Which of these transition albums do you like the most, i find both albums having absolutly delicate chords and chord changes, which is the most defaining trait between those two albums and bands, delicate chord changes, of both original nature, and untraditional, smooth and yet so well done you get chills. -------------

Color for me, I have tried but just can't get into Radiohead despite repeated tries. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

I'm biased towards Talk Talk. Loved them from the beginning, and through all their evolution. While I enjoy OK Computer, I just don't have much of a relationship with it, if that makes sense. It just doesn't quite speak to me, though it is a sonically adventurous album, and "Paranoid Android" really impressed me at the time.

OK Computer.
It wasn't until the Spirit of Eden was released that Talk Talk really took off for me - and is now a firm favourite along with Laughing Stock. |

I dig individual tunes off of Radiohead albums - stuff like The Pyramid Song, Paranoid Android and the more experimental bits from Hail to the Thief. When faced with a full album I flee.
Talk Talk on the other hand makes me a happy bunny. This album is actually my fave - even surpassing the two subsequent "landmark" releases (although truth be told: it wasn't until much later these fruitful years of Talk Talk got the praise they deserved). This one is perhaps more 'pop' orientated if you merely look at song length, but there is something experimental and at the same time incredibly ethereal and smooth going down. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

OK Computer. If you mentioned Spirit of Eden or Laughing it might be close for me, but OK Computer is a dear album to me. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

I think their "fame" started, or at the very least acknowledgement came about with the rise of post-rock too - especially the sticker. Back when people started using the internet to hunt down music and compare notes. I was a wee teen at the time, so I can't remember any of it though.

Colour is my favorite Talk Talk ......for some reason as others have said above I could never get into Radiohead and not for lack of trying. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

OK Computer. If this were Spirit of Eden or Laughing Stock, then I'd probably vote differently. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

OK Computer. Thom Yorke channels emotions on this album that I never heard any other singer get at. I can't even properly articulate it, the emotion he's expressing in his voice. Utterly original, though.
I do love Talk Talk though. But I didn't live and breathe it, like I did Radiohead for several years. Interesting to contrast the two: Radiohead had an immediate impact, while Talk Talk didn't really get "discovered" till well after they were over. Their influence was felt on the next generation, particularly the orchestral production style, which was picked up and popularized by the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Grandaddy and a few others. The popularity of these acts - plus the fact that they namechecked Talk Talk as a big influence - was what brought the world's attention to this ignored & long forgotten-about band. Radiohead too was clearly influenced by Talk Talk.

Radiohead, OK Computer.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
