The only song on ''Pablo Honey'' that bears a resemblance to what Radiohead would become better known for is the closing track, "Blow Out", which the band as a whole consider to be its' high point (it's the only song from the album besides "Creep" that has been performed live since 2003).
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: To this day the album has no [[https://www.riaa.com/resources-learning/pal-standards/ Parental Advisory]] sticker on it, despite being widely distributed AND bearing an incredibly famous and explicit lead single.

''Pablo Honey'' was supported by three singles: "Creep", "Anyone Can Play Guitar", and "Stop Whispering".
