Title: aaaahhhg!!
Post by: imapiratearg on 08 Mar 2007, 20:16
Radiohead.  Why did i just start liking them?  My friend randomly showed me some, and i though "Why didn't i like them before?"  I think i had the wrong idea of what they were like in my mind?  Maybe.

One of my favourite bands, but not well loved on here.

Really?  I thought it was just Khar who doesn't like them.  Paranoid Android is truly a great song.

Yeah.  It's weird.

'Paranoid Android' only works when I'm playing it solo on piano. It's great.

I thought five of the songs on 'Hail to the Thief' were superb.
Pity about the rest really.
QFT.

Kid A and OK Computer are my hands down favourites, though I find myself liking the former a lot more. I anticipate that this view will probably be echoed.

Wait, when did this place start being reasonable about Radiohead? Hot damn. I'm with Tommy on that there were some dang good songs on Hail to the Thief, but there were more pretty shit ones. We are probably not thinking about the same songs though. Wolf at the Door is a great song to howl along to, drunk, in the wee hours of the morning.

I think Thief is worth it just for 'There, There.' One of their best songs.

They're a bad band my no means, however, I rarely ever want to listen to them. I guess they are sometimes a bit boring for me.

Radiohead is a band that has always and will always be one of my favorites. But I literally never listen to them. When they release a new album, I froth at the mouth and devour it before filing it away and promptly never listening to it again.

I was the same way when I bought Pink Floyd albums, so I think it's just a symptom of 'big, serious, art rock' from the UK. And for the record, Radiohead are art rock in my book.

OK Computer is an amazing album.  my 2 cents.

This is true for me... Like, I really like Radiohead, but I never listen to em. I might have a go today.

I really like Hail To The Thief, but I over listened to it and hardly ever put it on now. It does tend to be music you study more than just listen for pure pleasure I think. Its good to see that not everyone on here thinks that all music from the UK is a waste of space :-).

I absolutely love Kid A and OK Computer. I think Radiohead is a band that you need to listen to originally in a particular state of mind. The first time I heard OK Computer, I thought it was absolute crap. The next day while I was in a different type of mood and looking at things differently I gave it another try and instantly fell in love.

Yep I pretty much oscillate between these two as my favourites. Amnesiac is a close-run third place, mind. I love the weirder stuff.

Pablo Honey and Hail To The Thief have maybe a handful of decent songs between 'em but the other CDs are genius.

I've been a massive fan for years but recently I find myself liking the Easy Star All Stars 'Radiodread' album better than the original OK Computer :? 'tis fuckin' amazing.

That's okay, the dude from Phantom Planet and some DJ collaborated on a cover of Radiohead's "Just" for a covers record that's awesomer than the original. It's funky.

Yeah, all the others were driven away by the putrid smell of inspidly awful music.

I like some stuff off of The Bends.  Mostly because i'm a sucker for anything with an acoustic in it.

Dang man I meant to say "doesn't like them."  I will change that.  Sorry.
