Radiohead isn't something you can force on yourself. I got into them pretty young, and they've steadily grown on me ever since. Their music really infects you, unlike anything I've known, musically speaking. glyo, PM me and I'll give you a list of say, 10~ radiohead songs to give a second chance to. I think they'll change your mind with repeat listenings. | ||

Nirvana made music better. Radiohead made music shittier. For me it's that straight forward. edit2: The problem with Radiohead is that they gained their greatest commercial success following the release of some of their least accessible music. Any music fan can love The Bends, but something like Kid A turns off a lot of people. | ||

They are popular and critically accliamed, clearly not bad even though they arn't your preference. But on topic, when I started listening to radiohead I hated them. I heard 1 or 2 songs I liked and a couple that set me off them. Some of those songs that set me off are now my favorites. If you're just starting to get into them listen to The Bends, OK Computer and Hail to the Thief. They are definately the easiest albums to start to like, but I would contend kid a is better and amnesiac just as good. I've never even listened through pablo honey. | ||

Maybe you'll like the songs as much as I do (probably not, I'm a total geek about this band), but atleast it will give you a frame of reference as to where I'm coming from. | ||

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Nirvana sucked ass, too, for the record. | ||

I mean, I really, really like nirvana, but if you think they made music in general better, like the way bob dylan did, you're just stupid, and if you think radiohead made music worse, you should probably go shoot yourself. They're both amazing bands. | ||

Creep (this song is good, not great, but without there is no radiohead) from The Bends: Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit and maybe The Bends/Planet Telex OK Computer: Airbag, Paranoid Android, Exit Music (For a Film), Karma Police, Climbing up the Walls, Fitter Happier and for my teacher I included Subterranian Homesick Alien (hes a huge Bob Dylan fan.) Kid A, I'd love to include the whole thing but I just selected the more 'accessible' tracks for new listeners + idioteque(which I used to hate but now completely love.) Everything in its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque and maybe Motion Picture Soundtrack. Amnesiac: Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Life in a Glasshouse. Hail to the Thief: 2+2=5, There There, Wolf at the Door. Thats a shaved down listen, I'll probably shave it down more, too. Hmm, I can't resist to share what my favorite songs are: Street Spirit, Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Climbing up the Wall, Everything in its Right Place, Idioteque (just my two favorite from kid a I like the whole thing a lot), Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Can, Knives Out, Spinning Plates, Sit Down Stand Up, There There, Myxomatosis, Wolf at the Door, True Love Waits and The Amazing Sounds of Orgy. exhaustive list... top 3 = Idioteque, Everything in its Right Place and True Love Waits. | ||
