This album didn't get bad reviews but it's often lost in the shuffle of amazing work Radioheads done. I'm referring to The Bends. It's a great, great rock album. It's the genius of Radiohead in familiar song structures driven by crunchy guitars and piercing vocals. In subsequent albums, the band would experiment with sounds and song structures in a way that no popular band ever has but The Bends remains my personal favorite Radiohead album. I guess it's sort of the opposite of your question though...it's my favorite because it didn't break ground which is why it's largely discarded these days.
