Here’s a take: I think judging a band off of their worst releases, especially if they are still growing as band, is cosmically smooth-brained.

and rock has been an important factor of every Radiohead release except AMSP and KOL and Kid A to an extent (though the rock influence on that one is very apparent)

Look. Time to draw a line under this right.



When Radiohead ‘rocked’ they were alt/art rock. They weren’t ‘rock’ either way they were a million times worse than the yanks who were perfect at it but a billion times better than Muse who obviously later followed and were/are complete pish.

^ they released one song post-bends that can be considered generic rock, and it’s electioneering.

Neil Young should have quit music in shame after John Green recorded Black Star.

I actually agree, it's the best song on here



Apparently, it's the only song on The Bends that was written during The Bends sessions, cuz the rest were either written during the Pablo Honey sessions or before
