Anyone seeing Radiohead this summer?

They are headlining the All Points West festival but there is absolutely noone else playing that I care to see. Might have to break down and go anyway.

Listening to the "Bends" on my Ipod today. Possibly my favorite CD of the last 20 years. Anyone who says "OK Computer" is Radiohead's best is hugely mistaken as far as I am concerned.

Kid A

Amnesiac is right up there too

As much as I fell in love with OK Computer when it came out, i tend to agree with you that Bends is better, if only by a little...It has better "singles" and more mass appeal. OK Computer is great as a "total" album, but doesn't really have any upbeat stuff to pull the melodies out of the depressing alienation the album underlines.

Pretty awesome 1-2 punch, even if they were issued 4 years (or so) apart...

I'll be seeing them in August.

Kid A is my favorite of the Radiohead records, though OK Computer, The Bends, and In Rainbows are all close behind. Then Hail To The Thief, Amnesiac, and finally Pablo Honey. Not a huge Pablo Honey fan - I'd throw a number of the EPs in front of it as well, honestly.

nope

Please esplain?

radiohead... LOL

Radio what? You posers still listen to that Coldplay-sounding crossover shit? I thought there were some seriously hip posters here. I guess I was wrong.

worst band of the past 20 years by a long shot.

Why bring your hate into a thread like this? What are you 18 going on 6? Enjoy the music you like and let other people enjoy what they like.

What are you trying to say? Just because I don't listen to what you do, I can't have an opinion on music? I don't give a crap what people think about me based on what music I like. Maybe that is the problem with music today. Everyone is listening to what they think everybody likes instead of actually enjoying the music for themselves.

Don Giovanni LOL

Music everyone else likes? To be a decent music fan, you can't like music other people have heard of. My favorite music is recorded with dog whistles.

I agree.. I was a huge Jandek fan, untill he started making public appearances and doing concerts.. then, what was like, the point?

LOL @ radio head

why bring hate into the thread? i don't know, something about people liking radiohead being the lowest common denominator out there, and my enjoyment of outing the lowest common denominators. you have absolutely no right to like "whatever music you like" lol. there is good music, and there is bad music, plain and simple. if you don't get that I feel sorry for you.


but by all means, keep listening to the great band "radiohead." haha.

QFT. I've had it up to my cunt with this Relativism bollocks. There's a reason there are still radio stations dedicated to Foghat and Gold Erring, 30-some-years later. It was the peak of music.

Dar-diddy-dar -- Dang-dang dang! YES! ROCK!

So many levels.

oh no.. there goes Toyko oh know Godzilla!

If anything Coldplay is Radiohead-sounding crossover shit. At least Radiohead does some interesting stage stuff. Coldplay is just boring.

To understand you correctly, just because I like someone who has put out a record means I am not a true music fan. I learned early on that people who judge what music other people listen to are TRULY not a TRUE music fan

Are you serious? Stop being the music police. You sound like an idiot

Stop being the stop being the music police police. it makes you sound like a double plus idiot.

LOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!




Aren't you the doofus who said the Beatles weren't "all that" in the Zep thread? 'Nuff said, Mr. Zero Credibility



You're probably doing this to stir up shit, but it won't win you any friends, cockbreath.

This topic delivers.

radiohead: not that great

I think that was Don Giovanni.

I also think this is a good time to state, once again, that Tool Sucks. I am not saying this with Irony. I'd 100x rather listen to Justin Timberlake or Fergie than Tool. This isn't a level.

Stop beign the idiot who makes 12,000+ posts in any site no matter how good it is

I cannot wait to see how this topic ends.

Tool does suck. Not that there is anything wrong with that

whatever dude you're the one going around liking all the coooool music so everybody will like you. I like the music that is SUPPOSED to be good not what mtv tells me I should like like they do with radiohead. I've seen the commercials, I'm not stupid.


shouldn't you be listening to that OK Computer crap and not posting so much? how the hell can your ears not bleed when you hear that? I mean "fitter happier"? really? that's not even a song!

Yes, you are right, but Sal's credibility is still nil with me for his faux-hate of Radiohead




Leave BigD alone on this one. He's being e-ronic (the ironic interweb-style) i think...




I concur. Primus blows ass also, as does Phish and any other band that records tunes simply because they farted and it sounded good...

Stop being the idiot who thinks so literally he gets owned repeatedly, again and again, and doesn't know why or how.

And you listen to...<fill in the blanks so I can mock your music face>

Radiohead is an amazing band. Each CD is completely individual. Reckoner is an amazing song that I can listen to all day.

Coldplay was good for one album and then became stale.

I like tool.

I don't like Primus.

So much hate on this board.

Primus and Phish, not my cup of tea ( though I do have a tiny bit of sentimentality with primus). But the difference is, Primus and Phish have fun. They don't take themselves uber-seriously.. their fan bases may suck, and their music may be boring ,but at least you don't get some primus fan going on and on and on for hours about how deep les claypool is, how "wynonna's big brown beaver" follows a Fibonacci sequence with it's time signature, and Phish heads don't cut themselves to Bouncing around the room. Tools music just makes me want to commit homicide, it is utterally insufferable.

You wouldn't have heard of anything Sal listens to. Try setting your radiohead cD on fire, record it, and then play it backwards. That's what sal listens to, baby.. he listens to freedom.

see, bigd knows my taste.

I might be clueless and I might get owned but I don't give a f..k

that's obvious, you listen to radiohead.

Since you are the expert on the subject, can you explain to me who is good music? I just might learn something . A crap list would also be appreciated.

I bow down to your genuis and eagerly wait your response

Funniest thing I've heard al day...




Dude, they are just winding you up because you are Thom Yorke's bumboy. :-D

This thread is awesome.

Right now I'm into indigenous australian Bunggul and Kun-borrk, featuring instruments like Didgeridoos and aboriginal percussion. It's legitimately spiritual music. If you're really interested in it, I suggest starting with Colored Stone ( traditional Aboriginal music fused with regae) or maybe some of Jimmy Little's more traditional stuff ( he's had an epic career, spanning all sorts of genres, so there's alot of crap, but he's done plenty of traditional music, it's a good introduction to Aboriginal music)

pfffff dog whistles. i'm only listening to aboriginal sumatran percussion bootlegs these days.

that's so 2006

2007 really, but I WAS JUST TESTING YOU. what i'm REALLY about is live sound/word art/bird sound description installations accompanied by photographs/video works/modern dance ET AL.

I get it. But who is this Yorke person you are referring to

maybe you weren't listening till 2007, you fad-hopping muppet.

were you Mr Zimmerline?
