Before the breakthrough that was THE BENDS and the colossal OK COMPUTER, there was the quietly magnificent PABLO HONEY. "Creep" was the surprise hit single in the UK, but even that gave scant indication of how special this band would become. Benefiting from a raw production, the debut was undoubtedly less slick and accomplished than subsequent work, although Thom Yorke's vulnerable but impressive vocal styling was already in place on songs such as "Stop Whispering." Many of the compositions were somewhat simplistic, but in terms of musical maturity Radiohead were clearly years ahead of their time. An indispensable album, it should not be parted from its two big brothers.
Recorded at Chipping Norton Studio and Courtyard Studio, Oxon, England.
Engineers: Paul Q. Kolderie, Chris Hufford, Sean Slade.
Radiohead: Thom E. Yorke (vocals, guitar); Ed O'Brien (guitar, background vocals); Jon Greenwood (guitar, piano, organ); Colin Greenwood (bass); Phil Selway (drums).
Producers: Paul Q. Kolderie, Chris Hufford, Sean Slade.
Rolling Stone (p.64) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Amid blustery post-punk and a heavy-breathing acoustic 'Creep' were dystopian fever dreams and catchy Luddite paranoia.."
Entertainment Weekly (5/28/93, p.56) - "...mates Smiths-type self-consciousness with dramatic U2-like vocals and guitar, with Cure-style heavy but crunchy pop..." - Rating: B
Q (4/93, p.86) - 3 Stars - Good - "...British teenagerhood has never been grumpier....the best bits rival Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr. and even the mighty Sugar..."
NME (Magazine) (12/25/93, p.67) - Ranked #35 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...is a throwback to a homegrown tradition of great guitar-band albums...."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t contains their 'biggest' single in 'Creep.' A 12-bar blues jam with added crunch..." Radiohead Pablo Honey Songs Pablo Honey Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)    List All 10 Reviews Pablo Honey is the best CD ever!
Pablo Honey has the best lyrics and music. 'Creep' describes the way people really feel deep down. That song really sticks with you and you'll never forget it once you've heard it.

Hard to define the best
A pesar de ser distintos, "Pablo Honey", "The Bends" y "OK Computer", sería muy aventurado en definir cuál es el mejor álbum de los tres. Todos son para disfrutarlos seguido, en orden de principio a fin. Recuerdo la primera vez que escuché "Creep". No me pareció el tema y no le presté mayor atención a Radiohead (las radios de acá tienen gran culpa) y conseguí el cd, usado, de un amigo que lo tenía en un baúl. Se lo compré y recién descubrí lo que me había perdido tanto tiempo. Todos los temas son poderosos y recomendables. Después de esto, pensé que para por lo menos igualar la calidad de este álbum, el grupo tenía que ser un fuera de serie. Y Radiohead lo hizo con sus discos siguientes...

I admit I only got this cuz of "creep" and wasn't expecting to like the other tracks, but I was so wrong, all the songs are cool in their own way and I love them all. No other band compares to Radiohead because Radiohead is number one!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  not a bad debut for a unique pop band
No need to mention that the standout track of the album is "Creep" and the rest might have a few interseting songs to offer.Pablo Honey dwells mainly in underground rock, whose production may seem raw, somewhat amateurish and at times, disorganised.
Still I recommend it as worth having in the Radiohead collection.

Purchase Pablo Honey CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Radiohead Kid A CD (2000)
Pablo Honey album
 $9.39   
KID A won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. It was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Album Of The Year and Best Engineered Album.
This limited edition of KID A comes as a enlarged digipack book designed by Stanley and Tchock.
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era, especially since Nigel Godrich, the man behind the mixing desk for the previous album, was again on hand for this outing.
On KID A, Thom Yorke's passionate wailing is put through the aural wringer, and the band's previous nimbly orchestrated full-frontal sonic assault is replaced by full-frontal electric piano, to iconoclastic effect. The ambient ...

This second helping from the sessions that produced the preceding KID A will probably strike close listeners as a bit more structured, though it'll be difficult to determine whether that's simply because the peregrinations of the last album have prepared them for the trips to the outer limits taken here.

HAIL TO THE THIEF won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. "There There" was nominated for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Not since the Beatles has a group managed to combine mass popularity and cutting-edge aesthetic triumphs so consistently as Radiohead, who by the time of HAIL TO THE THIEF had been on a roll since 1997's OK COMPUTER (as great as THE BENDS was, it didn't garner the band mainstream attention). While KID A and AMNESIAC had been outre, boundary-pushing attempts to expand the pop-rock palette even beyond the ambitious OK COMPUTER, HAIL TO THE THIEF incorporates the avant-garde techniques developed in that journey, applying them to more formal song structures. In this way, we get the best of both worlds on what just might be Radiohead's best album yet.
Though this isn't a return to the ...
| | Bette Midler Thighs And Whispers CD (1979) Remastered
Pablo Honey music CDs
$8.15
The Divine Miss M's sixth release on Atlantic, and the one right before The Rose, finds the singer reunited with producer Arif Mardin, who contributed to her self-titled second album. Despite Bette Midler being in fine voice for Thighs and Whispers, a play on the title Cries and Whispers, a 1972 offering from film director Ingmar Bergman, and outside of a terrific version of Johnny Bristol's 1974 Top Ten solo hit "Hang on in There Baby," this 1979 disc is stuck in the '70s when an artist of Midler's stature should have made a recording that was her ode to the decade of decadence. The disco beat on most of the album is an irritant years later, though, as stated, Motown producer Johnny Bristol's "Hang on tn There Baby" survives the incessant drum/high hat sound. "Big Noise From Winnetka," sadly, does not, a future anachronism Mardin avoided with former Midler backup singer Melissa Manchester when "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" added rock to the dance vibe three years later in 1982. "Millworker" and "Cradle Days" are more traditional Midler and for that reason they entertain, her strengths are formidable, and here she goes to those areas of power. Where Bette's second album had co-production from Barry Manilow and the third, Songs for the New Depression, from Mark "Moogy" Klingman, Thighs and Whispers would have benefited with more than one vision. The girl group fascination which was a wonderful point of reference for Bette, reprised somewhat on 1977's Live at Last and 1980's Divine Madness, is missing in action here, though high points like the vocal performance on "Cradle Days" work very well. The disco comes back to haunt "My Knight in Black Leather," a song that would have worked better if it had a bit of techno angst as well as more trendy S & M references. As a sappy dancefloor exercise this version should have been an outtake. And that Jerry Ragovoy co-wrote it is the real shocker -- Midler using his "Stay With Me" to wonderful effect in her film The Rose. Bette's own co-write "Hurricane" works as well as Elton John's Victim of Love failed disco experiment -- which is to say it doesn't. Bu

Reginald Dwight may not have been writing chart-busting pop hits immediately after changing his name to Elton John in the late 1960s, but he sure was recording them.
