wtf's so great about radiohead??

ok computer, pablo honey, amnesiac are my favorite albums...they are good, i used to like them more. it's got a cool post-modern sound...i wouln'dt call them awesome though.

 

Ok Computer is the DSOTM of our generation

 

Just 2 of their album are essential ...95 "the Bends"...and 97 "ok computer"......the rest is too intellectual rock...too electrodisorder...and often depressing...i like a some depressing or dark artist...as Black rebel motorcycle club or Nick Drake etc...

But since Kid A...they loose something...it's like if Thom Yorke was always playin with the misery of the world in his deppressing voice...no i can't hear them...it's just annoy me...their songs lack of hope ...there's no sunshine anymore in their music.


NB: I still appreciate some of their last songs...but it's not enough...sorry but i'm more excited with the non-revolutionary Oasis

 

dude... i simply can't agree with this.

we don't have jack shit that compares with dark side of the moon.

 

orange skies, that was funny as hell. you made me laugh. anywho, i love radiohead. i haven't listened to them in awhile. i agree that ok computer & hail to the theif are brilliant. and to see them live is a hell of a experience.

 

the obvious tracks:
paranoid android, creep, street spirit & just. they're brilliant - i don't see how anyone can't like those. also talkshow host +D

 

I like the Bends, but don't like most of OK Computer at all.....

I also like some of their later work like the super dark "pyramid song," its very atmospheric, and I love the slight arabian element.

I do think they are overrated, probably because not many other bands really get big in this day and age, so when one does, everybody worships them and annoy those who don't.

 

radiohead is one of my fave band but what i like the most is Tom's voice its just brilliant his lyrics dont make any sence mostpart but his voice...

 

hah. did ANYONE SEE adam and jo go tokoyo do a drunk karaeoke version of paranoid android in a japanese bar?! IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVEVVVVVRE SEEN! if anyone has seen it or knows how to get that clip i will pay you a million [fairy] dollars.

soo fuunny.

hello! did you not ever tap out KARMA POLICE, with three fstoned friends, one on piano, one sits on top drumming that thud.. one sings solemnly.??? did you never do that???. man you mssed out!!

 

I listened to them proprerly for the first time yesterday while tripping and I was very impressed. I only listened to Kid A, I thought I was imagining most of the sounds, it was creepy! Everything in its right place, How to disappear completley and Idioteque seem to be the best tracks. What do you guys think of this album, is it one of their better ones?

 

I parted company with the whole Radiohead album back catalogue last year, can't say I miss 'em that much either, don't dislike 'em but they never really excited me either

 

yeah i really iked it.. wierd as fuk tho. everything in it's right place..i think brought a space for more of those kind of sounds to be more ...whassssscommon place..ou know what i mean? Its alsmost difficult to listen to i reckon becuase its so freaky.. theres no calm melodies on that one. no soft breaks or cadance changes into some etheral transition. I liked one of the songs on amnesiac so much but i forget which one now. it was jut such a relief! to hear that radiohead sound plunge into a better 'health' i think they sound ill if you get me. like they're dying really painfully. and all twisted and broken metal teeth rusting erghh. but briliant too. i think they do it on purpose though... its effective i'll give i that.

the bends sounds amaxinng. but ok computer is really definitve to me. karma police. written on my heart, imprinted on my brain with a scalding hiss at a party some time around 13. i don't know for how many more...years i can listen to it and say oh yesss! but it been 5 now and still gets me.
It was my faveoriate stuff when i was in teen angst tho. so their matruing is kind of wierd but nessercary, its just so bloody deppressing that they haven't yet bloomed into wailing affirmations..but i guess thats not theyre style it'll never happen..which is really clever of them i think. i bet they play happy tunnes in private with angelic chorals and 82 piece orchestra.. but we'll never get to hear them.
well radiohead definetly get into my head. and stick there buzzing around like a loose wire. it's good music it's clever manipulative stuff. makes me ccrrrrazeeeeeeeee

 

I like the song Karma Police...

 

I find i cant conenct to their music. its not a 'feel' i enjoy that much, or think is good to listen to all the time. theyre good musicians and theres some awesome songs of theirs.. but it just doesnt pull at anything inside me. its like a strong emotion.. but not one that i connect to. people who do conenct to this emotion though just adore them soo much. and i can understand this. i like having it playing and stuff but i dont get their albums or listen to them unless therye in a playlist or someone else is listenin or i jsut decide to listen to various artists

 

(though really their main thing is that they dont follow much of a key in their songs. they do it very well, choosing the right majors and minors
