radiohead vs. every other band on earth

[WayneGibbous]

^I know who you voted for.

One thing I meant to say before is that their material hasn't been that whiny lately. My biggest beef was that it was a proving ground for Thom Yorkes obsession with electronica and DJ Shadow nutriding. Their newest album (and the bonus disk 2 is a must hear) is devoid of all that crap and is just a natural, organic rock album for the most part. Very original and almost effortless. Listen to 'Down Is the New Up' and tell me it's not a dope track...

[kunk75]

^yes, most definitely.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

get the fuck out of here

[WayneGibbous]

Built To Spill? SMH hard

[panicnation]

Sportsfreak just hasn't released his basement demo tapes yet.

[sybaritical]

I find Kid A extremely pleasing and also enjoy that other song about aliens abducting Thom Yorke cos he's uptight.

Even if they aren't, Radiohead seem to do a good job of appearing normal. At least I'm thankful they mostly stay out of the media and rely on solid work instead of boring and sordid lifestyles to maintain their popularity, unlike all of the other popular British artists.

Edit: Panic, that girl in your sig still deserves a serious punishment IMO.

Hah lets not forget "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by UNKLE, since you mentioned DJ Shadow. I mean, that's already a collaboration right there.

I agree with you though with the 2nd disc of In Rainbows, in fact I enjoy the bonus disc a lot more than the album itself. The only thing about it though is a lot of it strikes me as Thom Yorke songs yanno, not much of a full band experience. Half of them can be performed in some way by Thom alone, which he has done so already.

EDIT: Just had to chime in and say I'm surprised that 4 pages into this topic, nobody has yet to vote for the John Mayer option which I think is pretty funny.

[WayneGibbous]

thom yorke is the only dick in radiohead. all the rest of the band are very normal, down to earth guys. especially colin and phil.

[kunk75]

^phil is the nicest musician i've ever met.

[U MAD]

USUALLY I GET INTO CONCERTS, EVEN IF I DONT LIKE THE ARTIST'S MUSIC, BECAUSE I GET INTO THEIR PERFORMANCE AND ENERGY. THERE WAS NO ENERGY WHEN THEY PLAYED. WET TURD MUSIC. FUCK BUILT TO SPILL.

[kunk75]

Now HERE is a performance:

y1WusC956-E

Clue:

Baaaahhhnds suck.

Honestly, I'd like to just sit down and listen to some good music at a practical volume instead of being forced to stand among retards and women who don't want any of my shit while we're forced to watch idiots prance around the stage pretending to "cut loose" while their shitty music blows my eardrums and not my mind. Music should be good enough. Some idiot hopping around and acting out shouldn't be a requirement for a good show.

[kunk75]

burzum reunion should be good.

i mean for fucks sake, those fucking boise dumbfucks just stand there like the husky pale toolbags that they are... fuck that midwest indie shit, i hate it all. hate it.

this is a fucking band right here. this is a fucking performance.

[onemancult]

that stop-start rhythm in the beginning and the notes the girl is trying to hit would make for a really great tune in the right hands.

[onemancult]

from now on im only listening to this:

[im sort of not kidding, this video is amazing]

[kunk75]

"Radiohead is annoying. Even the most ardent fan of their music must agree to this. It is not opinion but fact. They are annoying. When I went to download In Rainbows (free music = cannot overlook [i haven't paid for a Radiohead album since OK Computer, why start now?]) I was greeted by the picture at the top of the article. It is not exclusively this that annoys me about Radiohead but it is a great overall representation of their more grating habits.

Radiohead's kind of like the Dethklok of the real world. They live hidden away from the general public. They are completely non-functional as normal people (so it would seem, I've never met them [but I'm referring only to Thom here]) and they release albums at random to thunderous response. They pretend like they don't want to record an album, that they wish they could just make EPs and tour sporadically.

AND YET! When they finally put a new album out, they are modest enough to release it at any price on their website. What non-annoying people, right? WRONG! You fool! Look at the title of the journal! Of course they're annoying! When they release the album, It's not enough to say "In Rainbows, by Radiohead." The only way to correctly convey the title of this album, recorded, hyped and released in such a low-key manner, is "RA D IOHE_AD IN RAINBOWS/ IN RAIN_BOWS IN/RAINBOWS" FUCK YOU, RADIOHEAD"

Saw this somewhere. I agree.
