Radiohead Hatred....

You know, in the past couple of weeks, I've noticed in
passing that they're are many folks in the mainstream that
really hate Radiohead.

At 2:00am on Friday night, I actually saw a video on MTV
that was a very bad Kid Rock song. It showed him 'at home'.
He goes to the toliet to take a dump and you notice that
'Radiohead' is printed on the toliet paper.....

I think it's funny....

well, I dont think that fucknose kid rock has any goddamn
room to talk. I wouldnt even call what he does music.

Lately I haven't been impressed with Radiohead as much as I
used to be, but I still love them.

Kid rock is a little bitch. Simply nothing. Radiohead create
wonderful tracks. I dont like them all but I have more
respect for them then Kid Rock.

Radiohead are my favourite band. And it's fair enough if you
don't like them.

But what I hate is a lot of people in IDM circles who seem
to think that Kid A and Amnesiac was some kind of invasion
of territory. I didn't get all the people who said Kid A
sounds just like Autechre. Since when did Autechre have
guitars? Or comprehensible vocals?

Sorry about that. Glad to have got that off my chest. :)

i think buddyhead said it best when they wrote: In
Kid Rock's new video, he wipes his ass with toilet paper
that says "Radiohead" on it. We were surprised he didn’t
use the dildo that he usually wipes it with.

anyway, i love radiohead. i also love when idm/electronica
snobs put down radiohead for integrating (more) electronics
into their last 2 albums. they claim that the last 2 albums
are simply attempts to mimic aphex twin and autechre.
ignorant and completely unfounded comments like tell me
which people to listen to and which to ignore.

I can't explain it Tits, I just hate them. I can't stand
anything about them. I hate his voice so much, whining and
droning on like the miserable middle-class Oxford twat he
is. I hate the way he sings with an American accent (why?
Probably to appeal to mass-market America and therefore sell
more records).

I hate the fact that there earlier stuff was just
watered-down grunge with a bit of Britpop/Indie shite thrown
in for good measure. And now their latest stuff is just a
fucking pale imitation of Warp stuff. With some token
guitars thrown in. Oh, and his fucking voice again.

A pile of fetid, steaming wank.

Kid Rock is just stupid.

My favorite part in that video is where they show a photo of
him with a military uniform or something on and it says at
the bottom "I'll kick his ass" 'Rock to take on Bin Laden'.
What a fucking moron.

I don't like Radiohead, but I wouldn't say that I 'hate'
them.

his voice is an acquired taste, i'll give you that -- BUT,
it doesn't sound american to me. as for pablo honey, i think
that's a great album. a bit derivative of the music that was
around at the time, but then again what wasn't? listen to
the music that came out in 1993 like smashing pumpkins,
belly, and the breeders, it didn't have to be from seattle
to have a grunge influence. as for the warp comment, see
what i wrote above. you must be listening with both ears
covered to reach that conclusion.

I've never been a huge fan

but they're a damn sight more talented than many other
popular rock bands.

Dis-liking them for whining & being middle class is a cute
observation. I'm less disdainful since hearing "Idioteque".
I think they make good music. fair play to 'em.

Kid Rock sounds like a publicity hungry tosser

I love Radiohead. Their sound has changed over the years
but I still like every album (except maybe Pablo Honey..that
one just doesn't do much for me)

I read some story about Kid Rock once where he said that he
just thought that Radiohead was boring and he wouldn't play
it at a party but he'd play it when he was at the office
updating web pages or something, hahahaha. I don't care
what that idiot says.

Probably the best band in the world, but I have some qualms
with them... Thom's voice is great, but I don't like it...
not sure what I mean, but it's not my kind of voice. Bit
over the top. But it IS good, just... not my thing.

And I don't like their electronic experiments... just not my
thing, again... may be the wrong way to look at things, but
when I heard Kid A, I thought the electronic thing was
great, then I heard Aphex as a result (they got me into
him), and then it sounded decidedly LESS great. Sucks to be
me and to see things that way... but their electronic work
just doesn't impress me now... but they rock like nobody
else, they're just one of a kind. Best band in the world,
definitely, but not perfect.

