Ed O'Brien thinks Radiohead buried “Lift” because it could have been their Jagged Little Pill.
First played at the Troubadour on 14 March 1996, it was lined up as the album's first single, Nigel Godrich has said. On 6 Music on 3 May 2017 O'Brien said they subconsciously killed it: if OK Computer had been like Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, it would have killed them. The 1996 recording came out on OKNOTOK.
