This is Radioheads best album. OKC is 2nd
>MY DICK, IT BEEEEEEEEENDS
>JUST DO IT TO YOURSELF, JUST DO, FUCK MY SHIT UP SENPAI
>NICE MEME (IF YOU THINK A SHIPOST'S ENOUGH)
with such golden lyrics, how could it not be their best?
Quality is subjective. Best not to even conceptualize things in terms of "bests."

Great thread anon
Worth discussing
If you do a track by track review of The Bends vs OKC, The Bends beats it without a doubt.
This is my favourite Radiohead album. I don't think it's their best work, but it's my personal favourite.
>>65591677
Planet Telex v Airbag (close but Telex wins) 1-0
The Bends v Paranoid Android ( PA probably) 1-1
High And Dry v SHA (SHA) 1-2
FPA v Exit Music (verry close, FPA wins imo) 2-2
Bones v Let Down (Let Down obv ) 2-3
(Nice Dream) v Karma Police (KP) 2-4
Just v Fitter Happier (Just, FH is good tho) 3-4
My Iron Lung v Electionerring (MIL) 4-4

>NICE MEME (IF YOU THINK A SHIPOST'S ENOUGH)
FUCK
The Bends isn't even top 5
1. Kid A
2. OKC
3. Amnesiac
4. In Rainbows
5. TKOL
>>65592352
Airbag wins, you pleb: 0-1
PA wins: 0-2
SHA wins: 0-3
The fuck is FPA? You mean Fake Plastic Trees, which obviously does win: 1-3
Let Down: 1-4
Karma Police: 1-5
Just: 2-5
MIL: 3-5
CUTW: 3-6
No Surprises: 3-7
Lucky: 3-8
The Tourist is miles above Street Spirit: 3-9
Not even close, and this is assuming you can compare albums this way. As a singular piece, OK Computer functions much better.
Objective rankings:
GOD TIER
OK Computer, Kid A
GREAT TIER
Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows, A Moon Shaped Pool
GOOD TIER
The Bends, Amnesiac, The King of Limbs
LISTENED TO IT JUST TO SAY I DID TIER
Pablo Honey
>>65592662
Street Spirit is one of their best songs though
>>65592715
Replace HTTF with Amnesiac
Then replace ASMP with The Bends
and you've got it
>>65592720
it's pretty good, but not one of their best. The Tourist is much better.
>>65592744
>Thinking Amnesiac is better than Hail to the Thief
>can't even acronym properly

Subjective rankings:
GOD TIER
Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows
GREAT TIER
OK Computer, A Moon Shaped Pool, The King of Limbs
GOOD TIER
The Bends, Hail to the Thief
WORST OF THE 90'S TIER

I can't give you shit for it now since you were honest.

>>65592352
Airbag
The Bends
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Fake Plastic Trees (yeah this is close)
Let Down (this was pretty close for me too, I actually like Bones and think Let Down is overrated)
Nice Dream
Just
My Iron Lung
Bullet Proof
Black Star
Lucky
Fuckin tie, can't decide
7.5 - 4.5 for The Bends. I think the clincher is just how solid the Bends is in the second half, whereas the second half of OK Computer is just alright in my book.
>>65592867
Another factor is the fact that I never want to hear Paranoid Android or Karma Police ever again, because I've heard them both way way too much, even though they are both fine songs. I instinctively voted against both of them in both matchups without even thinking.
>>65592352
>SHA over High and Dry
Other than that this is right

1.Street Spirit
2.Fake Plastic Trees
3.Reckoner
4.No Surprises
5.Nude
>>65593254
High and Dry fuckin sucks dude, that's like the worst song on the album.
>>65593205
Karma Police I'm still able to enjoy, but Paranoid Android, a song I used to love, only irritates me now.
>>65593317
1. Idioteque
2. Pyramid Song
3. There There
4. House of Cards
5. Let Down
>>65593346
High and Dry doesnt suck, but SHA is a superior song in every way.
Just because Thom doesnt like it doesnt mean you also have to not like it. Example: all of Hail to the Thief.
>>65593317
Jigsaw falling into place is top 3

TKOL should be 4, then Bends 5, In Rainbows shouldn't be in top 5.
>>65594097
but anon, IR is the best radiohead album
CAN WE ALL AGREE KID A IS #1?
>>65594139
I like OK Computer a bit more to be honest. Kid A loses me a bit with the title track and In Limbo

Alright, but anything but IR, I like IR but it shouldn't be #1, neither should the Bends, though thats good too.
