Radiohead

i love radiohead. i'd have to say my favorite album is pablo honey and all of the others pretty close behind. some of the best most ingenius song writing of our time. have you listened to towering above the rest? it blew me away. shows the diversity and talent of the band very well. id recommend it.

and i dont get the muse comparison. well, i do, but i dont really like the muse.

 

Not necessarily. The similarity between the bands are mainly the vocals. And they both play rock music. Normally I don't harp on these things...I don't think Eddie Veddar sounds like Scott Weiland for instance...I don't think Thom Yorke sounds like Bono. Matt Bellamy sounds way too much like Thom Yorke. He is clearly imitating Thom Yorke.

If you know Radiohead well enough to know their later era songs of course you won't make that mistake. But if you went up to...my mom, for instance, with that mix tape I mentioned, and said, "This is Radiohead..."...no questions asked. And I'm pretty sure the same would go for anyone who hadn't heard either band before. But every song on the Bends is better than any song Muse has ever written.

 

Muse are just a tad too fake and dramatic for me. and they don't really say nearly as much as radiohead do about life, politics, society etc. It annoys me that muse and radiohead are compared because muse are much worse.

Sigur Ros are awesome, but theyd be better if I could understand hopelandish.

 

agreed.

 

I saw them in Radio City Music Hall on the OK COMPUTER TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

It is in my top 5 concerts of all time. I've never seen a venue fit material that well though. Radio City was definately intimate enough for the emotion of Thom Yorks lyrics and large enough for guitar distortion at any moment.

 

Hey koop, I saw that one too in the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Australia which was a pretty bad venue, but it was radiohead so i loved it. They started playing creep and then stopped playing it as soon as the crowd got all excited and walked off the stage for 5 minutes. I liked that a lot

 

Yeah, radiohead -was- phenomenal...but, well, I think they are kinda losing a bit of their quality and ingenuity to be honest.

 

they are just moving from organic garage rock to experimental electronic fusion sound. I rather enjoy them in all incarnations but did prefer the original sound. Kid A was where they first started leaning in that direction, and I wasn't a big fan of that album. Gotta admit though, hail to the theif was a solid album for the electro rock sound.

 

hail to the theif was a real hit or miss album for me...i havent listened to it in a long time.

 

I pretty much hated Kid A, really liked Amnesiac and I think Hail To The Theif was boring as shit.

 

I have been a huge fan of radiohead since late 03 when i first came across My Iron Lung and got hooked from then on. As musically talented as Muse is, they are in fact a bit to over dramatic and at least in my opinion a bit repetitive. Radiohead dosent give you that. And as for Sigor Ros, Untitled 8 on the ( ) album, is the most amazing shit to listen to on max volume... if you havent tried it then its just hard to explain, better herd than said.

Back to radiohead, their experimentation and development towards other areas of rock is what makes them an all time favorite. The more you get into each individual album the more you start to love each one for its own unique style that seperates that album from all the others.

Radiohead is insane.

 

Completely true.

And that's why I can't wait to hear their next album. Thom Yorke has said it's going to be completely different from what they've done before, and I can't wait for this new surprise!

I hope they'll also come to Belgium. I've never seen them live and I really hate that! So...let's hope I'll get the chance to finally see them!

 

I wonder about anyone that says muse are better than radiohead. I don't think muse delivers the variety and the social commentary.

I thought Hail to the Thief was pretty boring when it came out, I was dissapointed until I listened to it about a year ago and got hooked. Its a great album and I like every song. OK Computer will always be my fave though for sentimental reasons.

 

i loooove their song "karma police". i get so lost in their dreamy music...beautiful band.

 

I think it is crazy when that happens. Sometimes it just takes a really long time to get into something...like one song has to open you up to the sound and then the rest of the album falls in line.

I actually dig Kid A, but not better than Amnesiac. OK Computer however takes it for me for sure. I remember buyin that album the day it came out and reading a review in Spin, calling them the next 'Pink Flyod'. The best line in there described York as a 'shattered little prince' or something. Man first time listening to that album tripping.....it just got silly.

 

I remember my teacher saying at school that out of all the reading he has done that OK Computer is hailed as one of the best albums of all time. I can imagine young adults like me going into alternative music stores in 20-30 years time and buying OK Computer - It would be for them what Dark Side of the Moon has been for me!

 

Yep i really like Radiohead's sound

 

I love Radiohead more than any other modern band. They are the hope of music today. Not since the Beatles has each new album been so anticipated.


My favorite songs by them are:

Fake Plastic Trees
Just
My Iron Lung
Paranoid Android
Subterranean Homsick Alien
Let Down
Karma Police
No Suprises
Everything in Right Place
How to Disappear Completly (beautiful, like a song from Pink Floyd the Wall)
Pyramid Song
You and Whose Army (this song kicks major rear-end!)
Like Spinning Plates
Life in A Glasshouse
Backdrifts
Go To Sleep
There There
I Will
Scatterbrained

Cant wait for the new album!
