frickin LOVE Led Zeppelin
only listened to them properly for the first time this year
Have listened to Led Zeppelin II and IV only, been playing them over and over and over.
Blew me away, seriously. I had to stop what I was doing, just close my eyes and listen.
Beautiful, Ramble On is one of my favourites

Oh man - what an exciting time - discovering Led Zep was probably the coolest summer of my life! Other music doesn't sound the same ever again. Every album is spectacular. Enjoy youngster!

Oh my god YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be prepared to have your mind blown over and over for probably the rest of your life. You need them all eventually, but I and III should be your next purchases. Then move on the rest. It's all great imo, yes even ITTOD.



About the Radiohead album....Definitely gonna get more spins, in different settings. I'm a big fan of theirs. They really can't top The Bends and Ok Comp for me, though HTTT is pretty close.

Kid A is pretty solid, but I think How To Disappear and Everything In It's RIght Place are obvious highlights.

Amnesiac just doesn't draw me in at all, really.

Pablo Honey is really front loaded but it's still listenable.

In Rainbows is one of the better listens, but it seems kinda safe overall.

I just finished my first listen and this is what I have to say. It has the worst parts of Kid A (even though there were hardly any) and the worst parts of In Rainbows (even though there wasnt that much) wrapped into one mediocre Thom Yorke solo album rebadged as a Radiohead album that isnt even 10 songs deep.

I know that sounds really harsh but even with that said it really isnt that bad. Its just not really all that good. Im sure there will be 2 or 3 tracks I'll dig quite a bit after awhile.

Anyone else realize Morning Mr Magpie is a reworked song from years ago.

I first heard this song in 04 I think.

Consistent? The bends and ok computer were awesome - no arguments... But to suggest kid A and amnesiac are consistent or brilliant is a bold statement. In my own subjective opinion they are horse shit records that people have had to try and like because they are radiohead.

Kid A was ranked No. 1 in lists of the best albums of the 2000s by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The Times.

Whether you like it or not, this album is universally recognized as being brilliant.

Since I have the album I did not try the link, but it looks like it will work. This is a must have for all Radiohead fans!

Yup - just caught the original on YouTube. I have to say, I definitely prefer what they've done with it since.

This band is absolutley amazing!

This album is so good and has only gotten better with each listen.

They continue to amaze me.

There is no other band that you can listen to and get a different experience everytime you listen.

this is why music excites me.

Pearl Jam will always be my first love. But Radiohead is the greatest band in the world.

I feel really left out. I haven't had the opportunity to listen to this yet... I've heard completely different opinions of this. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

Eric---did you pre-order it? you should be able to download it now since they released the digital copy a day early. i'm gonna listen to it in a bit.

Pfff, reviews are just opinions, no more valid than mine or anyone else's. Paranoid Android is currently voted Radiohead's best song on a poll NME are running, does that mean it is? It's not to me..........

I don't mind Kid A, but it doesn't showcase the parts of the band I like the most.

The baseline at the end of "feral" leading into "lotus flower" is just fantastic.

A post on Radiohead's message board. Very interesting.


"With an album title inspired by a 1000 year old tree, song titles like Bloom, Lotus Flower, and Feral, a acoustic guitars galore (even acoustic bass), exclusively real drums, and chopped up samples of thing like hand claps, hand percussion, the human voice, and a plethora of other natural sounds, Radiohead with this album were clearly trying to create something completely organic out of an electronic atmosphere. The whole thing is peppered with glitches and blips, but it never stops feeling alive - alive and breathing.

Here, the electronic haze of our modern age blends seemlessly with a forest of natural sound. Radiohead wanted to create an electronic album that was alive and breathing, and with The King of Limbs they've succeeded mightily."

Reviews are just opinions, but to be the most decorated album in a decade (according to many decade best lists) and to be considered an album that fans just try to like (according to previous poster) are worlds apart.

Currently on my 3rd listen with my Bose QC15s blasting in my ears. This is a great album. I would appreciate some b sides this year, but I am perfectly content with this album.
