Both considered to be rubbish, largely. But which one is the best of these two, after all?

Voting "Pablo Honey" because, at least, it has "Creep" on it, and that song is better than its reputation.

It's hard for me to listen to the entirety of either album.

In a world of Pitchfork, I can't trust any music critics

"blow out" > the king of limbs > the rest of pablo honey

holy shit i completely forgot that radiohead had a new album out even though i've heard it twice

― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 22:58 (fourteen years ago)

King of Limbs and Kid A are the only Radiohead albums I've heard that I've liked.

pablo honey is a perfectly cromulent album

― final ritchie (electricsound), Thursday, 28 April 2011 02:37 (fourteen years ago)

i still feel like i should own The King Of Limbs, don't feel the same way about the debut however.

Hah! I really like "Pablo Honey" in and of itself. It's a nice indie-rock album and "Creep" bowled me over at the time. The single are all solid, too. But it's unfair to compare something brand-new and not assimilated to something that's had almost 20 years to fester in the mind.

it's fair if you have always hated the 20 year old album

― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Friday, 29 April 2011 21:33 (fourteen years ago)

I mean, by this point I think I've listened to KOL in its entirety more times than PH

― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Friday, 29 April 2011 21:33 (fourteen years ago)

this would be more fair if the title of The King Of Limbs was also a Jerky Boys reference

― hong does your geirden gro (some dude), Friday, 29 April 2011 21:36 (fourteen years ago)

~~King of Limbs and Kid A are~~ Pablo Honey is the only Radiohead albums I've heard that I've liked.

So, that.

Neither are "rubbish."

― billstevejim, Saturday, 30 April 2011 04:09 (fourteen years ago)

Pablo Honey.

Hell, the first half of Pablo Honey alone > King of Limbs

― jer.fairall, Saturday, 30 April 2011 04:53 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, Pablo wins. Anyone Can Play Guitar, Blow-Out, Creep, How Do You? are all pretty decent songs. I couldn't name a single TKOL song a year from now.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm already not sure I could do this. Pablo Honey was decent, KOL was about as bad as the other KOL (kings of leon)

Pablo Honey, while crap, has some long-lost charm and ambition
