Favorite Radiohead album?

[Funky_monks]

Amnesiac was the best for me, it built nicely on Kid A's foundation.

I do like the way that they will try new directions, I often get bored of bands that bring out similar sounding albums.

 

[Detroit City]

yes! The Bends has taken the lead again

 

[Augie March]

Toughie. The Bends was the first album I fell in love with, OK Computer contains most of Radiohead's finest work and Kid A has grown on me so much over the years.

Think I'll go with my heart and go with The Bends.

 

[Firky]

Kid A. Because not only is it a good album but it is a shift away from the guitar based indie bands that saturate the genre. For the person who said "what about their live album" that was an EP called "I Might be Wrong". Not an LP (although the first recording of the EP I have could be an album, it features lots of out-takes).

HTTT is also very good but not as good as Kid A, and Kid A and Amnesiac did need to be released as two seperate albums - they don't work together.

Firky. God of Radiohead.

 

[Dubversion]

as often stated, i have immense respect for Radiohead whilst not really liking their records.

they're at their best - IMO - on the melancholy stuff, and The Bends wins for me.

Don't much like them, very glad they exist

Did you give Thom's solo album a listen if you do not like Radiohead?

 

[Firky]

*opens popcorn*

 

[marty21]

i only have the first 4 LPs, is it worth getting the last two? any good?

yeh. bless him he tried, but it's fucking pedestrian

If you like The Bends and OK Computer, yes.

 

[The Groke]

it's quite clearly amnesiac. fules.

Yes, yes it is.

Pyramid Song, Knives Out, You and Whose Army, Spinning Plates and I Might Be Wrong are some of the finest songs they have written.


After Amnesiac, I would say Kid A, OK Computer and The Bends are all neck and neck.

 

[Crispy]

Old thread alert! In Rainbows beats previous efforts!

 

[The Groke]

[Silva]

The Bends (which is ace) and Pablo Honey are the only ones that don't bore the crap out of me.

 

[wishface]

3) In Rainbows
3.25) I Might Be Wrong EP
3.5) Airbag EP
4) OK Computer
5) Hail To The Thief
5.5) Running from Demons

I'm sorry Firks but The Bends is #1 for me

 

[tangerinedream]

These days I can only listen to Hail to the Thief (which is their best) and bits of the Bends.


Everything else feels a bit tired.

I think Hail to the Thief is probably the best. I've really tried to like In Rainbows but not totally been convinced by it. I never liked them that much before Kid A and Amnesiac which are good albums but I think Hail to the Thief is the one Album I would say 'I really, genuinelly like a lot'

 

[obanite]

OK Computer.

 

[isitme]

Creep

 

[chriswill]

Kid A for me.

The Bends is a cracking album too though
