Haven't listened to this for years. Stuck it on this morning, absolute banger.

What else haven't I listened to for donkeys that I need to listen to NOW? Answers on a postcard please TWTD.

That is a regular listen but I'll stick it on in a bit anyway. The most beautiful album of all time.

Speaking of Radiohead. Have you seen that they have released KID A and Amnesiac as a double album called KID A MNESIA?

I still prefer the latter to the former.

I love both (but I'm a Radiohead head so to be expected), but can't bring myself to buy two albums that I already own (see also OKNOTOK).

You prefer 'Kind of Blue' to 'A Love Supreme'? Or have you just not listened to the Coltrane for a while...

Yes I do. Bill Evans is the tiebreaker. Heck, not even the tiebreaker, he's the reason Kind of Blue wins by a length!

Fair enough, but just to square the circle I guess you know that Johnny Greenwood is an admirer of Alice Coltrane - so you could always give 'Ptah El Douad' a spin to see if there are any traceable influences on 'OK Computer'.

Good init (my third favourite Radiohead album but probably close to a top 10 all time for me).

As an aside, I've been trying to come up with my top 10 songs ever list for the last few months, quite a good exercise to get you listening to things you've not heard in a while.

That's me set up now to play a few tracks off Nick Drake's 'Bryter Layter'.

[edit] Just finished listening to the whole album, a good use of forty minutes time whilst my ears can still listen.

I did the same thing with Doves' Last Broadcast a few years ago. That was similarly fresh after a long break.

It's good but not a patch on 'Dirt' by Alice in Chains.

Recently gone back to mid 00s indie and got all nostalgic listening to the Pigeon detectives

My answer to the question though:

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Genesis - Invisible Touch

Ok Computer has some brilliant moments like Airbag, Exit Music, Let Down, Lucky but few songs like Electioneering, Climbing up the Walls that are not great imo.

Fav Radiohead albums are Kid A and In Rainbows both great albums

Yes it's one of the best, and the one which probably divides opinion the most. Essentially the album that killed off their indie-leaning following.

I was given Kid A by someone I worked with who had listened to it once and hated it. Then he took it back and just gave me the disc and the inlay because he said he could reuse the case. I find it challenging in places and, being a lover of complete and as finished off as they can be songs, it's 'The Bends' that I rate most highly amongst Radiohead's output that I have heard. Nevertheless, all the favourable comments about 'Kid A' mean that I have to go back to it sometime soon.

Listened to Songs to Learn & Sing by Echo and The Bunnymen the other day. And a few times since.

Bit of a cheat as it’s more of a compilation album but a cracker nevertheless.

Agree, Amnesiac a better listen.

I like Radiohead but they've recorded some complete rubbish over the years. The King of Limbs is so bad you can't listen to it.

OK Computer is fantastic for the first two thirds, then it tails off sharply. It's not Dark Side of the Moon.

My favourite albums are The Bends and Amnesiac. Two thirds of OK Computer and half of Hail to the Thiefs. In Rainbows and the last one they released are pretty good as well.

I remember seeing them in 1993 when nobody cared, 200 people watching them and playing numbers from their first album which apart from the two singles isn't very good.

I'm with you in preferring Dirt tbh. Incredible album.
