Best Radiohead Album

[HseagullsH]

Got out all the albums today and been listening through and just cannot make my mind up which one is my favourite. If i had to pick, I think I'd say The Bends.

So what is yours? Don't bother replying if you don't like them...

Pablo Honey
The Bends
OK Computer
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail To The Theif
In Rainbows

Radiohead = Bunch of retards who can't play music.

 

[Rookie]

Up to and including OK Computer is all good stuff with Pablo Honey probably just taking it. After OK is a different story

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Loved pablo and the bends - OK was ok aftre that pretentious sh*t until the In rainbows which was a return to form. Thom vocals can really grate on you.

 

[brakespear]

Hail to the Thief just about nicks it from Kid A for me.

 

[warsaw]

In Rainbows is a fine album but for me it's between The Bends and OK. Depends what you want to listen to really, but The Bends just gets my vote

 

[looney]

Pretencious shit.

 

[raymondbriggs]

Radio-Dread by Easy Star All-stars
is the only answer

 

[DerbyGull]

X&Y

 

[Hotchilidog]

The Bends then Pablo then Ok not a big fan of the rest although I may revisit them after their storming set at reading this year.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

1) OK Computer
2) Hail To the Thief
3) The Bends
4) In Rainbows
5) Pablo Honey
6) Kid A
7) Amnesiac

No great surprises from me:

1- The Bends
2- Ok Computer
3- In Rainbows (what a return to form).

My other favourite would be the mini album of OK Computer bsides Airbag/How Am I Driving? which you can pick up cheap on ebay

would agree with the above comments that Radiodread is also an AWESOME tribute and yes, thom yorke's vocals can really grate.

 

[Zamora For England]

Voted The Bends. Everyone seems to favour OK Computer - it's good but not the best. Only heard Pablo Honey a couple of times but was very good.

 

[tinx]

Kid A for me

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

f*** sake HsH, Radiohead are shit!!

 

[GNF on Tour]

Good Poll.

The Bends - head and shoulders above all other quality outputs.

 

[Buzzer]

Definitely the Bends for me. There isn't a single track on there that could be regarded as a filler. I think also that the timing just as Britpop was exploding showed that the band were brave enough to go against the grain musically.

OK Computer is a more mature album and Radiohead managed to create a great 3rd album (always difficult to do) but a couple of the tracks are a little weak and as with Pablo Honey a slight claim to plagiarism on at least one song.

Third fave would probably be All hail to the thief although In Rainbows is certainly them at their most radio friendly for ages.

 

[HseagullsH]

Radiohead do seem to be a very marmite band. Everyone generally loves them or hates them.

I can kinda see why I suppose...

Been listening to There, There. My favourite song at the moment:yahoo:

 

[Buzzer]

First saw this yonks ago. Still makes me smile.

As songs about self-loathing go, I don't think there's been anything ever written that comes close to Creep. Not Beck's Loser, not the Smiths How Soon is Now, Not even Depeche Mode or Joy Division.

 

[xenophon]

In Rainbows - as someone has said already, a great return to form after a bit of borderline wankery with Amnesiac/Kid A
