#75. Radiohead - The Bends (1995)



Radiohead has massive success both in the US and UK with their hit single Creep from the debut album Pablo Honey. This of course led to them being incorrectly labeled one hit wonders, a notion they dispelled quickly on The Bends. This may be the most straightforward guitar rock album by Radiohead, but from the introduction of Planet Telex to the subdued closer Street Spirit (Fade Out) there are traces of what would go on to make Radiohead the greatest band of their era.
