103. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead 1995

In 1995 every time you went to someones house for dinner they would be playing The Bends by Radiohead. Dropping into a friend's house for a drink you would get The Bends. Slowly it spread like a virus through the inner suburbs. After Creep Radiohead were kind of dismissed because of their average debut album. Now they were omnipresent.
The night I fell in love with Radiohead. My girlfriend at the time was living with Lee S. She was living in Elwood. It was a hot night and we were having a few drinks. Lee put on the Bends. Four songs in this song came on. It was such a new sound. It took my breath away. Of course before that came High and Dry.
Those two songs were enough for me. I was a fan. from then until Kid A I tracked down every single to collect all their B-sides. Went Napster was big I found tons of rare stuff.
Then they got a little bit too clever.

 It just builds and builds. Fantastic song.
