Ed O'Brien thinks Radiohead buried “Lift” because it would have made OK Computer a hit.

First played at the Troubadour in West Hollywood 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 a Jagged Little Pill of their own would have killed them. The 1996 recording finally came out on OKNOTOK.
