Can't really argue with you too much on The Bends PaSnow. Quite often I think it's my favorite Radiohead album as well. Song for song it is probably their best. I just find Pablo seems to flow a bit better as an album. If I made this list last or next week The Bends would likely be on it haha. As for Soul Asylum they had another great album in 1990 called And the Horse they Rode in on. Not many people ever heard it though cause they werent' popular then but  there was a time I liked that album better. Grave Dancer's was like a  soundtrack to grade 11 though.  Certain albums trigger memories and it seems the fall of 1992 was all about Soul Asylum. Everyone had that album and you couldn't help but hear it. It's a great album but it gets huge bonus points from me for it's nostalgia factor as well. Their follow up to GDU, Let Your Dim Light Shine was great too in my opinion.

That's not what "No, not that I know of"  implies at all Elmir. It's simply a  figure of speech. Kind of like a  joke. You gotta say it and hear it properly.  I don't  know how to explain it.  If somone asked you if you were gay and you said "not that I know of" does that implie if a gay guy hit on you you'd maybe consider it? haha. bad analogy but I think I make my point.

Plus if Axl was such a  great friend maybe he should support the idea of Baz singing for VR. It'd be nothing but good things for Baz and his career I'm sure. But that would mean Baz couldn't be Axl's PR tool. His door mat basically.  The whole text message thing is weird too. Was Axl asking Baz if he is joining VR in a  way that would suggest "If you value our friendship you'd think twice about it" That's not friendship.  Fuck if Axl was any kind of friend he'd have helped promote Baz's album. Say something. say yeah I sang on it, Baz is great,  the album rocks blah blah blah, but Axl does nothing.  It really seems like  a one sided friendship to me. It's like the "nerd" bending over backwards to be friends with the "cool kid" yet they aren't really friend's. The "cool kid" simply let's the "nerd" hang around.  Then again who a I too speculate on their alleged friendship.

That wasn't even the best Radiohead album. In fact it's not even the 2nd best Radiohead album of the 90's. 

haha! Only once Robert wanted to retire. But the feeling in the studio when recording Bloodflowers was too great and the band was too tight. He couldnt' see stopping when they were still so good. Thank God.

And yeah Depeche Mode released Playing the Angel a few years ago.

I agree. That's exactly who I thought of right away.

And I'd disagree that the Cure was an excellent answer. haha sorry Neemo. But the Cure is Robert Smith and whoever chooses or he chooses to work with him at any given time. The Cure never stopped and has toured and released albums consistently their(his) entire career(2 soon to be 3 this decade).  Robert was never on any self imposed exile or anything like that and he works with former bandmates quite regularly. Haha I'm just ranting here but I didn't see any simliarities to the Cure and the description given other than the band is touring without a  new album for now(but it's coming). The Smiths though is bang on I think.

On a side note I'm going to see the Cure next Wednesday at Red Rocks in Colorado. Holy shit am I ever pumped!!!:mosh:
