The Bends is an underrated masterpiece; not as well-received by critics or loved by fans as OK Computer, Kid A or even In Rainbows but it's probably my favourite album of theirs...just! (No pun intended! 😁)

The Bends is far and away my favorite Radiohead album. It was a huge evolution from the first album but not as electronic and experimental as everything after it, which can be hit or miss for me. I like every track on The Bends.

"Exit Music for a Film" will rip your heart out, if you know your Romeo and Juliet. Trust me. English teachers should make it required listening. In the 1980s, when I was in college, I had a music professor ask me "what music of today will still be around in 200 years?" I have a few different answers to that question, but just about the top of my list is Radiohead - which came along many years later, of course. "High and Dry" is an early Radiohead song, like listening to Beethoven's first piano concerto, or Wagner's first opera. Things get really deep, really fast, in their subsequent albums and songs. I think "Exit Music for a Film" will give you precisely that depth, but in an accessible way.

Thomas Yourke, who has faced years of serious drug addition in Radioheads early years, wrote this song about using drugs........... Two jumps is two times shooting up (heroin). The broke another mirror refers to the drug paraphernalia. When the body is wrecked from drugs you can't make love. Dont leave me high is self explanatory and dont leave me dry means, dont leave me when Im not using (dried out) and fighting addiction. Love you guys show, hope this explains the lyrics better.

You’ve found Radiohead’s music from their record The Bends. You must, must, must listen to “Just”. A very different tone and an intriguing thought provoking video. Radiohead is very ‘ artsy’ Amber and they put enormous effort into making an incredible package for the MTV video age. Acoustically and visually they were something new in the post grunge mid-90’s. Songs you should react to (beyond ‘Just’)… Fake Plastic Trees, My Iron Lung, Bulletproof…I wish I was, Street Spirit Fade Out. Amazing tracks on this record. You can begin to hear the sonic threads of musical experimentation that wove more closely on their 1997 record ‘OK Computer’ and became whole cloth with the ‘Kid A’ , ‘Amnesiac’ records and their subsequent musically adventurous work through the 2000’s to the present. These guys from Oxford are truly one of last “bands that mattered” in the alternative/rock world!

Their styles are so diverse, evolving and experimenting over 30 years. 5 of 9 albums have appeared on the Rolling Stone top 500, taken with a grain of salt of course, but still a testament to what kind of band they are. I'd love to see you react to something later into their career, "House of Cards" off one their 3 massive historic albums, "In Rainbows" (the other 2 being "OK Computer" and Kid A" - all of which sound SO different but are the genuine article, master works.) They have fantastic music videos, but the very best way to experience them is via the "Live From the Basement" sessions which seem to not get blocked, and really capture the band at their height.

Radiohead could have chosen confort but their were an experimental group and as the same time, they had huge success, a success they really never wanted that much. They even missed the hall of fame title for best rock bands (they sent one member maybe) All movies late 90's or 2000's wanted radiohead. Check vanilly Sky for instance or Lucky but the list is so long. There are simply unique and they did what a legendary band should do. They brought something new like greats before them did.
