From Caroline Mask: It should come as no surprise that I would choose a Radiohead album for my episode but The Bends might be a bit unexpected.  While not my favorite Radiohead record, it was my introduction in the fall of 1995 to one of my top three favorite bands of all time and one which I still consider one of the most groundbreaking sophomore records ever.  It was Radiohead starting to dig their heels in and realize that they could and would reinvent themselves with every record they made.  Sulk and Black Star are my favorites.  I have loved so many people in my life through this band and a live Radiohead show is the closest thing to a spiritual experience I will ever have.  Just the best.
