"Ok Computer" is what a lot of people consider Radiohead's masterpiece so it's a solid place to start with, Riff, but I will always prefer "The Bends".

I would have got the Bends had it been part of the get one free sale I went to. I ended up getting Pablo Honey with Ok Computer.

OK Computer is wonderful. It takes some getting used to, but the song writing on the album is great. My two fave songs off Pablo Honey are Creep and Blow Out.

I enjoyed Pablo from start to finish, and I can't wait to listen to OK Computer. Just had to fit a heavy album in between listens of these albums.

I know you'll do it anyway but be sure to let us know what you think once you get it in your ear holes.

Love all Radioheads early albums, I feel they have lost tthere way lately

Enjoyable experience I will say for OK Computer. Songs like Let Down, Airbag were pretty nice, delivered a bit of atmosphere and I was listening to it with full attention. It is definitely something of a different listening experience compared to most music I listen to but it was a risk I was glad I took. No one told me to get into this band I took the punt.
To narrow down 3 favourite songs.
Airbag


Karma Police was another I loved.


Let Down

Still the best live band out there. saw them for the first time 15 years ago and this was my 13th Radiohead show.
In April at Coachella it was 100 and a big crowd. It was nice to see Radiohead in a small crowd and a mellow one so pretty close and still comfy on the floor.
Don't care what others say the new album live has some great moments and mixed in with older material it works great.

I like the acoustic sound of The Bends. Fake Plastic Trees is a song I really love having just listened to it.

Only days away from seeing them live. As excited as I am for the show I can't help but feel somewhere disappointed because, aside from what I've already said in this thread, I don't think there will be far more emphasis on synthesizers than Jonny Greenwood's guitar playing. He's one of my favorite guitarists of the last 20 years because I love how aggressive and unhinged his playing style is.
