I downloaded the whole Radiohead discography since everybody says they're so awesome.

I didn't like them much...

I've found that if I listen to anything enough, I'll start to like it.

I hated NIN the first time I started listening to them. Now they're up there with my other favorite bands.

hmmm...

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.

why would you say something so inflammatory? 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.

I'm going to make and upload a playlist of my favorite radiohead songs.

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 was actually creating a list of "essential radiohead songs" for my english teacher to listen to, he's also heard a lot about them and wants to hear some of their stuff. Here are the songs I'm thinking to put in it.

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.

I downloaded the Towering Above the Rest collection a few days ago and I've just started sorting through the b-sides (most of which I've found on limewire) and the massive amount of unreleased material. A lot of its supremely good, but I don't know if its essential to getting started in radiohead.

Also :

Can someone explain to me why all the music radiohead has made since (and including) Kit-A has sucked? Some of it sounds like they've got a couple downies in charge of writing the music...

When I first started listening to Radiohead, it was Paranoid Android (because of the map in starcraft, lol), and at first, I hated most of their other songs. The next song I found I liked was Creep. Eventually picked up OK Computer, didn't listen to many of the songs on it, but eventually, I listened to more and more of the album, and the music just grew on me. I can't really explain it any other way.

Now it's so 'bad' that I can't find a Radiohead song I don't like ~_~;

They definitely got more 'out there' as their albums kept going on, but ironically, it's those albums that ended up being the better ones for me. The whole process of going through the groups music was a giant paradox in the end.

I honestly think he was just getting some stuff out of his system, especially considering some of the new radiohead songs.

I think Analyse and Skip Divided are good songs though.

well, thom yorke and co. are a fairly 'weird' bunch. They seen themselves being imitated again after OK Computer and Thom Yorke said in interviews he began to hate his voice because it. (I know this is strange, but this is apperantly how the man thinks.) This along with there love of electronic music made them want to try something different, and they did. I used to loathe Kid A/Amnesiac, but after about 6 months since the first few attempts to listen to them something clicked and I began to love them and gradually over the last year I've started to love the two albums. Hail to the Thief is pretty easy listening to anyone into rock or metal, iunno why you wouldn't like it if you like OK Computer.

Big fan of Radiohead. It's a band that for the most part you have to appreciate gradually. If i had heard Kid A right away, i would have said ''wtf is this band''. The bends, Ok computer and 2-3 songs of Pablo Honey are more accessible. Hail to the Thief was also fairly decent. The electronic period (Amnesiac-KidA) was simply because, unlike so many other bands, they decided to try other stuff, instead of sticking to the same stuff over and over.


As for Thom Yorke, is album was quite good, in particular ''The Eraser'' and ''The Clock''.

Anyone knows when Radiohead's next album is schedualed?
So i did a 9 pool on an island map, so what?

"why would you say something so inflammatory? They are popular and critically accliamed, clearly not bad even though they arn't your preference."

It doesn't suck ass. You don't enjoy it, but you should respect it. To draw example from a far more acclaimed and popular piece of art, I do not enjoy the Mona Lisa. Do I respect it? Certainly.

its disgusting that you would so thoughtless try to agitate people. If you tried to qualify your opinion I could respect you as more than a shit disturber, but you haven't even attempted to. You've just trampled on a respected band with no fucking reason.

goddamn tools.

I hate lists and bull shit competitions such as these. Who cares, the opinions that matter the most are other musician's opinions as they know what the art better than anyone else. So why argue in circles about such frivolous things? People need to get hobbies.

Meh, I'm <less> drunk now than I was when I wrote that post, but I suppose I should at least make an effort to explain myself:

Radiohead is a band that caters to the music snob. They made music worse by giving these vile creatures something to latch on to - something with critical and commercial success that somehow validated their existence as a whole. Radiohead didn't, directly, make music worse - but they made the world of music much harder for a music fan to tolerate.

Nirvana on the other hand, opened us up to a world we would have never seen. There is a reason Nevermind is the most important album of the 90s. No Nevermind = no Pearl Jam (Alive), no Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger/Superunknown), no grunge movement at all. Grunge, as a definition, is meaningless, as the bands at the time weren't into any kind of 'movement' - but the music that came out of Seattle at the time has as much of an influence on the rock of today as anything else. Had Nevermind not blown up out of nowhere, none of the other pioneering bands of the area would have been given a second look. Nevermind made the grunge scene. The grunge scene made modern rock.

