Not gonna post my list but damn, these TKOL rankings got me fucked up.

 

had a big moment with Amnesiac the last year and now it's one of the first ones I go for

 

Gagging Order is the second best HTTT song which is equally a vote for how amazing that song is as it is a vote for how much I feel they dropped the ball on the actual album

 

I fuck with Paperbag Writer a lot

 

TKOL under Pablo is a crime lol

 

welcome to the club

 

I love all their albums but I have to say, I’ve found a lot of their live recordings to be so much more engaging for me in a lot of ways. Helped me appreciate the albums a lot more as well. Especially songs off TKOL and Amnesiac. Hot damn I love this band

Hail to the Thief
In Rainbows
Amnesiac
Kid A
Ok Computer
King of Limbs
A Moon Shaped Pool
The Bends
Pablo Honey

 

I genuinely like Blow Out and a few other songs on Pablo more than anything on TKOL. Radiohead's best songs from that era got left off the album. The Daily Mail, Staircase, Supercollider, etc. That's one reason I vastly like TKOL From the Basement version to the actual album.

pablo horny

 

bandsplain called pablo “basically a gin blossoms album” which endeared it to me but it still sucks

 

it's fine, just a portrait of a band before they found their voice, the jump to the bends is still remarkable

 

The Bends isn't my favorite but it's the one I put on the most cause it rocks

 

You, Creep, and Blow Out are all Bends level. Most of the rest is outright bad, but I do like Prove Yourself a lot in a 90s way

 

It’s cool if we shouldn’t give credit to a bad album for its live reimaginings but these are elite:

latter not reaaally Radiohead but shrug

 

Has anyone listened to The Smile stuff?
(The new Thom and Jonny project)

 

perfect song

 

The bends and Pablo aren’t good

 

Correct. The Bends is great

 

acting like the bends and pablo are remotely similar levels is baffling

 

They are both albums I’d never throw on willingly

 

it absolutely is, but if we wanna talk baffling it’s why on earth did they mix and release that take when this existed. The energy difference is off the charts:
