Radiohead.

Hardcore? Lame? l33t? Depressing?

O.K Computer or Kid A? Other favourites?

Discuss. :cheers:

I've been listening to OKC a lot recently. Climbing up the Walls is a trip.

I love Radiohead. Kid A is probably my favorite album of theirs, but all of them are terrific (except maybe Pablo Honey). Every song sounds completley different than the one before it, and from what I've heard, their live show kicks serious ass, too. How to Disappear Completley is probably the most beautiful piece of music made by human beings in the past 200 years.

Radiohead are my all time favorite band.
Kid A, my all time favorite album.
And in my opinion, the best contemporary album of our time is OK Computer.

In the other thread ("Sigh...") I listed almost every Radiohead song I really like.

Kid A was actually the first album I ever loved.
And from then on, I loved music.

A lot of people talk about the "depressing" quality of Radiohead's music,
but I find it to mostly be exaggerated.
There are very few Radiohead songs I would say were at least remotely depressing.
I think people often mix up 'depressing' with emotional, and I definitely do NOT mean "emotional" in the Emo sense of the word.
Arg!
Emo is such an annoyingly all-encompassingly ambiguous genre name!
I mean really, what music lacks any emotion at all?
NONE.

Anyway, I can't wait for the new Radiohead album.

I love Radiohead. Not my all time favorite, but OKC is amazing. I tried to get into Kid A, but I couldn't as much. Exit Music (For a Film) is really the only depressing song on the album, but it's still awesome, so no complaints here. I think the fact that Coldplay was (and still is) my favorite band, helped ease me into Radiohead, while a lot of other people find it too hard to really get interested in. To those of you who havn't heard it, buy it, or burn it. Just listen to it.

The song in the romeo and juliet soundtrack was fucking awsome.

^ Talk show Host was pretty good yeah.

I really enjoy Radiohead cause they're totally different... Fake Plastic Trees is a good one and Just. Love that video aswell.

[Blaksmoke]

I listening to a Radiohead song right now. Or at least, is has Thom Yorke singing in it with an orchestra behind him....it's a Winamp file named "arpeggi live ether 27-03-05". I have no idea where I got it from, but it's awesome.

Love Radiohead. The Bends and Kid A are my favorite albums. Both have several distinctive songs.

[cubist]

Radiohead is not my favourite band. They barely sneak into the top five (Secret Chiefs 3, Elliott Smith, Mr. Bungle and The Beatles at 1/2/3/4 respectively - yes, I am a Beatles fan, not just someone who says they're a fan after hearing Yellow Submarine or some shit). Kid A, although by far their most utterly fantastic album, doesn't get a top 5 spot at all.

But the first five seconds of the album opener "Everything in its Right Place" are the greatest five seconds of music on this earth. No opener, so first bar of a song will ever come close. It's sublime.

Radiohead are my all time favorite band.

Despite the apparent "contradiction" (or so it would seem to the less discerning), I know exactly what you mean

[dementia]

Have any of you ever played Kid A on two seperate devices with a 17 second gap between them? I don't know if it's true, but supposedly it syncs up well. I tried it once, using my Xbox's HDD and playing the CD in my PC, but there is a time difference on the devices between songs that threw everything off.

For what it's worth though, Everything it it's right place synched up nicely, when you hear "Eveything" on the second device, the first device immediately follows with "in it's right place," for example.

I like Radiohead. And I have lots.

[Spatula]

I love Radiohead. Thom Yorke has got to be one of the best currently living musicians I have ever heard.

[Miyahon]

Radiohead => God

yes they are depressing but that conveys their depth. They had so many pieces that were brillaint. And as much as I hate the stoners adoring Kid Aand Amnesiac being nothing but B session. But they as a band are some of the greatest musicains of the 90s.

They helped me through a very hard time in my life.
