Best album of the 90s? (with bonus Radiohead discussion)

[Musikwala]

Well, I can't debate that. Agree to disagree I guess.

My main point was that something like Kid A was way more electronic than Hail.

Love how this turned into a Radiohead thread. lol

I also would throw Alice in Chains Facelift into my favourite 90s albums. Dirt I do prefer but Facelift is a classic too.

Well, they were a pretty prominent presence in the world of music from around 1993 until the end of the decade (which is most of the 90s) when expectations for the follow-up to the universally acclaimed Ok Computer were sky high!

I liked OK Computer but I enjoyed the albums before it more.

The debut, Pablo Honey was a mixed bag in my opinion. The Bends was my top favourite for the longest time (and sometimes I think it still is!) until I let Ok Computer sink in. Right now I think it is a tussle between Bends and Ok for the top spot in my rankings with Kid A following very closely behind. So yeah, as much as I like their electronic albums as well, the rock still reigns supreme.

AC/DC with the Razors Edge certainly proved they hit a return to form in 1990. That and Ballbreaker are two great albums to come from the 90s.

really while I like a few songs on Pablo Honey I consider it their worst album after King of Limbs. This idea that Radiohead sucks after Ok Computer because they changed to more electronic doesn't fly with me.

I agree. I liked the album after it and they blew from then on. (in my opinion) Its not the fact they changed their sound but the actual results I hated. I like electronics from other bands much better.
Most didn't care for Pablo but I enjoyed it a lot.

Agreed 100%. Pablo is their worst after Limbs.

I do feel though that they haven't topped Bends and Ok as yet. I enjoy everything from Kid A to Rainbows but nothing beats those 2 90s heavyweights!

That's 10 out of the 14 songs on Hail To The Thief. And none of those songs are electronic. They're very much rock.

If anything, Hail was a return to rock.

Still a turd
