The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

This fucking book

Huh?

They probably broke through here with “Creep” before they broke through in the UK.

Also, MTV regularly played the video for “Paranoid Android” even though it was a strange 6 and a half minute animated clip that didn’t feature the band at all.

In terms of pure visceral musical enjoyment, The Bends > everything else.

I love The Bends but I also love OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows a bit more. The Bends is a phenomenal guitar record though.

The Bends is my favorite but with the exception of Pablo Honey, they’re all at the very least very good.

TBH, If The King of Limbs disappeared, it would impact me less than if Pablo Honey disappeared because at least Pablo Honey has “Creep”.

Meh. The best thing about Creep is My Iron Lung.

The My Iron Lung EP is my favourite thing they put out.

I kinda love later Radiohead too much to go that far but it is right up there in that era with the 2 CDs of the street spirit single which had some insanely high quality b sides.

Anyway, Kid A. The album that threw everyone in 2000 but the more you listen to it the more it’s just Radiohead but with different beats.

How to Disappear Completely is my all time favourite Radiohead song.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I ignored Radiohead until Hail to the Thief. (I liked Creep but thought Pablo Honey was dreadful and anything I saw on MTV/heard on the radio just made me go “gee that singer guy sure is whiny.”) Therefore, I missed the whole “What the fuck just happened?” with Kid A. I bought all of the CDs in like a month after Hail. Kid A did not seem like some crazy leap to me.

It was crazy how guarded it was before it came out to. Rather than receive promo copies in stores before it was released, the reps came and did a listening session. One time straight through, and nobody else was allowed to handle the disc.
