Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 120158, member: 1510"] To begin with, if you listened to [I]Pablo Honey[/I], you listened to the wrong Radiohead. They've abandoned that album as everyone hates it, with Radiohead themselves having hated before the rest of us did. And I'd go so far as to say [I]The Bends[/I] (while not a bad album by any means) is only a missing link between PH and their more definitive works. So that leaves us with everything from [I]OK Computer[/I] onward. The thing that's worth noting is the experimentation done with that work combined with the sound built up from PH and TB. They played around with things that you wouldn't normally combine with early 90s alt-rock, such as synthesizers and even prog elements. That created a different sound from what others were doing at the time, making them unique in the 1997-2001 sea of post-grunge and nu metal garbage. That doesn't mean everyone is going to like it, but the fact that they were actually trying to do something different when everyone else in the mainstream was chasing the radio-friendly unit shifter money made them a breathe of fresh air in a polluted environment. And people who enjoyed that era of their work have continued to enjoy what they put out later. I listened to Kanye a couple of times after hearing he was a "revolutionary" artist. He doesn't do anything to stand out at all. And his personality turns his mediocrity to trash. [/QUOTE]
