Fake Plastic Trees: Great song, or the greatest song?

[ridleybradout]

FPT is overrated IMO
*ducks*

[Kevin Davis]

It's never been particularly special to me either.

[LoathedVermin72]

Great song. Hardly the greatest, though.

This

[matt reeder]

Well, it's always been my favorite. But I think it's special to me because it's the first Radiohead song I ever heard, it's the song that got me into the band, and it's the first song I ever heard them play live.

How do you guys rate The Bends? There are times I'd even say it's my favorite of all their albums, but if you made me rank it I'd probably put it at #3 or #4.

Though #2 and #3 switch places frequently.

Pablo Honey

But really, other than 1-2 and 9, they all trade places on a regular basis. My only problem with Amnesiac, as much as I love it, is that I wish they would included 3-4 of the B-sides and dropped a few of the album cuts. I think "Cuttooth", "Fog", "The Amazing Sounds of Orgy" and "Worrywort" all belonged. But the highs on Amnesiac are really, really high.

[Kevin Davis]

"The Bends" is my least favorite album they've made apart from "Pablo Honey."

I could see AMSP going as high a my #4 spot if I listened to it more.

I could see AMSP going as high a my #4 spot if I listened to it more.

I might even rank it above Kid A.

Real talk: the only reason I put it below Kid A on my rankings is because I didn't want to get any grief from anyone here and because I've listened to Kid A more times. But I actually do like AMSP more than Kid A.

This is the very thing I was trying to spare all of us from, Pete.

[matt reeder]

Really isn't the genius of Radiohead the very fact that at least 6 of their 9 albums are somebody's favorite? Their weaker albums would be many other bands' best albums.
