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?

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.
