but yeah, he's never been that intelligible; probably working out the Michael Stipe book.Which reminds me - I properly got into this band and REM at the same time after hiring cassettes of Out of Time and The Bends from the local library. That was a cheery week for 14 y/o me.

'How I Made My Millions' is almost a pisstake of Thom's non-verbal singing, right?

When There There, Planet Telex, and then Bodysnatchers run into each other on a playlist in that order it doesn't seem like Radiohead have actually been all that radical in their development over that 13/14 year period. Obviously there's a lot of other stuff too, but I used to think of Kid A as a real "this is a new band" moment and it's, of course, not that simple at all.

This poll's really fucking broken me.

This was tweeted by Thom and just retweeted by Radiohead.

I'd love to do another one to see how A Moon Shaped Pool would get on.

would think it needs more time, surely KoL would fare better by now

I also think we should have a thread for hilarious fan hyperbole and fill it with quotes on Radiohead
also, FIGHT!:

Excellent and amusing insight into how Grant Gee made the No Surprises video. I'd love to read a nice fat Q+A type book about their whole career. There still isn't a decent Radiohead book as far as i'm aware?

My top four, too — but their best rock riff is The National Anthem.

“Bodysnatchers” for me, but I will rep for “There, There” too.

Kid A for me, but leaving out The Bends is like leaving out the heart.

You guys been listening to the weekly gigs from their archive? Dublin 2000 and Bonaroo 2006 have been really excellent so far. Soundboard quality too. Astoria ‘94 tonight..

it's cool they're doing this weekly thing for the pandemic... though it's all (so far) stuff they already put out on their "public library" site. I'd probably be more enthused to check it out if not for that... even though I haven't gotten around to much of it yet! Oh well.
About this poll.... I just recently did my first ilm artist ballot and I may have misunderstood about albums. Are you only supposed to list the ones you really like (or, i guess, "rate")? I'm just surprised at the low number of votes for Pablo Honey. I doubt that few of the voters ever heard Pablo Honey. They just didn't even bother to put it last on their list?

the rules for polls vary a fair bit, the underworld poll is definitely a huge outlier in ballot size. i'd imagine for this one people were only allowed to vote for a maximum of 5 albums.
