Radiohead - The Bends (1995)

The Bends - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T32L7G3E

Radiohead had something to prove with their sophomore release, The Bends. Overshadowed by the success of the song, "Creep", from their first album Pablo Honey, the guys from Oxford wanted to prove that they were more than a one hit wonder. They did that and more with The Bends. They proved that the were legitimate rockstars and artists. This album's three guitar attack hits you immediately with the opening song "Planet Telex" and shows no slowing down with the second track, the anthem "The Bends". Slower songs like "Fake Plastic Trees" and "High and Dry" give the album balance. This truly is a great album.

Favorite Tracks: The Bends, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, Street Spirit (Fade Out)
