1. Thom YorkeThe Eraser
Guys in bands making solo albums… I’ve never been a Radiohead listener (people stare in disbelief) because I got off to a bad start – that ‘Creep’ song took some getting over back in the day. I know one day I will listen intently to Kid A and probably love it. It was the same with Dark Side Of The Moon, it took decades to get over my prejudice – too many parties in my youth killed by dope-smoking hippies turning off the lights and playing stuff like that when I just wanted to dance with the girls. It wasn’t Pink Floyd’s fault and in the end it wasn’t Radiohead’s, but it’s hard to succumb to a world full of people telling you you gotta listen to something. Anyway, my first solo album was made around the same time as Thom made this and I was curious. I loved it and still do. If I ever get into a Radiohead conversation with one of their many fans, I always mention my love for this album. They stare back blankly – ‘No, I must have missed that one’.
