Pink Floyd Bracket: High & Dry (2) v. How Do You? (15)
High & Dry
The Bends (2)If you thought Thom was melancholy before! Sacre bleu. I always felt this song was the one that ensured Radiohead would have its mainstream fanbase. A simple, yet beautiful song that underscores the band's predilection for breaking up even in the simplest songs with a little rawk.
"All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love."
VS
How Do You?
Pablo Honey (15)Here's Thom employing the bratty vocal effect that pretty much disappeared by The Bends. One of the few Radiohead songs that could be categorized as angry (though many could be also tagged "indignant"). A short song, but it nonetheless, upon revisiting, shows glimpses of the future with an odd piano tromp and guitar hysterics.
