I just can't hear a comparison between the two. Paranoid Android is almost prog rock - changes in time signature, acoustic to heavy guitar and a choral ending. Happiness is Lennon songwriting at it's worst - turgid mediocrity. Having said all that the Bends is a better album than OK ComputerI also agree with the Radiohead and OK Computer comments. "Paranoid Android" is considered one of the best songs, yet is a second-rate "Happiness is a Warm Gun" rip-off.
It's an Excel spreadsheet so you should just be able to scroll up?
Here you go, link to the site insteadIt's telling me that I need Office to open it. I assumed it was a link to an article.
Yeah you're right.
However, I think I was trying to push the point that it's underrated locally.
Like I say, the Gallagher's etc get far more recognition for some bizarre reason. I rarely here anyone refer to Unknown Pleasures as a top album yet any old gash put out by anyone who's associated with Oasis or the Stone Roses get god like status locally.
I know from your posts that you really like the Gallagher's so no offence intended.
Beatles
Revolver I've always thought was their best.
Pepper would've been best had it had the 2 tracks it was supposed to have had
Namely, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane
Vespertine by Bjork is probably my most underrated album. I think Unison is the best think she's ever written.
I finally 'get' Paranoid Android, it's all about the hip shaking samba at the beginning. The Bends is a special album I dare not listen to because it had a very powerful effect on me once. The reissue of OK Computer.....it really hasn't aged well for me. It seems pretty cynical and depressing for the sake of it, a bit hamfisted in retrospect. I reckon Kid A has aged well, there is much more nuance to the lyrics, and some crazy stuff in the arrangements that I've only just grasped. In Rainbows I like less now than I did at the time. Hail To The Theif has some great, great tracks, but is not quite up there. It is hampered by being a statement album. I have come to love King Of Limbs very much for reasons that are hard to explain....and In A Moon Shaped Pool has a series of absolute stunners. Having listened to the discography repeatedly, I'm struck by how much Thom's vocals have developed.Paranoid Android is almost prog rock - changes in time signature, acoustic to heavy guitar and a choral ending.....Having said all that the Bends is a better album than OK Computer
Just shows you what a joke these lists are, they have that pile of self obsessed shite from Lennon in the top 60 or something and Aja at 327Aja all the way down at #327 is a fracking joke. Amazing album of jazz rock that was rightly put into the US Library of Congress National Recording Registry. Ranked about 300 spots too low if you ask me.
ok computer, i'm in a minority but just don't get it
