The King is Limbs is a great example of how much better the songs are after the band has had a chance to play them live a bunch of times and develop them. I implore everyone who has written off that album to listen to the Live from the Basement sessions. The songs are so much richer and melodic.

To be sure, however, Separator is a top 10 Radiohead song of mine, so I’m partial.

Ours are almost identical except for your weird position for The Bends!

I still only like the second half of King of Limbs, but that session they did gives me a greater appreciation for the other songs, which was your point anyway...

The Bends is such a good record.

It is a little whiny

I can understand that critique but I don't really agree.

I don't really like The Bends at all -- I got rid of it when I was decluttering a few weeks ago. Yorke's voice on it is extremely unpleasant to me.

King of Limbs, however -- now that's a record I dig.

I feel like Joey and I had a nice conversation about this once in the Radiohead thread.

I have been meaning for a Radiohead run...maybe after I am finished with the Grateful Dead journey that is now at 4 months and counting...

I really like The Bends. The guitars, the melodies...the songwriting. I miss that era too.

We need a Radiohead thread.

And The Bends is a great album.

A little. But it's not up its own arse as much as some of their later stuff.

It's a pleasant and rather easy listen.

Agree with LMS.

Fuck the up-arsers. Up the benders.

Listening to the Rolling Stone podcast with Melissa Etheridge. She does a subscription tv stream with different tiers. Every week she does 3 x 1 hour acoustic shows. Covers show, Deep Cuts show and a Saturday night concert with her classics.

Each are $10 a go or a monthly subscription for $50.

What a great idea.

Yeah, that's really awesome. Surprised more artists aren't doing something similar.
