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, ...

That part. Plus, I feel OK Computer sounds like it's all over the place, especially "Paranoid Android" (where the ideas don't quite jell and there is no breathing room).

OK Computer is a transition album???

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.

Ok Computer by a wide margin for me; by far my fave Radiohead album.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

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.

I remember this very well. The prevailing opinion when "Spirit of Eden" came out was "what the hell are they thinking?" Even I was a little taken aback on first listen. And then when "Laughing Stock" came out, it seemed like they were ironically embracing their "fall from grace" with a proud display of iconoclasm. For me, what they were doing dovetailed nicely with my appreciation for prog, although no one considered them prog at the time. I forget where and when I first heard the term "post-rock", but it was much, much later on, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Talk Talk acknowledged as one of the "pioneers" of this style.

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.
