No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Yep or Pablo Honey

I don’t really know how to go backwards with their music but OK Computer brought along the rest of the world who didn’t already love them.

These ain't your father's A's.

by ohtobe21likehuston on Sep 29, 2009 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I started with The Bends.

It’s a fantastic alt-rock album, better than Pablo Honey, yet accessible. OK Computer twisted it and took it in a new direction that made it even more awesome. One of the greatest albums of all time kind of awesome.

Then, yeah, I'd recommend starting with their early stuff.

The Bends or OK Computer. Anything after that is going to be heavily laced with electronica and pretty inaccessible.
