Members fruvai Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Not much of a fan, I just don't like the vocals at all, and that usually ruins it for me as far as how great a band is. I also hate the comparison of them being a modern Pink Floyd. {censored} that {censored}. Yeah it's an insult to Radiohead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah it's an insult to Radiohead LoL I make that comparison, but I love both bands. They're both psychedelic, atmospheric, experimental, cynical, conceptual, melodic, uncompromising, and very English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members claytonjohn18 Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 A statistics major would think the curve formed by responders is interesting. Not a large enough sample, by any means, but still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 I've been a huge fan since The bends. I remember buying Pablo honey because of "Creep" and being very underwhelmed by everything except "Lurgee." Then sometime in 1995, right around the time I started playing guitar, I saw an issue of Mojo with Jimmy Page on the cover. He was holding The bends in one hand and Jeff Buckley's Grace in the other so I bought those two albums not really expecting much. The opening notes of "Planet Telex" gave me goosebumps. I've looked forward to every album since and they have yet to disappoint me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah it's an insult to Radioheadyeah, I'm not huge on radiohead these days, but I'll never get the Pink Floyd love here. They just don't do much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orange worker Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Like them...love the bends. Ok computer/kid a are good. Don't like much else other than a few early songs like Killer Cars and Thinking About You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Like them, would really like them if it weren't for Yorke's histrionics. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arcaneaether Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Brilliant band, and Thom Yorke's a legend. I've had enough "His vocals are depressing and a put-off" from my dad to not be bothered by it, but recently said that Hail to the Thief is an excellent album (then proceeded to say Amnesiac is {censored}...because of Thom's vocals). They're great, but I can understand why others would dislike hate them. Definitely not overrated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr. Goldenglove Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Really like them. Don't enjoy the first two records at all (except "Just"), OK Computer is awesome, Kid A, Amnesiac have great songs, Hail To The Thief is great, In Rainbows was a bit of a let-down - I was expecting something, I dunno, more rock-like. Less mellow. But still, it's a good record. The stuff after that, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hivedestruction Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Love OK Computer, Amnesiac, and Kid A. Enjoy HTTT, and In Rainbows. Couldn't care less about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sandvich Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 I like The Bends and OK Computer quite a lot, and some of their demos/b-siders from around that era. Johnny Greenwood's guitar is a big influence. I don't like the newer minimalist electronica type stuff for the most part. Hail to the Thief had some good tracks but not too many. I think "New" Radiohead are over-rated and samey, but I still think they're a creative and cool band, just not one I'm interested in compared to how they used to be.

Members Dr. Goldenglove Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Like someone mentioned, they seem to try to hard to sound "new". With Kid A, it felt not forced, but with "In Rainbows" and especially later stuff, it sounds a bit un-energetic to me. "The Eraser" is better than In Rainbows, imo.

Members Kimme Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 Kid A and Amnesiac are bigger than god himself.So brilliant, i got no words to discribe this.btw: Does anyone like The Notwist?In my opionion they are like the german radiohead.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 eh, they're pretty good for a chick band.I don't know any chicks who like Radiohead My wife won't let me play their records when she's around. , my sisters don't like them, nor my colleagues.Most dudes I know at least have an appreciation for them. The ones who don't tend to like bouncy or funky music. Radiohead is the antithesis of bouncy and funky. They're like angry astronaut music.

Members comrade_jon Posted September 20, 2010 Members Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think the Pink Floyd comparison is unfair because Radiohead don't quite weird you out the same way - not that I dabble in it but I sense that Pink Floyd for their more experimental stuff one needs mind-altering substances, but with Radiohead there are no 24 minute songs. But I'm one of those Pink Floyd fans that other Pink Floyd fans hate, pretty much only Dark Side of the Moon pour moi and a few of the other 'hits' I'm brought to the long bit of interviews in Meeting People is Easy when someone asks Colin about prog rock and he goes "we all HATE prog rock" But anyway let's roll through the Radiohead discography with my take which I think most of the Radiohead fans will agree with anyway:Pablo Honey - travesty The Bends - a little worse for wear given the test of time but quite a few songs on there are incredible OK Computer - easily one of the best albums of all time Kid A - at times difficult to listen to but this is an album that played a huge part in making people listen to more electronic music. Taken on a whole album rather than track by track basis it is their best Amnesiac - a little disjointed as a whole piece but with some stellar tracks Hail to the Thief - the TRUE unsung hero. Like in that interview with Dave Fanning, there are too many tracks but some songs on there like Sail to the Moon, Scatterbrain and 2+2=5 are incredible. This album is like a best of Radiohead, picking and choosing everything from straight rock to the more avant garde In Rainbows - my personal favourite, the most personal, touching, harrowing album I've heard in a while. The run from Nude to Reckoner remains the very peak of music and one I fear shall not be touched for a long time My very long 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