On the other hand, OK Computer is just another Radiohead album. Big fucking deal.

And as for Bob Dylan - perhaps I shouldn't argue with a guy who has a Dylan track as his TL.net ID, but I feel that in owning every album/bootleg/live cut/B-side I can get my hands on gives me some insight into the man - he didn't change music. He brought decent song writing into the mainstream but he didn't do anything that others weren't already doing out of the spotlight. Saying Bob Dylan 'changed music' is like saying Elvis Presley 'invented rock and roll'. There is a big difference between changing/inventing and simply making something a bit more accessible. And I say this as a MASSIVE Dylan fan.

But then again I'm stupid and should shoot myself.

No, there's something wrong with people who like them... terrible band.


why would you say something so inflammatory? 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.


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

My sentiments exactly.


"why would you say something so inflammatory? They are popular and critically accliamed, clearly not bad even though they arn't your preference."

It doesn't suck ass. You don't enjoy it, but you should respect it. To draw example from a far more acclaimed and popular piece of art, I do not enjoy the Mona Lisa. Do I respect it? Certainly.

its disgusting that you would so thoughtless try to agitate people. If you tried to qualify your opinion I could respect you as more than a shit disturber, but you haven't even attempted to. You've just trampled on a respected band with no fucking reason.

goddamn tools.

Sure I respect them. I respect the fact that they write there own stuff. I respect that they are diffrent from other bands. I respect the sole fact that they are music makers in a day and age where corporate America pumps out trash album after trash album after trash album.

"My sentiments exactly" was more based on his last statement about being popular doesn't make you good and is more towards Nirvana because I really don't know Radiohead so well. I just think that Kurt Cobain and Nirvana are given too much credit for bad music. When I say bad music I mean what is bad to me, so other people might think its great music. When I say bad music though I mean it doesn't sound good, it isn't even slightly catchy, and the lyrics sound like some "has marbles in their mouth" to quote Werid Al Yankovic. I know they "changed" music but to make a comparison of Rollingstones vs. The Beatles is the same as Nirvana vs. Radiohead is complete crap in my opinion.

Im a little too drunk to form a huge argument right now, but flaccid:

1. radiohead has never catered to fans or snobs. they've shunned every chance they've been given to repeat a commercially successful formula. the fact that so called "music snobs" have latched on to them should in no way be a reflection on them.

2. Nevermind may have certainly introduced grunge to mainstream, but it was not exactly pioneering. Not only were many other bands making this kind of music before nirvana, nirvana wore it's countless blatant influences on its sleeve. nevermind benefited greatly from the musical climate, and i think its reputation grows heavily from that, as opposed to objective musical merit.

I never bought or deliberately listened to the radiohead album they're talking about, but I gotta say something about nevermind: I liked it a lot more when I was younger and hadn't been exposed to a whole lot of music. It's still good for the occassional listen, but these days the non-stop powerchords relatively flat vocal screeching gets old in a hurry.

I'm glad WMP comes with a playlist shuffle option, that's all I'm saying.

I'm not arguing, and that statement was directed at the article. It inferred(spelling) that this was a worthy competitor to the old Beatles vs. Rollingstones. In which the Beatles win hands down

Edit: And yes 2:00 in the mrning is to early for music discussion or late whichever way you look at it.

The most ridiculous thing about this is no one even seems to be in consensus on which album of the two bands is the best. Stupid magazine article.

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.



I don't think radiohead are good because they are popular, and I don't think they are good because they are not popular. I think they are good because they are:

highly innovative and original
unbelievably poignant and emotional
lyrically sophisticated and complex (as contrasted with, say, Coldplay -_-
catchy while being "inaccessible" at times
possessing of incredible range and breadth and yet maintaining an extremely personal vision
ridiculous in concert
long-lasting and transcendent of trends
nostalgic, sentimental, dramatic and evocative without being even slightly cheesy
one of two bands that has ever made me cry (corny, but still true, and to me at least, a mark of great achievement. I never cry outside of a theater.

I would put Mellon Collie up there with these two.

OK Computer is strides better than Nevermind. Though as I mature a little bit I am not blindly hating Nirvana like I use to.

I think Thom Yorke's album is excellent, especially the title track, which i listen to 10 times a day. I just want to offer another perspective on radiohead-loving, which is apparently much different than a lot of others' experiences. I had heard some of the OK computer stuff, and liked it but didn't feel urgently about it. When someone burned me a copy of Kid-A, I flipped the fuck out and got a copy of everything they've done that I could find. For me, their best album is Amnesiac.

