RADIOHEAD

[Bukkake Sensei]

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, and I absolutely fucking hated them the first time I ever heard them.

But you know what? To this day I cannot for the life of me get into The Bends or In Rainbows. I much prefer OK Computer (which is a fantastic album), Kid A (which is easily my favorite album and their most avant garde - the second half of the album is not as good as everything up until How To Disappear Completely, but w/e) and Hail to the Thief (which seems like it would be one of their more difficult albums to learn to love, but I took to it quickly).

I also really enjoy Kid A, though I have to be in the right mood to listen to it all through. After listening to it several times, I downloaded In Rainbows, which I couldn't get into at all.

For me, I think I have to be in the right mood for anything of theirs really. I finally did get around to listening to their other albums and liked them well enough, but it seems lately that if they ever come up on shuffle, I always think "oh hey this is a pretty awright song, but ehhh" and skip it. I'm not sure it I fully got into Kid A though. I think I'll go ahead and listen to them now and see if my opinion improves any.

I actually never got into them, I bought Amnesiac (yes BOUGHT) years ago but it didn't do anything for me, couldn't get into them those 1 or 2 times I tried, sounded incredibly bland to me, and then I stopped bothering I guess. Then again I can honestly say I haven't tried thoroughly listening to them aside from that one album, so I'll give them a shot again sometime when I can be assed.

yeah amnesiac is kind of a downer of an album, but i still like it

 

[Massive Attack]

[Ryu]

Despite my general dislike for Radiohead now, Fake Plastic Trees is still one of my favourite songs ever.

 

[frisson]

I like them a lot, but I wouldn't say best ever.

 

[Agoraphobia]

Hail to the Thief is pretty good I guess.

So many very very wrong opinions in this thread.

Fake Plastic Trees is a washed down version of How to Disappear Completely, and Hail to the Thief is like a worse Amnesiac.

 

[Ehres]

ehhh i don't mind radiohead at all. i don't know too much about this band but from what i've heard so far, i'm impressed. didn't like creep at all. i did however like pyramid song and talk show host was absolutely brilliant. i need to listen to some more. can anyone recommend their best songs?

Are we talking about the same Radiohead?

and Hail to the Thief is like a worse Amnesiac.

No, I don't think we are.
