I still like Pablo Honey but it could be that I was 16ish when it came out and it's the nostalgia, but there's some bad ass rocking going on there that I don't think should be so easily dismissed. Kid-A is amazing, so are all their albums but to me, their best (meaning the one I enjoy listening to the most) is still the Bends.
That makes sense. I still have a soft spot for some of the earlier Blink 182 albums even though i recognize that they're not very good. And i'm not dismissing Pablo Honey. I still do think it has a place in Radiohead's narrative arc. I just don't want to call it amazing. I'd call it a necessary starting point. The Bends is the most thenewgreen-y, haha. That used to be my favorite too, but now i can never decide. Somewhere between Kid A and In Rainbows i guess.
