| At
first I hated Radiohead. I thought 'Creep' was the dumbest, whiniest
song ever made. Then I got it. Thank God. |

songs of their debut to the anaesthetic nightmare covered in their next CD. |

| An
EP that was released in England that is truly wonderful. Really a full album
in its own right, it consists mostly of b-sides, one track from The Bends, and one acoustic version of 'Creep.' |

| Just
when you thought that music couldn't get any more alienated, along comes
Kid A. The follow-up to their epic masterpiece only furthers the ground that was laid with OK Computer. I remember seeing them perform a track off this on 'Saturday Night Live' and thinking that I witnessed the massacre of modern music. I felt abandoned by Radiohead, I felt alienated. This thing scared me. I listened to it again years later, and discovered that it's not so bad after all. |

| Strangely
hypnotic, experimental rock from Oxford's finest. It feels like Radiohead
is trying to work their way back to conventional songs with each album since Kid A, and at times they almost make it. I'm glad they don't because THIS is what rock music is about: freedom, experimentation; the journey is half the fun and the journeys Radiohead take us on are wonderful. Sad, scary, horrific, joyful . . . all wonderful! |

| The
album that changed the music industry! Released online and allowed to pay
whatever you want through their website (I paid 2 pence!), this scheme could only work if the album was fantastic. And it is. They finally found a perfect bridge between conventional song strtucture and experimentation. I'd gotten away from Radiohead over the years, but this wonderful collection of fantastic songs brought me back into the fold (yes, I had their other ones, but I never listened to them anymore - the reviews posted are after I'd gotten back into them). I've rediscovered Radiohead, and my life is so much richer for it! |
