Radiohead 90's Vs Radiohead 00's

[fikus222]

I like almost every song on both OKC and In Rainbows and the Bends rocks, plus the time I saw them in '97 is my all time favorite concert...so the 90s get my vote, but I sure like where they have been and where they are going.

[Robototron]

Ok Computer and their early Britpop stuff is pretty good, but the rest is all garbage. 90s it is.

[thom cobain]

i voted 00's even though my favorite album is ok computer. i do hope they play some 90's songs.

[Cameron Frye]

does anybody here regularly listen to fitter happier and go, yea fucking awesome?

i love OK computer to no end, but i still feel that they could have put in Lift or something else in place of that song to make an even better album.

[Starraven]

[RedHotSgtPeppers]

Even though OKC is my favorite album by them, my vote goes to 2000s Radiohead.

[nyarlathotoats]

Thar's what I thought. Listen, I love Radiohead, but honestly, I love post OK Computer shit more than i Love pre Ok Computer. I mean, Where I End, Myxomatosis, Nude, Idioteque, any complaints...no? thats what I thought...

[Starraven]

Too bad it's not post vs. pre ok computer ;P I completely agree.. nothing can ever compare to Ok Computer.

[RedHotSgtPeppers]

Thar's what I thought. Listen, I love Radiohead, but honestly, I love post OK Computer shit more than i Love pre Ok Computer. I mean, Where I End, Myxomatosis, Nude, Idioteque, any complaints...no? thats what I hought...

That's why I picked 2000's Radiohead. Even though OKC is a flawless masterpiece, the other stuff they made in the 90's doesn't hold up to Kid A, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows.

[windjackass]

Is In Rainbows anyone's favorite album? I think that and Pablo Honey are their two worst. The Bends/OK Computer/and Kid A are all tied for best to me.

In Rainbows is my brother's favourite album.

1. OK Computer
2. Amnesiac
3. In Rainbows
4. Hail to the Thief
5. The Bends
6. Kid A
7. The King of Limbs
8. Pablo Honey

[Sigma]

Easy choice actually... 00's. In Rainbows is their best album, followed by Kid A (imo).

[grannock]

Radiohead of today is a way better band. Not even close. Who really thinks radiohead was at its best opening for alanis morisett?

The piano on Fitter Happier is really beautiful though. I mean it's worth listening to just for that.

[rage patton]

This isn't even a choice. I cant believe 2000s Radiohead is winning. I bet if this poll started after King Of Limbs came out, 90s Radiohead would win.

[Cameron Frye]

isn't there a STRONG consensus that not only is Kid A the best RH album, but one of the greatest music albums ever created? also, since i believe that Amnesiac are songs from the Kid A sessions, it's essentially a carryover of positive praise to that album as well. HTTT was solid, does anyone ever say they get bored listening to that album? imo it has the most depth in regards to rock (Go To Sleep, some extent There There), to heavy piano tracks such as STTM, and electronic (Gloaming, myxamytosis...yea i can't spell that). In Rainbows, not necessarily a game changer in terms of Radiohead's sound but had an immense impact on the business and consumer side of the music industry. it's importance as a musical work from RH carried over outside of the bands hardcore fan base. "let me download a brand new RH album, FOR FREE?" that was pretty nuts.

if we were to base this poll on strictly on albums, it's pablo, bends, and ok...vs everything else. how many of us really listen to pablo that much, the % of fans isn't that high. it's a decent album but do we really care about their first release...i would guess not in comparison to the rest of their catalogue. also (please call me out if i'm wrong) they play almost nothing from that album in recent years). so now it's 2 albums vs basically everything else...including the ridiculous sets/light shows they come out with in the past few years (better technology, yada yada yada) yea there are chants for Street Spirit during shows and OKC is no doubt a gem of an album. also i wouldn't mind seeing that mother being played straight through at a show. at the end of the day there are just too many great aspects of the band that were created or evolved post 1999, imho.

[TomAz]

HHTF?

[Cameron Frye]

HHTF?

haha, i fucking suck. it's fixed

[rage patton]

There is not a strong consensus that KidvA is the best album. In fact, most of the people I know prefer OK Computer, myself included. Most Radiohead fan agree its one or the other, but I wouldnt say there is a strong concensus either way.

Of course Fitter Happier is not going to shine as a stand-alone track, but it is undeniably brilliant in the context and theme of OK Computer.

[KidRobot]

Also, I'm going to go with '00 Radiohead.

1. In Rainbows.
2. Kid A.
3. OK Computer.
4. Hail to the Thief.
5. The Bends.
6. Amnesiac.
7. The King of Limbs.
8. Pablo Honey.

So your tastes havnt matured since you were 15 years old. Good to know.

[Wonderbot]

I was of the opinion Radiohead is my favorite band in the world. Then I saw TOOL play on the 15th.... And I was remembered Radiohead? Just a band.

[heart cooks brain]

king of limbs wasn't released in the oughts anyway...

[Wonderbot]

I was of the opinion Radiohead is my favorite band in the world. Then I saw TOOL play on the 15th.... And I was remembered Radiohead? Just a band.

That being said, 00's radiohead without a second thought. And I've been a fan from the start.

[heart cooks brain]

this is understandable, although calling radiohead 'just a band' might be a bit extreme.

[tigermilkboy]

Hmmmm..a lot of my favorite Radiohead gigs were in the 1990's but they were smaller venues like Duchess of York, Charlotte, Astoria and Brixton Academy then 1997 Glastonbury headline slot was awesome.

[heart cooks brain]

Of course Fitter Happier is not going to shine as a stand-alone track, but it is undeniably brilliant in the context and theme of OK Computer.

i personally love fitter happier. it is my ring tone for anything work related.

[Exoskeletal]

Wow, what an insanely tough choice...Due to my long-standing obsession w/ OKC, I chose 90's. Overall, I went:

1. OK Computer
2(a). Kid A
2(b). The Bends
4. Amnesiac
5. In Rainbows
6. HTTT
7. Pablo Honey
8. KoL

THE PLANET IS A GUNBOAT IN A SEA OF FEAR

[Ray del Mundo]

This is not the most popular opinion, but I fucking love TKOL. Assuming that counts as part of the '00 (which is probably a bad assumption) then it's gotta be '00 FTW. But even assuming TKOL isn't part of the '00s, Kid A still is. And since Kid A is a fucking masterpiece and RH's best album, '00s still win.

For what it's worth (not much), I rank em like this:
1. Kid A
2. OKC
3. Amnesiac
4. TKOL
5. HttT
6. The Bends
7. In Rainbows
8. Pablo