I didn't start liking their early work until I understood it through the lens of kid-a/amnesiac.

And that is why we call it a subjective response. Many people would disagree. You cannot argue the fact that they pushed the wheel and kept reinventing themselves. Some people listen for the music/beat others the poetry/verse.

You guys are missing something here. You don't get popular for nothing. I don't think you understand their music that well at all. =_-

I don't like OK Computer at all but Kid A is the most important album for me by far.It completely changed my taste in music and shifted me really away from mainstream. So I've started to search my own music and experimenting with a lot of other kinds of music , and now i listen everything obscure and i haven't watched any music tv or listened radio for like 5 years. So currently i really don't know the most hot singers and stuff. Just give me my Nick Cave and i'm happy. And now i'm shifting more and more towards jazz.
Kid A started it all.

Cobain was a really good songwriter (in the sense that he could write something catchy), but FWIW the songs are fairly basic... personally I find Nirvanas replay value to be relatively low. I also agree with those who say in cootero was the better album.

I do think people often overestimate how innovative Radiohead have been, though. Their albums and influences are diverse, and I respect them for that. But what exactly have they done that has never been done before? I thought their sound on OK Computer was pretty amazing, but their producer (Nigel Godrich) had alot to do with that... just listen to Beck's Sea Change and you will hear what is essentially the same production.

To their credit, it's incredibly hard to really be innovative in music anymore, and even then, innovation has less to do with the actual writing of music (classical pretty much took care of that for western music before popular music came about) and MUCH more to do with the sound of the production or crap like guitar playing techniques.

"Best" is a retardedly subjective term to describe/compare music with, but if you think Radiohead and Nirvana are the most talented bands or put out the most amazing records in the 90s, consider trying out Mr Bungle's last 2 albums.. for me it's not even close.

Beck's Sea Change came out -02 and Ok Computer -97.
That's five years. And I've listened to both the record several times and really can't see what you mean by they sounding the same

Personally i love KidA far more then Ok Computer.

From what I have heard I think Radiohead is a very overrated band...some of the songs on OK computer are just dull and pretentious.
I do like Kid A a bit more though and especially "everything in it's right place" gives me the chills everytime I listen to it.

Seems like people either think Radiohead are godlike or trash.

Nirvana never did much for me, I got into hardcore and straight edge at the time instead and I couldn't stand all the hype about Nirvana.

im guessing your top few bands include the likes of creed and lamb of god or something. once again, rolling stone has proved themselves to be absolutely retarded by comparing ok computer and nevermind, two totally different albums on two entirely different levels. MAYBE bends vs. nevermind, but ok computer? wtf?

thom yorke's album is awesome. i wasn't a huge fan at first, but it grew on me (like radiohead does as well).

I fell in love with OK Computer before the rest of radiohead's albums, but share a similar story with The Bends, as i didn't enjoy it at all until i was a huge fan of the rest of their albums.

And similarly, i didn't really enjoy Kid-A until i fell in love with Hail to the Theif.

I've always liked Amnesiac and OK Computer though.

Life in a Glass House is propably the most emotional/touching song of theirs (at least for me). For that reason it's my favourite. (however, it's pretty much a tie with like 20 other of their songs).

This is so subjective, it all depends on personal opinion. It's like comparing apples with oranges. Im a huge Nirvana fan myself so my opinion is definitely biased, but i think Nevermind is the most significant album in rock music for the last 30 years. That album basicly killed a whole genre in rock music which ruled the airwaves for a decade and completely changed the face of music.

I like Radiohead a lot, but i dont think the band itself or the album OK Computer had an impact on music even remotely close to what Nirvana's Nevermind had.

But then again thats just my personal opinion.

Right... my point was that their producer was responsible/deserves more of the credit, and not as much the band themselves although it isnt exactly a black and white thing and I didnt watch them record it so I'm not 100%.

I didnt mean the records on the whole sounded the same... I'm saying the production of the records sounds very similar. That was just what struck me about sea change when I first heard it, and when I found out godrich was involved it made alot of sense to me.

who the fuck cares what kind of impact music has on a genre? I hear this alot of time when comparing bands of music, and i just don't get why anyone cares. It's ART. You either like it, or you don't.

