Maybe the last Radiohead album that i discovered, and it wasn't my favorite at the time, but i found out that each song is a master piece, especially Climbing Up The Walls

I can't believe how there are so few people who know that band... This album is just amazing. It's true that Hotel California has a great 2-guitar solo, but listen to the song Marquee Moon, its solo is awesome. Favorite songs : Marquee Moon, See no Evil
