Pablo Honey

The debut album by English rock band Radiohead released in 1993. It is generally ignored in favour of some of their later releases, but the fact remains that this album serves as an exceptional debut. It initially received little to no critical acclaim, though it was commercially successful by way of the radio-ready single "Creep," which became an international mega-hit. Despite it being largely ignored, Pablo Honey is full of several great tracks including the album opener "You," the super-hit "Creep," and the psychedelic closer "Blow Out," not to mention songs that will remain stuck in your head for days such as "Stop Whispering" and "Anyone Can Play Guitar." Pablo Honey should be reevaluated not as a world-changing manifesto, but as an entirely unimpeachable rock record with clear influence from U2, Pixies, the Smiths, and R.E.M.
