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!)
