All cracking albums

[Gnomicide]

It's all prog rock for the under 40s.

[dentalplan]

The Bends isn't that great to be honest.

 

It certainly is. I know people shit on it because they've developed a lot since then and don't play the songs much but it definitely stands up alongside the best of the back-catalogue and other great alternative rock albums.

[ghandi]

My Brother ( Hogshead on here ) knew Ricky Gervias when he was an entertainments manager at the Student Uni of Gower st in London and Gervias said that Radiohead were the best live rock band he'd ever seen then, given he'd seen a few pass through in those days, he went onto XFM shortly after that. I think that was around the time of Pablo Honey / Bends.

[Gucci Piggy]

Aye I never think too much of The Bends, and then sometimes put it on in the car, because it's probably the only Radiohead album that wouldn't give my dad a heart attack, and realise how bloody good it is.

[addicted2noise]

Hail to the Thief joint last! The album that spawned 2+2 = 5 , There There and of my hidden faves " sail to the moon" has to be above TKOL surely?

 

It feels like a really tired album to me and I think the King of Limbs last three or four songs are excellent. I do really love gagging order from around the same time though.

My list: 

1. Kid A

2. Ok Computer

3. In Rainbows

4. The Bends

5. Amnesiac

6 = HTTT/TKOL

8. Pablo Honey

 

 

I agree with this list. Ask me again in 5 minutes and my opinion may be different.

 

On most days I'd say Amnesiac is probably better than the Bends.

[Time Being]

The Thom Yorke Pyramid Stage sound quality comments....where is this coming from?

I'm not gonna be able to find it but whilst people were speculating about who the final headliner was this year, someone posted saying they met Thom Yorke and asked him if Radiohead were the final headliner. He said no and that it was because the sound from the pyramid wasn't good enough.

 

Probably bollocks.

[sjseabass]

Given they supposedly turned down Glastonbury on the In Rainbows tour cycle to play Reading instead, whose main stage at times is like listening to a band through a cup and string in the next county over, it has to be bollocks.

[Time Being]

Ahhhh, yeah, amazing how our little community can take something so small and unsubstantiated and turn it into definitive criteria as to why someone may or may not play

[Alan_C]

This place is bloody strange for Radiohead conversations popping up all over the place.

[dentalplan]

They haven't played Glastonbury for 12 years now and Michael is constantly praising their Pyramid shows so I think there is probably something to them not wanting to play the Pyramid again.

[mungo57]

I remember the song there there got me into 'head hence why I love HTTT so much. Their best set of music on one album I think. Would love to see them on the Pyramid once before my clogs get popped

That was a very strange decision. Must have been money. Maybe they didn't think it had been long enough since 2003? I think that was their excuse in 2008 for not playing.

Annoying, either way.

Michael said neither Radiohead or Pulp wanted to headline in 2011.

[thewayiam]

Both have very memorable sets. I like Pulp but I'm not sure they are Pyramid headliners anymore. I'm not actually sure they were anyway, bar the obvious point hey were booked as one.

That'll be the clincher.  

 

They were certainly a pyramid headliner in 1997.  If Stereophonics can headline, then Pulp damn well can!

Did Gervais go to UCL then? Or just work there?

 

Google...

 

 

Edit - So he fuckin' did. And did philosophy! Huh. Never knew.

WRONG!

I prefer the sound there than pyramid....

[Badlands]

Pyramid sound is a beast nowadays, perfect. No complaints all weekend. Yeezy sounded massive.

 

Not as loud as the Chems at the Other mind, christ where did they pull that from?

[BlackHole2006]

I want this guy to be on the Pyramid stage Friday night.
