OK Computer v The Bends

[goo_mason]

My favourite track is Fake Plastic Trees, but that may be because I was full of teenage angst when I first heard it.

Ever heard Mr Hopkinson's Computer sing it? It's a classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDU_5gHc8Q

As with The Smiths, Radiohead did do one good song.

see, totally off base, the smiths have NEVER done a good song.

Lets be fair, they did, someone provided a link to it in Bike and Smiths thread. Mind you, it was only the one, everything else I've heard by them has been, how shall I put it, not to my taste.

If anyone is interested the one good Radiohead song is Street Spirit. I have no idea what LP, if any, it is on.

Bends. Still one of my most listened to albums...Always find myself falling back to it. I never got into OK or pablo in the same way

Actually, there is one, just one;
What Difference Does It Make, anyone?

 

[DiddlyDodds]

So it's got nothing to do with decompression sickness and diving computers?

I also started reading it and was sure its was about diving !!




Never heard of either of them so will get on with sleeping without the worry of which is best.

Oh lordy... tough one.

Ok Computer has tracks I like - Paranoid Android and the sublime headf*ck jangle that is Electioneering for example, BUT has more tracks i really don't like as well - Fitter happier, Exit Music, The Tourist....

The Bends.... brings about less of a reaction in me.... I like pretty much all of it; not as much as some of the tracks from Ok, but I don't hate any of it as much as some of the other stuff on Ok.

In which case, the logic would suggest then that The Bends is better, as I'd listen to all of it, whereas with Ok i'm skipping some tracks.

The Bends.

But my heart tells me Ok......

Can I say both?

Or opt for Pablo Honey?

OK Computer - apart from that embarrassing Fitter Happier shite.

Paranoid Android is like the cream of prog rock.

The 'cream of prog rock' has put me off radiohead eversince, I have tried & tried, but i get bored with it's 'clever proginess'

I loved the energy & honesty of the Bends, it represented (at the time) all that was good about post-punk-indie-rock.

So the Bends everytime for me

(Oh & i didn't enjoy them at Glastonbury in 96 or 97 -though that may have been due to the rain /quagmire!)

No, It's How Soon Is Now?

You could have at least waited until the 10 year anniversary on Tuesday to resurrect the thread.
