just buy OK Computer. It's prretty down the line as it goes
but it's verry good. If you don't like it, just give up on
them, therre arre plently of otherr bands to fill yourr time
with.

'pulk/pull revolving doors' from 'amnesiac'. and any others
that contain just little or no yorke's vocals.

i generally can't listen to r-head cause Yorke's voice
annoys me, but i still have a few cds. ok computer, kid a
and amnesiac have many good moments on them.

yeah Kid A isnt that bad (listening again) but its not
something i would listen to all the time. thom yorkes voice
is annoying though!

i think it's different if you get to know their stuff album
by album and in chronological order. i knew them in about
'97 when "computer" was released. i was still more into rock
stuff and soon began to listen to more electronic stuff.
when i was deep into electronic music - then Radiohead
caught up and released "kid a" . so i could like their
music again.

well, if you start from "computer" [or from "pablo honey"]
and go further than you can see how they changed, evolved
from a guitar rock band to a......weird and somewhat
"electronica influenced" guitar band.

yeah, i know they started off as a "standard" rock/indie
group and slowly changed. I suppose i should hear more

Thom's voice and 'tude grate on me now, too. Didn't used to.
But I think their music is thuperb, always nicely crafted.

my favourite band..innovators and absorbers as all class
acts are ..they seem to wind a lot of people up as this
shows..most albums have something that is excellent on
them..why does a request for information get treated with
abuse..thought the quest for knowledge was a worthy pursuit

i love KID A because i got into it around the same time i
found ambient electronic music. after listening to more and
older stuff, i realize how much Radiohead was "influenced".


Okay Computer is an amazing album, in my opinion. i used to
hate it but after a while it really grew on me. it's a great
album to listen to when you are depressed. which i'm not
anymore. which is probably why i don't listen to much
Radiohead anymore.

Amnesiac is really good too. it's like Kid A, but on a
different tip.

i was a big fun of radiohead once but they just lost me
after "Amnesiac", i think their stuff after that album was
just hit and miss, or maybe i wasn't into that kind of rock
music anymore....and vocals in music usually annoy me. i
used to enjoy Bjork's singing as well as Yorke's, but it's
not like that anymore.

and don't let any "abuse" put you off, hello and welcome to
xltronic - your excellent source for abusive music opinions

thanks mate.....
not bothered about abuse per se
i just always get confused about people "hating" music
seems pointless... leaves you less time to love the rest

I really like radiohead but then I got into them with the
bends. one of the reasons i think i like them though is that
theyve evolved musically on a simliar tangent to myself. kid
A is great bus music and i really enjoyed hail to the thief.
a lot of people slate it but really radiohead are a rock
band at heart and Hail... i think, is a great marriage of
rock electronica without going too far in either direction.

"ok,ok, I really fucking hate them but everyone seems to
like them"


> no,
most people seem to hate them on this board. : )

i actually suspect a few ones of pretending to hate them
just to jump on the (anti-)bandwagon... by the way, if you
really "fucking hate them", why are you asking
for recommendations?

anyway, i don't agree with people saying that if you've
heard OK Computer, you've heard it all... The Bends, OK
Computer and Kid A are really different styles to me. but
maybe that depends on how much you're used to them/how much
you appreciate them.

If you don't like Thom Yorkes singing I wouldnt know what
to recommend because I think its the best part, I like it
when he dips into being completely unintelligable

I would say that Hail to the Theif is my favorite. But I
believe I am in the minority in that.

But this thread annoys me, so please disregard any relevant

i have the same experience as some of the others here --
radiohead are only cool if you're either a kid or depressed.
they were the band that got me into music but i never listen
to them nowadays.

i got into them and i still kinda like em, but i never
(ever) listen to em anymore. i might listen to amnesiac or
kid a again one day..
oh yeah, liking hail to the thief is a crime. liking fog
(again) over fog is a crime.

I feel the same... never listen to them anymore but still
are a huge influence on my music taste, whether I like it or
not, music from when you're young inevitably becomes etched
in your subconsious...

Pyramid Song, or I Might Be Wrong, athems from the good old
