Agree with Subby. Palbo Honey=Good

Nemo's Brother: Agree with Subby. Palbo Honey=Good

I don't know. IMO it's not a bad album, but I've always found it boring. Definitely their weakest.

I agree with the dude when he says Pablo Honey is immature - it's by a band that hasn't found themselves yet. But it's not horrible. He also says, "The record doesn't really foreshadow the future greatness of the band and is pretty bland in its entirety." That's incorrect. It's fleeting but it's there. In "Creep," right before the chorus, after he sings "You're so very/farking special..." there's that KER-CHUNK guitar noise that contains all the potential of what was yet to come from Radiohead.

And I also really like "Anyone Can Play Guitar."

Pablo Honey started it all. A debut shouldn't be looked down on as the worst of an artist.

The Final Cut is an unappreciated masterpiece.

Sorry, but all Weezer sucks.

I've got to agree w/ the reviewer on Pablo Honey. Sure there are brief flashes of what's to come, but that still doesn't make it a great album. There are tons of bands that put out albums better than Pablo Honey but where never really heard from again, the difference is they didn't follow it up with the sheer awesomeness that is The Bends.

All of this.

Love Radiohead.

Pablo Honey sucked.

Took me a long time to like them after hearing that album.

FTFA: I love Floyd, but this album is a pile of crap.

No. You don't love Floyd. I think The Final Cut was the perfect 'last' record for Pink Floyd.

worst albums lists should never include first albums...ever

Yeah, but if this is supposed to be the "worst album by a great artist" ... how is Pablo Honey, the album that sparked their career, worse than say Amnesiac? Even Kid A, which has some brilliant tracks, has 3 or 4 songs which aren't really songs at all. I gotta say as an overall album, in 1993 for fark's sake, Pablo Honey deserves credit for greatness.

i'm starting to think the blue album was a great album by an otherwise shiatass band.

I liked Supernatural. Nyah.

The Final Cut, not so much. I even listened to TFC for the first time in years last weekend. My reaction was "fark all that, we've got to get on with Meddle or Dark Side."

flavor of the month: i'm starting to think the blue album was a great album by an otherwise shiatass band.

i can agree with that if you throw pinkerton in there. that shiat was a masterpiece.

The Final Cut is freaking good.

you need to go back and listen to pinkerton then.

Memories of my teenage disappointment still linger from The Clash's Cut the Crap. Mind you, this was back when getting a new album on the release day was a big event.

Top 5 reasons this author is a douchebag.

The Green Album - Solid effort, not their best, but certainly better than their last album. How did that not beat this album?

Supernatural - Great album as long as you forget that Rob Thomas was ever in it. If you don't agree, you're a moron.

The Final Cut - Also a great change of pace and awesome finale from the Floyd

Pablo Honey - A great introductory Radiohead album. If you want to take pot shots, I suggest you listen to Kid A.

Load - Um, what!?

This article should be called "Top 2 worst albums by otherwise great artists, and 5 example of how I have no musical taste whatsoever.

Even as kick-ass as Radiohead is, all of their albums have some crap on them. And I'm not talking mediocre filler; I mean out and out garbage. But here's the question: Is there any Radiohead album that doesn't have something awesome on it?

absoluteparanoia: The Green Album - Solid effort, not their best, but certainly better than their last album. How did that not beat this album?

the green album really pissed me off. it was basically a remake of the blue album, and at under a half hour, it's really hard to even call it an album.

/Exit light! =D
//Enter night! =D
///Do not touch link: very hot

Oh man! Someone has differing interests in music than me! This means I suck and must kill myself or at least the author of this senseless dribble! Will someone please think of the pixels!

That being said, he made a good call on the Floyd album. After listening to Animals, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, DSOTM, The Wall (which isn't _that_ good), Division Bell, and Live at Pompeii (which isn't really considered an album, but it should be), The Final Cut leaves a bad taste in my ears. I don't even listen to it any more.

Oh well... I'd rather be a good bad that releases a bad album than a bad bad that never releases a good album. I'm looking at you Coldplay.

