    OMG I forgot how amazing this album is....bought it in '96 or whenever it was it came out, we used to cover a couple of their songs in the band I was in at the time.

    Anyway stuck the CD on this morning and it's definately got to be one of my all time top 10 albums. :thumbup:

    Would still love to see them live!

    I thought I was the only one who thought that, glad to know there's others who agree. Such a shame, the bends and ok computer are 2 of the best albums i own

    It takes some time to get into.. IMO OK Computer is their weakest album (Still good, though) they went a bit more abstract after that, but I repsect them for it.
    Think of how many other bands have got as close to mainstream success as they did with OK computer, only to bow down and start producing watered down, chart pleasing gash [xx(]

    Have a listen to some of their later stuff like "Dollars and Cents", "Pyramid Song" and "There there"..

    And if you don't like the un-nerving but strangely warm and comforting strains of "Everything in it's right place" then there's something wrong with you ;)