Haven't heard their new songs, but the OLD ones annoy me
with their lack of happiness... odd, because I HATE happy
songs... I dunno. I'm just typing out random thoughts, so of
course I'm not making sense. They fucking rule, though.

Is the fact that RDJ dislikes Radiohead supposed to add
weight to the anti-Radiohead argument?

Radiohead ARE unique. Seriously, somebody come up with an
album similar to Kid A, or Amnesiac.

try some Tortoise..some Pram..some Stereolab..in fact
there's a label full of Electro Rock at TOO PURE..Add N to
X..Rock and Electronics have been blended for yonks...the
tradition goes as far bck as Roxy Music and Bowie...
Radiohead just had a bigger PR..

Flea, I don't think Radiohead sound anything like Tortoise.
For a start, where are Tortoise's vocals? Where's the madcap
jazz and the ambient? A Tortoise track that sounds like
Idioteque?
Stereolab don't sound like Radiohead either. I've never
heard any Pram.

Kid A and Amnesiac are far more than just electronic and
rock put together. There's jazz, ambient, poppy-dance,
and... uh... Morning Bell / Amnesiac.

A's experimentalism that Radiohead are generated just for

I think Radiohead are mainstream. A band that gets to number
one is undoubtedly mainstream.

But remember that mainstream is not necessarily bad.

Infact, I think Aphex is mainstream...

We all ahve our own opinions about music, but to catergorize
Radiohead and Aphex as mainstream is uncontrollably funny.

Kid Rock fuckin blows, and Radiohead is great, aside from
Pablo Honey which isnt that bad of an album Radiohead have
done great with their music.

How can anyone hate Radiohead? thats crazy.

flea i respect your musical tastes but you're off your mark
on those comparisons. i love tortoise but they've never made
anything with the depth and variety of a radiohead album. oh
yea, plus they don't have lyrics. and stereolab? you're
trying a little too hard there. yea, they both use warm
sounding synths and fx pedals and have been remixed by
artists on warp (rh: lfo; stereo: autechre), but so what?
one has female vocals and the other male. and the lyrical
differences are huge. plus, again - radiohead albums have a
ton more variety. stereolab albums are cool but most of the
songs sound the same. that's why i can't remember the
titles. and again, not as much melodic progression. as for
blending rock and electronics, i don't think anyone REALLY
(and i mean outside of this board) is claiming that
radiohead pioneered that. i mean look at neu!, kraftwerk's
side project in the early 70s. that was prog rock plus synth
stuff. radiohead aren't pioneering music, just exploring
themselves as a band. what's new is relative to them, not
the world (except for the many people who are into radiohead
but weren't into electronica until kid a and amnesiac album.
in this case you should laud the band for introducing people
to new things. they never claimed (and i challenge you to
find evidence to the contrary) to have done anything that's
never been done before.).

yeah...i think some of the radiohead hating is a bit over
the top...
they seem like one of those bands that ..either you love
them or hate them.there doesnt seem to be any in between..

i can understand people disliking them...but to make it a
point to declare ones absolute hatred seems a bit much for a
band like radiohead (see: 'type of music you hate' thread)
especially when there are much more hate-able bands out
there ..oasis is a good example

i think maybe because radiohead are kinda on the line
between underground and mainstream...they have an
underground mindset, and try to operate as an underground
independant band would, but have mainstream success and
popularity
so its like they're the target of resentment for kids who
are way too hip to like anything thats not what they
consider to be purely underground...these kids see them as
posers profiting off of 'their' music...which i dont think
is the case

for one thing, radiohead are hardly mainstream. also, its
predictable enough that most of you are upset at radiohead
for even daring to attempt electronic music. i think its
admirable and probably got a good deal of people into afx
who wouldn't have given him a passing glance. anyway,
atleast get kid a right, it hardly sounds like afx, more
boards of canada, especially on the title track. radiohead
are just a band evolving, and listen to ok computer and
honestly tell me you HATE this band, because i won't believe
it.
