 Amazon.com: Radiohead Photos More from Radiohead  Hail To The Thief |  The Bends |  Kid A |  OK Computer |  Amnesiac |  I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings | Amazon.com: Before Radiohead became the biggest critics' darling since Pavement or Dr. Dre, they were just another pre-Oasis British band with some loose indie ties, trying to gain some cred. Loopy enough to name this moody, often battering debut album for a Jerky Boys routine, they were also a lot more interesting when they hadn't yet learned the word "soundscape." "Creep," the miserably majestic single they now claim nearly ruined them, may not even be the best thing here; try "Anyone Can Play Guitar," an epitaph for River Phoenix before the fact. --Rickey Wright  Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-05 Best Band Ever
This is the first CD of the best band in the entire universe. Buy it. Buy them all and ascend to the highest level of existence. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-07 Awesome Rockers I've never been much into head bangin' music. But, I heard their song "Creep" on the tv show Rockstar Supernova, and was floored. I bought the CD and love to crank it up. They are real trendsetters in the music business. Rock on!!! Rating:  Date: 2008-06-01 This could be anybody (Actually **1/2, but Amazon doesn't allow half stars.)
Pablo Honey isn't actually a bad album per se. It's just that, in comparison to the rest of their discography, it has two major problems. First, this is the only Radiohead album that could have been recorded by any competent band of their time, place and genre. Apart from the memorable single "Creep," there's nothing unique or special here, which is why "Creep" is the only thing most people know from this album. They're not wrong. Second, only about half the songs are any good. "How Do You?" "I Can't," "Lurgee," and especially the lovely "Stop Whispering" are nice enough, kinda pretty mid-tempo pop rock songs with decent melodies. There's "Creep." And "Anyone Can Play Guitar" is a damn fine, catchy number where you get to hear Thom Yorke yell that he wants to be Jim Morrison (!), which is so funny it makes the whole album worth hearing at least once. But then the rest of it is boring and/or annoying. If Radiohead would have kept writing songs like this they would have been a one-hit wonder and an early-'90s trivia question, but fortunately they got a whole lot better real soon.

However, Anyone can Play Guitar is pretty good, too, and I find myself listening to the whole album, even though it's not the kind of stuff I would normally listen to.
Good CD.. give it a try! Rating:  Date: 2008-02-08 Radiohead CD The music is great. Creep is a phenomenal song with a great hook. It didn't take long to get the CD. Great service |
