but this is our point... the people who say everything after the bends is 5 stars and a masterpiece are annoying. and i think there are a lot more of them than you're allowing. im glad you're not one of them, but there are still a LOT of them and they annoy the bejesus out of me.
I understand your point and I agree, and I know there are way too many people who fall into that category.
My point is that for as many people that fall into your category of annoying Radiohead fans, there are just as many who fall into my category of saying "everything except The Bends & OK Computer is crap, anybody who likes any of their other albums is a fanboy and can't make musical judgements on their own." Just because I like songs from HTTT doesn't mean I think it is a masterpiece, there are way too many people who are so anti-Radiohead that they think liking anyhting not on OKC is just being a fanboy or giving in to critical praise.
They are possibly my favorite band. I mean who puts out an album like OK Computer, then follow it up with an album like Kid A and not skip a beat. The talent in that band is rediculous.
who gave us that quote about how "x-million people can't be wrong"? radiohead is not winning any new fans. they tried to dabble into ambient electronic music. it has resulted in mediocre rock music and mediocre electronic music. they're not turning on any rock fans nor any electronic fans. all they're doing anymore is giving the diehards wet dreams about what a genius thom is. nobody else cares or is listening.
And that's all I want them to do. I could care less if Joe-Blow next to me has a wet dream over their music, but so long as I do, I will continue to think their music is awesome, important and still relevant in this society.
I guarantee that there are more non-fans than fans out there for every band in existence. That does not make any band any less significant in the eyes of each individual fan, especially those that have wet dreams about them.

They successfully "dabbled" into ambient electronic music from a straight forward rock sound which is unheard of. That in itself not only shows you the talent of the band, but shows you the testicular fortitude of the band. No band out there had or has the balls to do that. They did. And thats what a band is supposed to do. Evolve into something totally new, which 99% of the bands out there either don't understand or are too lazy. And, i don't care what you say, Kid A is one of the most critically acclaimed albums in the last 10-15 years.
The "x-million people cant be wrong" statement is just stupid and not worth commenting on.

well i hope you dont think im one of them. i like pablo honey and kid a, though neither is my favorite. i think amnesiac sucks. hail to the thief was boring. but im open to a good radiohead album. i just dont think they've done one lately. certainly nothing that approaches masterpiece levels.

since when is a band "supposed" to do something totally new? should we have novelists writing poetry? no, becos their strengths lie in novels, not poetry. artists have a passion and a calling and changing for the sake of changing is stupid. if you're the best at what you do, why go on to a mediocre career in something else (see michael jordan's baseball career) that means you're pissing your talent away.
ive no doubt radiohead's electronic experimentation was from the heart, but from what i've heard, it wasn't too impressive by electronic standards. nor was it very impressive by rock standards. it was only impressive to rock fans who were going to write radiohead a blank check for whatever they did and decided to write it becos radiohead was so "brave" in making a mediocre electronica album.
sorry man.. i have to disagree with u on that one.....radiohead are one of my favorite bands......u should give them a chance im sure u would like some songs......check out these songs:
paraniod android
let down
karma police
nice dream
my iron lung
the national anthem
they have so many more but those are some of my favs.
"oh please........
let it ran today
this city is so filthy
like my mind in ways....."

notice almost all are from the bends/ok computer and only one from any other album.

Nah, wasn't aimed at anybody in particular. I just know a lot of people who start calling people apologists the moment they hear somebody say they like HTTT, like it is impossible for them to believe somebody genuinlely likes the album.

my wife rates it right behind OK Computer
I have it pretty high up there as well. Only tune i don;t like is Myxamatosis. Every other song on there is good, with some greats in there (there there, 2+2, sail to the moon, backdrifts, scatterbrain, wolf, where i end, punchup)

weird, becos myxamatosis is one of the few tracks i did like from that album. as to your list above, ive heard all of those songs. ive listened to all of these albums several times. they have their moments. but there's still not much on there the compares to even the middle tier of songs on bends and ok computer.

its tough to compare them to songs like let down, homesick alien, exit music, etc. the bends and ok are 2 of the best albums of all time from any band. because they aren't THAT good doesn;t mean they aren't good at all.
they haven't done a bad album, and haven't done a bad tune.
shit, their ep's have some greta fuckin tunes. iron lung ep and airbag ep are better discs than most people put out for their regular stuff.
you say the albums sucks, but still claim to like it. it's like the mindless pearl jam apologists who insist riot act is a fantastic album.
amnesiac sucked, plain and simple. bremerton nailed it when he pointed out that there are about 3 good songs to an album post-ok computer. they're a pale shadow of what they once were. and that'd be fine if their idiot fans didn't insist that thom yorke's shit doesn't stink.
Why don't you just say you hate all pearl jam fans for liking riot act, (which i do, has some great tracks)
I'm sure that would go along excellently you ignoramus.

to each his own i guess...
treefingers is a great tune? is it even a tune? is there a melody or a song in there?
amnesiac was a weak album. im not saying everything they've done since ok computer was bad. just that most of what they've done since hasnt been particularly good. just as most of what pearl jam has done since yield hasnt been particularly brilliant either.

I detest Riot Act.
What makes him an ignoramus? You are the one putting words in his mouth.

ok, i hate you and all pearl jam fans who like riot act. :rolleyes:
key word in your post... SOME great tracks. they've done albums that had ALL amazing tracks. that's a slip. and radiohead has done the same. and im not going to pretend neither of them did it nor let their fans blow shit up my nose and tell me it's a daisy.

read the rest of buddy's post, i think its on page 1.
And his first post where he says radiohead fans. A personal attack, i got defensive, cause radiohead are an amazing band.

uh... knocking your fav band is not a personal attack on you. if anything, t's a personal attack on thom and his shite taste in music
i also agree with soulsinging, radiohead fans can be downright annoying. right up there with fans of tool who insist maynard's shit doesn't stink. the bends was great and ok computer was a masterpiece but they haven't recorded anything to those levels since.

Who here are Radiohead fans? Personally, I can't stand them, but I do know a couple die hard fans who ridicule me for not liking them. I was just wondering what you guys think of them.
Geez Red, First Nirvana, now Radiohead.
Would you like to come by and punch my grandma while your at it?
and to answer your question, I consider Radiohead my generation's Beatles
"Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"
When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.
