For whatever reason, I always thought that albums as critically acclaimed as OKC were ones that were of structural consistency, and the idea of hearing a bunch more songs like "Paranoid Android" was very appealing to me. Having read around, I was given the impression that the parent album to many of the songs I liked, was considered a really, really big deal. My favourite point was when I realised that it had outranked "Creep", which I actually voted for regrettably!Īfter it all boiled down, I started to listen to Radiohead more, growing to discover many songs that I had known but not by a name (seriously, how was "Just" not the smash hit that I thought it was?).
