Except that wasn't really what I said. I love that particular song above all other Radiohead tracks and Pablo Honey came along at a time when I was at uni so the singles tended to get played a lot at clubs. I can generally take or leave Radiohead on the whole.

No surprises that you picked that one. I think it was let down by not having Creep on but it got lucky by coming out at a time of resurgence for British music. Just imagine when the tourist came to UK and was hearing tracks from it being played on the radio/in shops, they'd have been climbing up the walls to find out who it was!

Excellent! :toot:

I love Exit Music and Paranoid Android….. Talk Show Host was another song from the same era but that was hijacked for a film….. Strange that Exit Music stayed on the album.

The bends is also amazing…. Street Spirit is great – the video is great – in fact all their videos at the time for me was really interesting and clever.

…. I find that Kid A/Amnesiac just didn’t move me in the same way. Ah well….

The OK computer / In Rainbows mashup is the best.

How in the name of living strawberry float was this left in the vault? It's way too good. Rumour is that this was their original Bond theme go, as the strings are new from 2015 sessions. This is known because one of the guys in the liner notes of OKNOTOK, who is credited with working on the string arrangements for Man of War, was a child when OK Computer came out!

Ordered this on CD from Amazon because you got it as download as well and this was cheaper than just getting a download :? Download was available last night.

Listened to it pretty much from start to finished this morning for the first time in not sure how long - a while. (Except Fitter Happier, does anyone listen to that?)

Such a good album, not a bad song on there.

I get the whole "it's depressing" view point but I find because the songs are actually so good that it's uplifting.

Yup. It's a better track than Electioneering, at least.

This has just reminded me that In Rainbows was ten years ago. :dread:
