It was, is and will alway be Street Spirit for me.
That's the song that got me into Radiohead and it's one of
my fav songs from any band ever.
The rest of the bends is more than good too, but that one
stands out for me.

Fake Plastic Trees is a close second.

My Iron Lung doesn't do much for me.
Just is a good track too,along with The Bends(the track)

has that one got the track with that piano loop and the
beats come in in the wierdest place but it locks together
really well? i think it was in a slightly odd time sig.
sorry only heard it once but it sounded good. just starts
with piano chords...

"Just" at the moment.
I've been a fan of radiohead's older stuff for some years
now, but didn't buy "The bends" until last week.
It was worth the cash...
OK Computer is still my fav Radiohead album though. Haven't
listened much to their new stuff though.

the whole album is good. 'my iron lung' is the song that
first caught my attention, but every other one has grown on
me :-) I love this album... i just love it!

But however, there is one song that stands out head and
shoulders above the rest (and above anything else
radiohead's ever done)... Fade Out (Street Spirit), probably
my favourite song ever. It's just so beautiful... depressing
in the most amazing way. I can't believe Thom himself wasn't
happy with the vocals (!)... they are so intense!

And to mention another great bends-song that hasn't been
named before: Planet Telex :-D Awesome openingsong!

"just" is a good song, but i find it doesn't quite fit in
THE BENDS. but that's just me

the bends is one of my favourite songs ever, but im biased
by the emotional baggage it has for me.

i like all of the songs. street spirit is special but all in
all all the songs on bends kick ass. every single song on
that album has something.

the video for 'paranoid android' was my exposure to
radiohead.

jumping outside the bounds of 'the bends' i'm gonna hafta
vouch for "life in a glasshouse" offa amnesiac. that song
just...rules.

was that not allowed? hmm. i'll vote for planet telex.

also, the video for street spirit has to be one of the best,
if not THE best video ever created, it works so well with
the song and the editing is amazing.

classic albums... it was a glowing review to say the least,
5 stars...

High and Dry chords remend me of Tracy Chapman-ish chords.

It really touches me.It sounds so familiar.....
