(look, a half-decent thread!)_ i am finally beginning to appreciate radiohead. thanks to the guy down the corridor. got kid A, amnesiac, hail to the thief and eraser (thom yorke on his own). will try and get hold of ok computer which is apparently amazing. Like Spinning Plates on amnesiac is amazing. now i understand why everyone calles them experimental. |
||||||||
|

There's a radiohead live album with an better version of like spinning plates. Just Tom and a piano having a blast. Be sure to check that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Idioteque on the same album (I suppose you mean "I might be wrong") is really good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's my favourite track as well, but the sample that makes the track so good is stolen from some old electronic music album, and it's not credited :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, but really.. it is. as for radiohead. they have stupid fans and hail to the thief was a bit of a crap album, havent listened to them in ages but i still stick by them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, didn't know that, by whom? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the eraser isn't a radiohead album, FAG! anyway, you need to get their b-sides. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all their albums have great moments Ezk, try "Radiodread" album with dub versions of OK Computer, if you haven't. Great fun to listen. And a very good version of "airbag" by Horace Andy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Mild und Leise" by Paul Lansky. Hmm i just didnt think it was credited for some reason, at least not on the album. In the bottom of the page. |
||||||||
|

"I would not go on tour with them because I do not like them" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by aphex? i heard linkin park wanted to tour with him too he probably just told them to fuck off. |
||||||||
|

Hail to the thief is a great album. It totally restored my faith in rock-music and music making bands in general (or whatever you want to call it). There's actually some experimentation/development in a meaningful way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah!!! These are really fun!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all they do is try copying artists they found interesting (at least they have good taste in those) and it just turns out silly because they probably don't know what to do with those sounds..i'll never get over it. most pretentious band in the history of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love radiohead with all my heart |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but played backwards, the songs uuhm.. well.. they tell you things, man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what all good musicians do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hail to the thief gets so boring so quickly imo. still good tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. And Radiohead do a phenomenal job of integrating all kinds of sounds into their music. There's no outright ''copying'' to speak of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Although they have a few stylistic misses. Some of their electronic stuff rubs me the wrong way sometimes and I generally hate Thom's voice. But something like Pyramid Song is a great musical hybrid and very distinctive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite tracks by radiohead are the b-sides from amnesiac. They're wicked and they formed the majority of the soundtrack to a scanner darkly. Plus about 10 tracks between amnesiac and kid a. Most of the last album was disappointing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hail to the thief had some awesome songs. except, for me, its heaps different from their previous stuff and doesnt do it for me. also, the tracklisting, and production? just seems a bit flawed. i dunno, could of been better. but instead, it just seems like a random collection of too many songs with only a few enjoyable moments (imo, anyway). um, if i didnt get into radiohead, i doubt id be listening to what i listen to today. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hail to the thief is very different to the other albums. i feel thwe songs are written from a different angle, they are very... theatrical. wich is interesting but it makes it harder to 'connect' with them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the Radioheads. Knives Out is one of my all time favourite songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus, you're just discovering them now.. :/ the version of "like spinning plates" on the i might be wrong ep is far better in my opinion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah best song in my opinion followed closely by talk show host |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pyramid song anyone? thats the one that does for me. everytime i hear it, brings back something, it sounds so perfect. IN MY OPINION |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes pyramid song! had an awesome video as well. one of the b-sides to that (think its called 'trans-atlantic drawl') is superb. I Might Be Wrong is the best release theyve put out. makes them sound like an amazing live band and i can see why their tickets get snapped up within hours. shame about thom yorkes face though. |

I really cannot fathom why anyone would like Thom Yorke or want to listen to him. He may be the Madonna of Pretentious Rock Music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a pity :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really! I don't feel that I'm missing out, plus I don't believe they contribute anything so original and spellbinding that I simply cannot survive or live an enjoyable and fulfilling musical existence without them! God, it's like looking up to the head prefect in an upper-middle-class boarding school - he comes across so vain and self-important and arrogant and lots of other negative traits. Yuck! |
||||||||

a head prefect who looks LIKE HES HAD A STROKE |

if theres one music making person or group I have faith enough to want everything they produce, its radiohead. I have come to really love hail to the thief, even though the title is a bit shit, but I Will and Where I End And You Begin are up there with their best songs, and the rest are great as well , and the Eraser is the best album I' bought in 2006 and probably a long while before... yeah I like radiohead a lot. and I have serious doubts about people who have otherwise good taste in music but really hate radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's my prediction. in two years they will release a slightly different version of the new team doyobi album with york vocals over it. and rgey will once again be hyped as the most experimental band in the universe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fact that they get absurd amounts of hype shouldnt actually have any effect on the listener |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't, but i don't enjoy listening to a bad copy of music i actually enjoy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah they're like the Bill Gates of Pret Rock -- other people do all the hard graft and original work, then the Swanky Wankers come along and nick it all, repackage it and hail themselves as The Most Intellectually Important Musical Outfit Ever To Have Humbled God With Their Immense Awesomenity. When, in fact, they're a browny-green slime dwelling within the armpit of a cesspool tree. Etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i cant envisage winning this argument but when people describe musicians they dont like as 'self-important' or 'pretentious' it tends to be an interpretation of how they are presented in the media rather than anything you can directly link to the musician, and i think most musicians could probably be portrayed as pretentious if you wanted them to be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't follow their media-coverage, I'm basing it mainly on what has come out Thom Yorke's mouth or things he has written, etc. And I base my dislike of their music on... wait for it... listening to their music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait. this is not about autechre being pretentious, is it? /sarcasm point being: whether radiohead is pretentious or not, is about as important as whether autechre is pretentious or not. in other words: it's a load of gobshite. it just doesn't fucking matter. you like their music or you don't. apparently you don't. but arguments as "i don't like them because their pretentious" = load of gobshite. sometimes all the hype seems to occur only in peoples heads themselves. no wait, make that most of the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead is great music. get over it haters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not liking them is one thing. not liking them because of thom yorkes personality/whatever is silly. just, dont give a damn, about any of it.. cos if you did the same for every artist/band, you wouldnt be listening to anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
see an interview sometime and talk then. you will be surprised. they usually start with "we're the gods of avantguarde music and the world turns around us!", then thom gives a few winks just so we know how brilliant he really is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not that i have a problem with his face or anything, but isnt thom in a constant state of winking? |
||||||||

that is my favourite song too. not of all time but of radiohead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You forgot to add the /SeriousAndSincereRant tag at the end of your post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I avoid that problem by not reading Radiohead / Thom Yorke interviews |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to know how artists think myself. |
