GnR lives on Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 discuss anything from thom yorke, to the songs, to their uniqueness to w.e..i personally think they're quite possible the best band of the last decade....each of their albums is unique....i love yorke's voice...and they made paranoid android, creep, fake plastic trees, karma police and so so many other songs...let the discussion begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I like some of there stuff. Not really a fan though. I just purchased The Bends today, so I'll be listening to that in a little bit. I like most of In Rainbows, but it wasn't something I was crazy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hey I was about to make a topic about them and you beat me to it. nice one.I think thom Yorke is seriously one of the best songwriters around. Have barely listened to songs that are so beautiful sad. My Iron Lung is one of my favorite songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Power Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 After I came home from Roskilde, where I btw chose not, too see them live (I chose Hellacopters) I've started to absolutely LOVE Radiohead. Greatest band of our time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Radiohead are great! The Bends and OK Computer are both excellent albums. I think I'll get Pablo Honey in the near future, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young_person Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 All I have is In Rainbows. I liked it. Is Ok Computer a good place to start getting into their other stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've never seen the big deal, but to be fair I think I've only ever heard Creep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Rambler Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 They were my fav band when i was bout 13/14 round the time the bends came out. I still like em but i never listen to em anymore, kinda outgrown em if ya know what i mean. I remember i used to get given alot of shit for likin em back in the day.

krissirge Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 An awful awful band.Thom Yorke whiny voice makes me want to kick something.Their whole career can be summoned up by the line "I wish I was special", they try different things and still manage to fail each and every time.I should quit trying to give these guys a change a not listen to the new album when it comes out.A reason why you should never trust music critics.Of course,spending any time in the internet makes it look like Radiohead fans are a bunch of music snobs who take their music waaaaaaaaay to seriously.last.fm is filled with Radiohead cupcakes.In their eyes Radiohead is a beacon of light to intelligence and anybody who shows any kind of criticism is just wrong and should be shot.Stereotyping to the max ,but oh god ,its just music.if I want to listen to 90's British rock,I'd listen to Bush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I like that Amnesiac album and Hail to the Thief but can't take Yorke's eco-friendly lyrics - it's the 21st Century, let's smoke some Dairy Lea Triangles!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEARNING PROCESS Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) All I have is In Rainbows. I liked it.

Guest knerken Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Never got what the big deal about them is. The Bends is OK, the rest is meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Amazing band that may not be for everyone, but if they are for you ....you just know itSome consider Yorke whiny and annoying, I find him incredibly giftedGreat albums and Ok Oomputer may be one of the greatest complete albums I've ever owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justagroupie Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I absolutely love Radiohead.I have to admit I didn't quite like the band at first- Yorke's voice kind of grew onto me. Edited August 10, 2008 by Justagroupie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 apparently im one of the few who dont think they're any good.I'm with you. I don't like them at all and I really can't see how anyone can like them The vocals are horrible and the lyrics don't appeal to me in any way. Melodies are just sad in a lame way. That is my own opinion on it. This is one of very few types of music I can't manage to like, no matter how hard I try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
