Quick Facts:
• Debut Studio Album released February 1993, peaked at #22 on UK Album Chart
• Although Pablo Honey was not met with the critical fervor that Radiohead's later albums were, it has received praise in retrospective coverage. In 1998, a Virgin poll voted it 100th in the all-time top 1000 albums, Q magazine readers voted it the 61st greatest album of all time.

The album is often held in a negative light in comparison to the band's subsequent studio albums, although some retrospective reviews have been positive.

Radiohead enlisted Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade, who had worked with US indie bands Pixies and Dinosaur Jr., to produce their debut album. Recording sessions were completed very quickly, as the band had been playing many of these songs for years. The album title comes from a prank call skit by the Jerky Boys, in which the caller poses as the victim's mother and says: "Pablo, honey? Please come to Florida."

1. You – Seems to be about people blindly following others (especially higher-ups) and how it may lead to society’s end.

2. Creep (music composed by Radiohead, Mike Hazlewood and Albert Hammond) – Was not initially a chart success, but became a worldwide hit after being re-released in 1993. Remains their most successful single but they grew weary of the song in later years, and refused to perform it for some time. According to Colin Greenwood, Thom wrote it while studying at Exeter University in the late 1980s. Jonny Greenwood said the song was inspired by a girl that Yorke had followed around and who unexpectedly attended a Radiohead performance.

3. How Do You? – This track differs from the others; whereas most of the album falls under alternative rock and post-grunge, this track is very grunge styling, and Thom’s voice is exaggerated to fit this description.

4. Stop Whispering – Released as single in 1993, #23 on US Modern Rock Tracks chart, Written as tribute to the Pixies.

5. Thinking About You – Lyrics tell a story about insecurity, desperation.. She is gone and with someone else and her memories are still all around and he misses her but there is also bitterness from the break-up.

6. Anyone Can Play Guitar – Single released just in advance of the album #32 in UK. In this song Yorke heaps scorn on desperate wannabes who seek validation via rock stardom. Mentions Jim Morrison

7. Ripcord – Describes the suddenness of reaching adulthood and how unprepared he is for it, comparing it to jumping out of a plane with no parachute. This song revolves around the analogy that going into adulthood is like falling out of a plane with no ripcord – no way to stop yourself from falling or slowing the speed of the drop.

8. Vegetable –

9. Prove Yourself – About doing nothing with your life.

10. I Can't – Has a theme of low self-esteem which is also followed up on the next song in the album, “Lurgee”. Both songs feature a theme of doubt. While “Lurgee” doesn’t as strongly depict doubt, it has stronger themes of self-depreciation.

11. Lurgee –This is a song about dread itself, a soul sickness, a disease of modernity.

12. Blow Out - about Thom Yorke’s issues with low self-esteem. The song also features several references to Greek mythology, one being Achilles and another being Medusa.
