"The Bends" received greater acclaim than "Pablo Honey", elevating the band from an "indie one-hit-wonder" into one of the most recognised British rock bands, and being nominated for Best British Album at the 1996 Brit Awards. It is credited for influencing a generation of post-Britpop acts, and is frequently regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time; it was voted number 2 in Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums" 3rd Edition (2000) and ranked number 110 on "Rolling Stone"'s 500 greatest albums of all time.
