      I might almost consider if we were to pretend OK Computer was their debut, but even that just don’t feel right. I still love most of what they’ve put out since then and they can still kick it on stage.

      This is pure ragebait for a certain (my) demographic and I love it.

        I thought the consensus was that they were like the Beatles, in that they initially made more mainstream songs (that they’re semi-embarrassed of today) in order to have the freedom to make better, more creative music later in their career.

        I have no opinion.

          I’ve viewed it as artistic progression, plain and simple, similar to the Beatles, but I think we’re basically saying the same thing.

          I kind of split the Beatles into before and after Revolver. Revolver is a truly brilliant album that also acts as a nice bridge between the two major eras that I think of the Beatles run. Their Beatle-Mania Pop Sensation era culminating (masterfully) in Rubber Soul on one side, their Concept era on the other. And Revolver an era unto itself; the Beatles Fully Embrace Getting Weird era.

          I feel like OK computer represents a similar point in Radiohead’s artistry to Revolver.

          But in both cases, I think these are more milestones in their artistic ability than an intentional shift leveraging their previous success. But I’m not sure you meant that this was intentional on their part, so I may just be agreeing with your nonopinion in a ruminative meandering way.

          I fuckin loved The Bends though. And while Pablo Honey may not be anything compared to Ok Computer, the track Blowout is soooooo good. They also have a substantial amount of excellent b-sides around their earlier few albums. OK computer was a monster of an album though, no doubt.

          I haven’t really listened to them in years now, lol. Funny how things change…

    Maybe 2 years ago my partner had to explain to me that most people actually prefer milk chocolate, so when i buy dark chocolate as presents it’s not actually appreciated.

    I’ve always preferred dark chocolate because it’s just so obviously better, and presumed everyone else did too. Finding out that most people like worse chocolate was quite a surprise🤷

      Most dark chocolate I’ve had sucks the moisture completely out of my mouth and leaves just bitterness. It’s not an enjoyable experience at all. Cacao percentage plays a role, but anything north of around 75% I can’t stand at all.

        Yeah there’s a big difference between 70 and 80 for sure.

        80+ is still is a ‘sometimes and small amounts’ thing for me, but many 70s and anything <60 taste just as sweet as milk chocolate to me

        Yeah, that’s too much. Try around 50%. I mostly enjoy it cause it’s a lot less sweet. I’m much more sensitive to sweetness than as a kid.

      I love dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, all of it. I don’t get the elitism over a matter of taste.

      Interesting, I’ve been under the impression for a while that most people prefer dark chocolate.

      Here it’s very common to have children like it. Not super young ones (who prefer a pure diet of French fries and ice cream). E.g. Haribo Lakritzschnecken or Drops in the Netherlands.

      …and if you get the super salted one (ie: haribo super pirate coins - are my fav), it’s hard to even call it candy.

      I don’t like black licorice, but I like a few candies that are not very popular among people I know, which leaves more for me!

      • Peeps
      • Candy corn
      • Cadbury cream eggs
      • Sweethearts (Valentines Day)
      • Peppermint bark, although this one isn’t as controversial

    I’m pretty sure this is the real reason my taste for spicy food advanced so far after I became a parent.

    It’s nice to have a snack that the kid won’t loot and empty.

    “First Three Albums” is kind of a mood but personally one of the only Radiohead songs I like was Creep and the band actually hates that song, so yeah.

      I’m a huge fan of Kid A, though I can also accept that experimental music isn’t everyone’s bag.

      Thom Yorke had something of a mental break and made Kid A, which was fueled by a feeling that rock ‘was dead’, just a formulaic and commodified product now.

      I still like Creep, it’s a great-sounding song. I do get why they don’t like it, based on their statements about why they want to leave it behind.

      Yorke told Rolling Stone in 1993: “It’s like it’s not our song any more … It feels like we’re doing a cover.”[13] During Radiohead’s first American tour, audience members would scream for “Creep”, then leave after it was performed.[7] Yorke said the success “gagged” them and almost caused them to break up; they felt they were being judged on a single song.
