your favorite radiohead album

learning new music is like the best thing ever!
i love it when people introduce me to new stuff
i have a very eclectic taste and chances are i'll like anything anyone suggests to me

 

oh, i do. i do.

when i'm away from my own music, and other people have their iPods or laptobs able to play music for all, and they're like "what do you want to listen to?"

i'm always instantly "the chemical bros."

and they're always "don't got any."

and then i am sad.

 

damn dude you have some good taste. i put bmsr and chembros in that other music thread..

well, you are an asshole. or were you just jo_k_ing man?

 

i saw that, i was going to say basically the same thing to you.

i also put up my "playlist" on that thread.

 

can't forget about the bends! also, does anyone here make their own music?

 

amnesiac
ok computer
kid a
hail to the thief
in rainbows
the bends
pablo honey

 

The first one.. Uh.. Second one... All of them?

 

radiohead is one of my favorite bands

 

The Bends, OK Computer, In Rainbows in that order

but as a fan I do think Radiohead is overrated

 

Does any one listen to Thom Yorke?

 

OK Computer!

 

I enjoy "Hail To The Theif." But Karma Police is a damn good tune.

 

I cant really get into radiohead. The albums on their own dont do much for me. I guess I need to take my own tried and true method for getting into a band-- see them live! I have heard nothing but stellar things about them live. So it might just take a live show to get me hooked.

 

karma police is one of my most listened to song on my itunes

 

Dude I can listen to Kid A and basically just get high from hearing it. That song possibly brings with it the memories of the best moments of my life all in one. It is beyond awesome. Plus the rest of the album also fucking pwns. I think it may be my favorite album of all time from any band just because how well the songs compliment each other but at the same time all represent something entire symbolic and different on their own.

 

i just realized i don't even have any radiohead on this computer. i miss my old music library; i've been slacking on this one.

 

OK COMPUTER!!
and i actually dig in rainbows its really mellow and a decent smoking album.

 

Its definitely one of my all time favorite albums and each song on it is incredible.

 

I know this is a long thread and I am hopping in late but!

As an entire album as a whole:

In Rainbows. For me, every single track contributes to the album as a whole. I feel the music most on that album when I listen to the entire thing. "Nude" never fails to send me to this indescribable state of melancholy. The instrumentation is so open (nude actually is the best phrase for it) and Thom's voice is so exposed (nude again in a different way). Lyrically, all the songs describe different types relationships that we all have with one another; and the repetition of these styles of relationships with several throughout our life. Ironically the first lyrics on the album describe this repetition: "How come I end up where I started?".

I could go on forever but for the sake of a TLDR I'll stop.

Artistically, Radiohead is the most skilled group I have ever come across.

Also to the OP, why is it that you like Amnesiac? I would not disagree with you but, for me, it is their least listenable album. I went back and forth forever with a friend about that album and was just curious what about it rocks your socks.

 

Oh!

By the way, favorite tracks by Radiohead are:

Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Kid A
How to Disappear Completely
Idioteque
Wolf at the Door
Go to Sleep

and

4 Minute Warning of the In Rainbows B-Side (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) It's free, google it and download it from somewhere. Don't feel bad either, they don't sell it anywhere.

Okay I'm done (for now)
