Re: OK Computer

Not even my favourite Radiohead album so definitely not my favourite album ever *cough*itaots*cough* but it's an amazing album nevertheless. "Fitter Happier", "Lucky", "Let Down"... every song is excellent.

I know you prefer Amnesiac, you think Kid A is evil, and prefer Hail to the Thief to In Rainbows.

Re: OK Computer

HTTT is my absolute favourite now. See it's hard to rank them because they're all bloody genius, with the exception of Kid A. The main reason I don't like Kid A is because it's a weird place between ambient and Radiohead and I haven't found a proper mood for it.

Okay

And see it's not hard to rank them here now for me because I've actually had time to think about it and listen to them, comparing the positive and negative aspects of each song.

As I said in another thread, my RH best-of would look like this (with the addition of the good version of TLW)

Re: OK Computer

OK Computer is pretty amazing, call me crazy, but I think I like The Bends just as much though  wink

Re: OK Computer

The Bends is an album I've commonly seen people just getting into Radiohead/people who mainly like '90s alternative really like. It's a great album but isn't too strong and doesn't really showcase Radiohead's experimental and conceptual side.

My favourite song on that album, which used to be my least favourite, is "Bullet Proof..I Wish I Was". I always left it off of my iPod and stuff, but one day I was walking home from school and it totally clicked. It was pretty awesome.

hehe, I guess I am just getting into them. Lately, I've been listening to them more and more, and I don't normally get some of OK computers conceptual songs, and I don't get Kid A's electronic/synth sound at all, but I guess if I give it time it'll grow :]

Yeah, for me it was kind of the same way (except I still don't like Kid A). I started with Amnesiac and was like what even is this and retreated to OKC and the Bends.  smile

Yes, you do - sort of.  Yours is titled as a song track though (maybe with a typo?) so it's not clear that it's a general Radiohead discussion.  And, actually, a more specific discussion is usually more preferable to an overly broad one  smile

It does have a typo  tongue

I didn't find it overly broad, I've had topics like that before  hmm

He's saying both this and yours are specific, but different and not just general RH discussion.
