It sounds like fucking Oasis and U2

>>71676188
It perfected Brit-rock and then they moved on to be more experimental since they couldn't do anything else in that style.

Neither.

Point me to ONE ( O + N + E)
im talking about the NUMBER # 1:
song by either band that sounds anything like ANYTHING on the bends in terms of atmosphere and experimentation. I'll wait.

It's objectively their best album.
If you disagree, you're a faggot.

I think it's a better album than OK Computer.

I don't know, I really like The Bends, it's my favorite "rock-era" Radiohead album, but I can't enjoy OKC as much, I think it's too all over the place.

Help me understand, is this britpop? I know it's alt-rock, but does it fall into that more specific sub-genre, or was it just a British rock album released in the mid 90's?

It's more grunge than Britpop, but I think people just say that because a lot of the songs are built around guitar hooks and the fact that they're british.

>>71677968
That's true for Pablo Honey, but the Bends is straight-up Britpop. Just look at High and Dry, the Fake Plastic Trees, Bulletproof, those could be Oasis songs.

it's a blunder in Radiohead's catalog, unbearably boring songwriting and instrumentation

>>71677254
wrong. <- (period)

>>71676283
That explains why it's so good. 90s Brit Rock was great and so was 80s U2.

it was the most precise adaptation of grunge by a british band - it was the spirit of grunge within a british body.
