Radiohead read on


Ok they are a rock band and with OK computer they won lots of critical fame. But with kidA and amnesiac they have created truely great albums. I think that they have recorded these albums in new and inventive ways and the sound quality or misuse of it is amazing. They have also pushed the musical boundries with the content and delivery of their music. I should also state that I am not such a big rock music fan but these albums are emotional inventive and intoxicating and force me to want to listen. What do you think?

I am of the opinion that "The Bends" is their greatest album. "OK Computer" would be what I would consider their second best album. I saw them live at Roseland in New York in support of "The Bends" album and they were alright. I saw a live clip of them recently while channel surfing and it seems that their live act has improved.

Their is a band out of Liverpool called "Gomez" that has two albums out that are must gets. "Bring It On" is their first release and "Liquid Skin" is the follow up album. Check them out.

Happy Listening
I'd have to say OK Computer is their best album, as well as the second-best album of the 1990's (Never Mind). I suppose we could start a whole new thread on that, huh? 10Best rock albums of the 1990's...
incredible band..i saw them live in Barrie , Ontario, Canada this past August ...yes Radiohead is innovative and pushing the envelope to a much larger size!!
Jimmyrod- I had the exact opposite experience. I got Pablo Honey for free because I was working in the business at the time. The commercial overplay of 'Creep' convinced me that the band was just about getting on the angst bandwagon, so I never really listened and ended up selling the disc.

I didn't really get back into them until Kid A came out- I just never picked up OK Computer despite the critical acclaim. Since then I've bought the rest of the discs (though not Pablo Honey again, despite the fact that I really like some songs).

Saw them this past summer and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Great crowd of fans (low bubba factor) and an amazing production.

If you want a rock album, get The Bends. For something more challenging, try OK Computer, Kid A, or Amnesiac.
I also got pablo honey for free and listened to it for a couple weeks and ended up giving it away. I live in San Francisco and when ok computer came out I heard it being played everywhere every record store, coffee shop, and clothing store that had a stereo system. I also read all the reviews about it but still never listened to it. When kid A was getting its inital reviews in prerelease press I started taking notice so the day after it came out I went out of my way to check it out. And yes I have heard people use this type of sound before but it is in the manner that they have given us something that is new and of the moment and at the same time walked away from their (rock star sound) to try something different that brought me into owning thier last three albums. Thanks for all the reponses....