This is true to a certain extent, but influence can be a good way of judging the artistic merit of a work other than by it's mainstream popularity, because if an album was influential, musicians (ie people who know about and probably listen to a lot of music) thought it was good enough to style their own works after. Ultimately personal opinion is what matters most when it comes to choosing what music you *continue* to listen to, but influence can be a good way of finding new music to try .

Even though I like radiohead overall a lot more than Nirvana, I'd vote nevermind. OKC is an overrated pile.

I read somewhere, that the line "I gave it all I could but we're still on the payroll" in Karma Police refers directly to the fact that they "tried to make unpopular music" (at least they didn't care), but they wound up selling thousands of albums. OK Computer already is far from commercial and that Kid A and Amnesiac sold like they did is incredible. It's not playable on radios, not in clubs, I can't imagine to whom you could sell this. But when they published Kid A they were already like Metallica (comparing Kid A to Load). It didn't matter if you liked their albums, when they made a new CD the fans bought it, and, it appears, most learned to like them. Load howver got shitty critiques whereas OK Computer was hailed as one of the best albums ever. by any band.

this is laughable. Nirvana were a phenomenom just like the Beatles were. They didn't last as long though. And what did Led Zeppelin do? (not intending to flame, tell me please.)

btw Wikipedia has a nice article about OK Computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Computer

Radiohead is so way above Nirvana it's a joke that these two are even compared. While Nirvana had a burst of popularity amongst emo teens from '91 to '94, they didn't have any staying power (ofc Kobain), and also did not influence/inspire many other except copycat bands. Radiohead has given birth to various styles of music, just compare 'paranoid android' and 'karma police' to their later work 'kid a' and 'amnesiac'. Artistic value is just way higher.

There is too much subjectivity that comes with Art/Music why bother arguing? It goes back and forth... I'd like to hear some objective thoughts. Lets be academic in here Gawd.

'Subjective remarks are bullshit. We don't want to hear your bullshit. Until you hit 70-80... only then can you have your own opinions. Right now you aren't entitled to one.'

From my cinema prof. Fucking brilliant man. Cut away all the bullshit and get to the root of the matter. Both bands had influential merit as they open the flood gates to many bands. What did they do that no one else did? How did they 'break the code' in their own genres respectively? Prove your worth.

Nirvana - Nevermind easy for me.
But this cant be discussed since it's only a matter of taste.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

Nirvana wasn't popular amoung emo teens, especially since Nirvana is comepletley different than emo music, especially emo in the late eighties and early nineties (bands like Fugazi and Rites of Spring defined emo back then). Grunge is completley different. Cobain was a stellar lyricist and songwriter. Maybe his music wasn't as "different" as Radiohead's, but it was still pretty fucking good, and it launched an entire genre. To say Nirvana has no staying power is an equally ridiculous. A poignant song in the 90's is still a poignant song today.

Just in case some of you didn t know the sites, site 1 and site 2 provide a lot of live mp3 with lot of new songs as well : videotape, 15 step and bodysnatchers are all going to be amazing on the album

(note : it's legal stuff as the band itself advertised on the websites during the 2006 tour :o )

Radiohead is realy something which cant be explained, and cant be imposed to anybody. I still dont know what bring me to it... That is nothing comparable to any other band. I really liked Nirvana when i was younger, but thats not even a match.

As for the albums, i feel a lot like mora explained. I fell directly in love with OKC and Amnesiac, thought the later's not so easy to get. I think its hugely due to 'Life in a glass house', which killed me when i heard it first time. Then i discovered and loved The bends.

I still have dificulties to fully enjoy KID A though, apart from some tracks which are fabulous.

About HTTT, i still think its hugely underrated. Maybe as a whole album he's not so strongly built than the previous ones, but these songs............................. 'I will' is a masterpiece, and probably their most moving song in my opinion. 'A wolf at the door' is genious, 'There there', '2+2=5', 'Sail to the moon', 'Punchup', 'Where I end and you begin' and so on...

Also i think their music is so large that nobody will ever agree on which tracks or albums are the best. Im currently discovering all the b-sides and lives, and so many are incredible. True love waits, Polyethylene 1&2, How i made my millions, FOG ( live piano version ;| ), How can you be sure, Banana co, Like Spinning Plates Live or I will LA version... I could continue but theres no point.

I cant wait for the new one to be out

Obviously wasn't serious. Just that music discussions never seem to get erm... interesting.

I never said I didn't know who they were. I said I never heard it. I don't listen to bands or rock music derivatives anyways.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
