You KNOW it.

 

[demi]

*stops watch*

the time between reading this on IRC and reading this on GAF is about 2 seconds! A NEW RECORD!

 

[calder]

Bitch this thread has been done like 20 times.

And bitch you KNOW it's OK COMPUTER.

 

[Eminem]

OK Computer, no question

 

[Dead]

The Bends > Kid A > OK Computer

 

[Winged Creature]

OK Computer, no question

im gonna have to agree

 

[Jason]

OK Computer = Kid A > The Bends

 

[Diablos]

I won't accept it! I just won't!
*runs in a corner and cries*

How can you deny Planet Telex, The Bends, Fake Plastic Trees, Nice Dream, JUST, My Iron Lung, Sulk, Street Spirit. And then you have the My Iron Lung EP, which is a nice little extention of the album. Airbag EP has nothing on it.

These songs are flawless. OKC is good too, but my god, The Bends just have some amazing songs that, IMO, perfect britrock.

 

[pjberri]

OKC is #1. Better than Kid A, to boot.

 

[Diablos]

1. The Bends
- My Iron Lung EP
2. OK Computer
3. Kid A

Their top 3.

 

[Archaix]

The Bends, but not by all that much.

 

[Optimistic]

Pointless argument, they're both great albums in their own right.

IMO though, while The Bends is my personal favourite, if I had to be critical I'd say that OK Computer is the better record.

 

[scorcho]

OK Computer >>>>> The Bends

 

[android]

The Bends
Street Spirit (Fade Out) is incredible

 

[Foreign Jackass]

OK Computer, without any doubt.

Airbag > Planet Telex
Paranoid Android > Fake Plastic Trees
Karma Police > The Bends
No Surprises > Nice Dreams
Subterranean Homesick Alien > Sulk
Let Down > Just
Lucky > Sulk
Street Spirit = Exit Music
OK Computer still has Climbing up the walls and Electionneering. (The Tourist is not so great, but it's okay).

I didn't try to match styles of songs, I just go quality-wise.

I'd say there hasn't been a 6 song stretch (from Airbag to Karma Police) better than this since the Beatles, or maybe even of all time.

 

[AntoneM]

The Bends

I just find myself comming back to this album time and time again, I can't say the same for any other Radiohead album. Sure I'll listen to the other Radiohead albums on occation but I don't get the same enjoyment out of them as I do The Bends.

 

[Matlock]

hail to the thief

 

[Diablos]

hail to the thief

:lol You're asking for it now!

 

[Malakhov]

Not again...

 

[Guzim]

The Bends.

 

[Pimpwerx]

How come High and Dry gets no mention? Sure, it's the most played out track from Bends, but it's still good. Street Spirit and Fake Plastic Trees are also two of their best songs ever. It's a toss-up, so I think you have no choice but to tie OK Computer and The Bends. The Bends gets the edge for being first if nothing else. Both are better than Kid A IMO. PEACE.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

The bends

 

[Amneziak]

COM LAG: 2+2=5

Excellent EP from last year. Gagging Order is one of their best songs ever. Let's move on.

 

[speedpop]

I've always appreciated each Radiohead album individually. Comparing any of them is silly.

 

[6.8]

OK Computer and Maynard win!

 

[Ikse]

OK Computer has Let Down. The final part of that song, is the best Radiohead moment for me ever

 

[Shogmaster]

OK Computer, especially since some twat stole my copy a while back, and I still have The Bends. I need to get that CD again.

 

[heavy liquid]

And then you have the My Iron Lung EP, which is a nice little extention of the album. Airbag EP has nothing on it.

All of the b-sides from The Bends are gold. Bishop's Robes, Killer Cars, Talk Show Host, Maquiladora... I know I'm forgetting something, but God, they're all good!

 

[TheDrowningMan]

OK Computer, without a doubt.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

OK Computer = Kid A > The Bends

IAWTJ

 

[john tv]

OK Computer > all other Radiohead

 

[Hooker]

OK Computer wins

 

[radioheadrule83]

They're both freakin awesome.

Play both in succession on a regular basis.

 

[Andy787]

The Bends > Kid A > OK Computer

Same.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

The Bends = Kid A = OK Computer

All of them are awesome for diffrent reasons, can't place one over the other.

 

[kablooey]

Here's how it works for me:

Kid A > Hail to the Thief = Amnesiac = OK Computer > The Bends

*runs away*

 

[Crispy]

OK Computer = Kid A > The Bends

I'll have to go with this

 

[IJoel]

OK Computer >>>> The Bends

 

[GG-Duo]

OK Computer can fuck you up more than the Bends.
