from a pure singles and 'pop music' effect standpoint, radiohead's earlier work stands out. Creep, High and Dry, My Iron Lung, Fake Plastic Trees...were all more 'single' friendly songs...while OK Computer was very album-based and I thought more catered to the pure fan, rather than the pop charts.
Granted I like all of Thom Yorke's early work too...which was a bit more pop-candyesque....I still like Radioheads' later album too...and I am sure I'll like the new one.
Radiohead is the best reminder we have today of the late 80's early 90's shoegazing era of guitar-heavy, plodding and methodic alternative music...
I miss those days...music is too bubblegum and forgettable now for the most part.
