2nd disc of In Rainbows is indeed brilliant. Too bad it's not available on vinyl though.

So there's some news going around that Radiohead is going back to studio this summer
 
I think poor thom needs some rest
 
I don't know what to say, I'm exited but seriously thom is draining himself out

Guys,
 
As someone that only really listened to OK Computer and The Bends - which ONE album I should I listen to now, to get me me to check out Radiohead again?

 

[MellonCollie]

Pablo honey
 
JAY KAY i tricked you
 
Kid A, That is all, just listen to kid A.
 
Kid A Ok PC and The Bends are my 1# albums

I think The Bends is more accessible if you're into alternative and rock, but OK Computer is a masterpiece.

Anything worth listening to post OK Computer and The Bends?

All of them except King of Limbs and Amnesiac, IMO.

They're acquired tastes, i would say. I absolutely LOVE amnesiac's jazzy sounds, and king of limbs has this nice, "controlled", electronica on it. The singles released afterwards is better than a majority of the songs, however. Plus the new stuff they showed during their live shows sound great.

Lotus Flower was the song that got me back into radiohead
 
Everytime I listened to it I was blown away. Listening to Radiohead more now Lotus Flower is an okay song and I wish KoL had songs like it but I didn't listen to KoL right away

All of them, but in particular In Rainbows. If you're undecided on King Of Limbs at first, watch the "From The Basement" video of them doing it.

Just listened to Videotape for the first time ever
 
Just Amazing. I really don't wanna listen to in Rainbows yet but Wow. I'm just speechless after this song.

 

[kryten123]

Thanks, I think I will try Kid A as my first album

 

[applebook]

The acoustic piano version of Videotape is hauntingly beautiful. I love the bass on this track, but Thom's acoustic rendition just highlights how great a song it is even without any production behind it. 

 

[MellonCollie]

****, The Bends is pretty depressing
 
Even songs like Just which sound happier have lyrics that will give you suicidal thoughts
 
But It's a good feeling alltogether, life is beutiful
 
The Bends is amazing, but sad, just like life
 
 
Hey tell us what you thought about Kid A

 

[kryten123]

I haven't had a chance to pick up Kid A yet . I don't mind depressing songs as I think good music should stir emotions....good or bad. I tend to Follow heavier going stuff with something lighter to lift the mood. Funnily enough as my "audiophile" journey has progressed...the less I listen to lyrics and more to the music
