"Bones" by Radiohead

English band Radiohead burst onto the music scene in 1993 with their impressive debut record, "Pablo Honey." The record was powered by the instant popularity of the single "Creep," which remains the band's best chart performance although it surprisingly only reached #34. Many more great tunes are on the record that didn't chart, like "Stop Whispering" and "Thinking About You."

Far from a sophomore jinx, their 1995 follow-up record, "The Bends," was masterful, and is my personal pick for best record of that year. Filled with an amazing batch of consistently terrific songs, it is astonishing that it didn't yield more than the modest chart success of "Fake Plastic Trees" and "High & Dry," which landed at #65 and #78, respectively. "The Bends" is easily the most melodic and radio-friendly work Radiohead has done in their illustrious career.

After "The Bends," 1997's "OK Computer" marked the beginning of the band's transition into more experimental territory. Foregoing melody and conventional sounds excited some, but honestly, they lost me. Aside from "Karma Police," which went to #69, none of the tracks found a home on the charts. The band would resurface on the charts in 2008, when "Nude" gave them their second biggest hit, reaching #37.

Among the many tracks on "The Bends" that should have seen chart action, here is the marvelous "Bones."
