image heavy post!

"There is nothing to fear, nothing to doubt." (Pyramid Song)

I don't know how to start this...but I feel that it must be done. I have to praise them, because they are the definition of amazement. The eye-opening, eternal beauty of their music is unique. They aren't just another band.

They're Radiohead.

[image loading]


"Such a pretty house, and such a pretty garden." (No surprises)

It all began for me, when I listened to their album "Kid A" ten years ago. This record saved my life.

[image loading]


"Kid A" is a blistering mess, constructed with bleeps, noises and Thom Yorke's voice. A huge fucking mess, but still awesome. The combination of minimalistic arrangements and all those little big melodies...

"we're rotten fruit, we're damaged good, what the hell, we've got nothing left to lose." (Backdrifts)


Then I got older. I discovered their early albums, and immediately fell in love with "OK Computer" and "The Bends". I never really liked "Pablo Honey", though. It's a mediocre record with some nice hits, but nothing special.

[image loading]

MORE COOKIES!

"OK Computer" often is viewed as the ultimate Radiohead album, and I can understand this, because it combines the guitar-driven rock songs of the early years with all those complex structures and hiccups of the later years. For all of you, who never really got into Radiohead, "OK Computer" is definitely a good start. But there is more.

"Let's go down the waterfall, Have ourselves a good time, it's nothing at all" (I might be wrong)

Monotony. Sex. Pressure. Trapdoors. Bears.

[image loading]

(bears bears bears bears bears)

Neon lights. Panic. Vomit.
God loves his children.

Radiohead can save your life, too. Their music is transcendental. If they're playing in your country: Go to a concert. It's something you will never forget. They're the best live band on this planet.

"Some friend said Radiohead was boring, I showed him this, he never said it again.":

"I laugh until my head comes off. Women and children first." (Idiotheque)

I've seen it all. I'm home.


"I've no idea what you are talking about." (Bodysnatchers)

On videotape.

I don't know, man. I've really tried to get into Radiohead, but I just can't seem to like most of the stuff.

OK Computer > all

All the tracks on that one are AMAZING but I can't say the same for the others

Computer > Bends > Rainbows > Kid A > else

Lol I love music too but come on....

No they're not. No band can be the best band at anything because music is completely subjective. Sure if there's 2 extremes, like 1 guitar player learning how to play chords while the other is perfecting the Stairway to Heaven solo then we can say A>B but in cases like this it's impossible to say one band is the best because it's all a matter of personal preference. I hate it when people say stuff like this -_-. Go ahead and state "to me, Radiohead is the BEST EV3R" but don't proclaim them the best as if it's an objective fact.

Of course it's subjective. This is just an "I love Radiohead" blog entry. Blog entries are always subjective.

Tool and Porcupine Tree are also good bands.

There was an interview with thom yorke and one of the questions was about how there is a bunch of bands are doing ok commercially just trying to copy radioheads style

his response: good luck with ok computer

I love their music and how they keep developing musically yet staying 100% recognizable as radiohead

THE BEST band ever is an overstatement... Radiohead is good but not the best... i would suggest a change in the op... i do like radiohead but there are bands that are much better... Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and others...

Best current band with T.Yorke and Greenwood brothers.

You didn't write anything on The Bends, that's kind of awkward.
I am not good with quotes

agree with OP, radiohead is pretty much the best band in the world

unfortunately their most "popular" song (Creep) is HORRIBLE
god what an awful song

everything else past pablo honey is super good... I didn't like hail to the thief too much initially but it's grown on me.