I gotta disagree. I don't think OK Computer (sans Fitter Happier) or In Rainbows have anything resembling garbage on them. I could put those 2 albums on shuffle and never skip a song.

i loved Load. loved it

Pink Floyd had a catalog of classics...Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, The Wall, Meddle, Piper at the Gates of Dawn...

...The Final Cut was a great end to a great list. Not to say it was better or worse (I personally like it best) but it serves as a perfect closing chapter.

last lyrics to The Final Cut...."Two Suns in the Sunset"

and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end

ilmaestro: The Final Cut is an unappreciated masterpiece.

yes.

The Hero's Return and The Gunner's Dream are two of the most moving pieces I have ever heard. I remember them blowing my little eighteen year old mind when I actually listened to the lyrics the first time.

I am disappointed that I haven't yet seen the "Every band you like sucks" cliche'.

Squawky: I am disappointed that I haven't yet seen the "Every band you like sucks" cliche'.

It's only true in your case. The rest of us are very tasteful.

I liked Supernatural. And it was great to see them on that tour.

Agree with Subby - Radiohead is pure garbage.

ekdikeo4: Agree with Subby - Radiohead is pure garbage.

while thom yorke does sing in a falsetto a lot these days, i don't think you can compare him to shirley manson. but they did both release good albums.

plus, she's not really known for a very "girly" voice. fine actress though.

I do not like you, or your taste in music.

This person lists out some low level pop bands and then presumes to have enough musical knowledge authority to judge a Pink Floyd album? He's got a lot to learn about music.

Surly_Duff: I do not like you, or your taste in music.

oh come on, i'm sure you can find some common ground: how do each of you feel about the new kid rock song "warrior" featuring mr. dale earnhart jr.?

I agree with submitter.

Calling Radiohead "great artists" makes me stabby.

please watch this and tell me they aren't great artists. (new window) there's no accounting for taste, but objectively, they are great artists.

SchlingFocker: I agree with submitter.

Calling Radiohead "great artists" makes me stabby.

Well, ignoring that art can be great from an objective standpoint with an appreciation for obvious talent just because you don't like it personally makes you all retardedy.

WaltzingMathilda: Well, ignoring that art can be great from an objective standpoint with an appreciation for obvious talent just because you don't like it personally makes you all retardedy.

learn to type faster, jerk. almost a simulpost.

thomps: please watch this and tell me they aren't great artists. (new window) there's no accounting for taste, but objectively, they are great artists.

Crap. Complete crap.

Crap sound doesn't stop being crap sound just because you throw enough of it together and throw in some sound effects from Hannah Barbara cartoons.

Vocals are complete shiat.

Well, it's got nothing on the artistic merit of Ben Stiller movies, that's for sure. You win.

Is this today's Radiohead thread, or should I wait for one more directly related before I state some sort of polarized opinion on the band.

Radiohead could create an album while drunk and sleep deprived that would still have more substance and creativity than 95% of the crap that is released.

*shrug*
again you are confusing personal tastes with artistic ability. i don't like a lot of what jackson pollock did, but i acknowledge that he was a seminal artist.

WaltzingMathilda: Well, ignoring that art can be great from an objective standpoint with an appreciation for obvious talent just because you don't like it personally makes you all retardedy.

Well, the artist who filled 40 tin cans with his own shiat and put it on display has obvious talent. If you can't appreciate that obvious talent just because you don't like it personally makes you all retardedly.

NikolaiFarkoff: Is this today's Radiohead thread, or should I wait for one more directly related before I state some sort of polarized opinion on the band.

well, valdes hasn't shown up yet, so this must not be the place.

thomps: again you are confusing personal tastes with artistic ability.

They're mediocre, at best, with their instruments. You pick the instruments out individually, and they sound fair. They try to disguise their mediocrity by throwing a whole shiatload of sounds together, and it ends up sounding like an 80s space cartoon.

Their singer has a crap voice, no stage presence, and no range.

Saying that a group is objectively talented requires more than just your assertion that it's true. You need to provide the objective data that proves they're talented.

Chearl: Radiohead I could create an album while drunk and sleep deprived that would still have more substance and creativity than 95% of the crap that is released.
