Radiohead

bryanfury

best fuckin band ever. hard for me to understand how people couldn't like them. its liek not liking the beatles back in the day.

more than anything, i think people who don;t listen to them are really missing out on something very special!

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.

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.

Pearl Jam and toast

Saying that Radiohead sucks after OK Computer is like saying the Beatles sucked after Rubber Soul - it doesn't make any sense.

great analogy. except i'd call ok comp. their sgt peppers but it's all relative anyway

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.

to each his own i guess...

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.

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.

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

thank you darlin, good to know my way with words is appreciated now and again

A Surprise Left

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
