How did you get into Radiohead?

That is a cop out arguement for haters because it could be
said for a number of artists.

Well, perhaps we hate all of those artists too!

I really can't be arsed to listen to a bunch of fucking
middle-class art student wankers drone on about how crap
their lives are. It's been done a million times before, and
it's just excruciating.

I'm surprised that Radiohead actually have fans who aren't
just depressed teenagers looking for something to slit their
wrists to.

.......and my mate showed me some of that Kid A stuff. I
thought it was shite. Why listen to that, when you can
listen to the stuff they've tried in vain to emulate (Aphex
Twin, Autechre, whatever), and which is so plainly superior?

Cheers RobE. I suspect we may be in the minority here
though.

Oh well :)

You brits really hate Radiohead :-) I can understand. I
don't like canadian artists. I know I carry that prejudice
though.

I don't know if emulate is more fitting than incorporate.
And I don't see what is so bad about that.

"Oh yes....take cover! }:>"

LOL. Ya, look out all the fanboys will be waking up.

It's not because they're British that I hate them. I like
lots of British artists. The majority of the music I like
is probably British. I just think Radiohead are a pile of
steaming ejaculate, that's all.

I do hate the fact that the singer feigns an American accent
when he's singing though.

we all hate something manicminer.

you don't like radiohead, i don't like u2 - but who gives a
shit?

the topic of this thread is 'how did you get into
radiohead', and obviously it's pointed towards radiohead
fans. so why are you reading this? so your hate in radiohead
can manifest some more?

hatred is not good mate, it eats you up. just let it go and
don't care about artists you don't like:)

OK Cre I see what you're saying. You're probably right.

But sometimes it's fun to explain why you like/dislike
something so much. I enjoy it. I'm probably sick :)

I bought ”Kid A” because of all the fuzz and hype. But
when I first listened to the lyrics in “How to disappear
completely” (performed with SO much soul) I was sold. The
rest is history. I still cry when I hear “I’m not
here...this is not happening”...

you know, about that fake american accent thom puts on while
singing - i agree with that. listen to creep acoustic and
you'll definitely hear it.

but that's just thom yorke.. he's an idiot and i hate, er..
dislike him:), but he can sing, and write lyrics/music.
but radiohead isn't just thom, there are 5 of them.

Yeah, but thats means that Thom is the head.

I got into Aphex Twin when I was 15, I was on holiday with
friends when I picked up Xylem Tube from a record store. I
was hooked from that point on.

I actually bought the OK Computer CD after hearing Paranoid
Android on the radio. It was a good CD, although Kid A and
Amnesiac are both shit.

april or may of 1997 i saw the world premier of an animated
music video for a song called "paranoid android" by a band i
was a little familiar with called radiohead. i knew their
song "creep" and i knew "high and dry" (though for a few
months i thought it was by silverchair for some reason).
anyway, i watched the video and fell in love with both the
cartoon and the song. i mean that song has it all, it's just
this massive, brilliant masterpiece. so i resolved to get
the album, ok computer, and i did. long story short, it's
always been my favorite album, and within a few months i
bought the radiohead back catalogue and the rest is history.

lfo remix of planet telex kind of sucked, he's done better
things. also i don't agree with what jivverdicker said about
that being their intro to electronic music, they've said in
many interviews that they've always listened to electronic
stuff, long before you started hearing it in their music.
when they recorded their debut album they were obsessed with
neu! and can.
