How much do you love Radiohead?

[redqueen]

I am a fanatic. There is nothing they've done that I didn't love nearly immediately if not immediately. Same with Thom Yorke's solo stuff. I love love love it... all of it. I'm currently blissing out to In Rainbows.

I know some people don't like them... but I think most do, it's just a matter of how much. :7

So... how about you? How much do you love their stuff?

[XemaSab]

1. Even their stuff I don't like,

I just figure I'm too stupid to get. ;)

[redqueen]

3. Hahahah...

oh, I'm sure you know how often that's played out in discussion forums all over the world... but not as a joke! I've seen people nearly e-hyperventilate over that exact implication, whether overtly stated or not!

[nickgutierrez]

2. I'm somewhere between 2 and 3, I guess.

I like them a lot, but I guess I don't get the 'best band ever' hype. I've got probably five or six albums this year that I think (so far) are better than the new Radiohead, but I still think it's very good.

[redqueen]

4. Oooh which are the better ones, please?

I'm not about to launch into a music-snob tirade with bulleted points explaining why your OPINION is wrong (haw!)... I just wanna know, cause if I don't already know, I need to check 'em out!

[nickgutierrez]

10. In no particular order

The Shins, "Wincing the Night Away"
EL-P, "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" - I don't know how into hip-hop you are, though
Bishop Allen, "The Broken String" - maybe my favorite so far
Arctic Monkeys, "Favorite Worst Nightmare"
Menomena, "Friend and Foe"
Handsome Furs, "Plague Park"

:)

[redqueen]

13. I've heard some of it...

I like some hip hop, but EL-P isn't my thing... I've only listened to a couple, but I wasn't so impressed as the people who suggested I give a listen.

Thanks! :hi:

[MrCoffee]

5. Pablo Honey

was crap.

[redqueen]

6. So's ya face!

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

7. i never thought i'd see that posted on a "progressive" site

nice post, Mariah

[redqueen]

8. Oh and I guess YOU think you get to decide who's "progressive"

and who's not?

Is it time for the purge already? Do I get to keep my donkey pins and Democratic t-shirts, or will I have to turn those in, MrPURITY?!

[MrCoffee]

9. did you not hear? i'm the deciderer

now take off your shirt, you don't deserve to wear it.

[redqueen]

12. ...

:rofl:

[Initech]

11. Seen 'em twice in concert.

Once at the Hollywood Bowl and once at the Greek Theater. Both amazing shows.

[redqueen]

14. Ooooooooooooooooh

*sigh*

Someday I'll manage to get tickets.

[Parche]

15. Never Heard Of Them

Now Pink Floyd, U-2, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel rock............:hi:

[redqueen]

19. *sucks teeth*

GAWD grampa, get with the times, man!

[Parche]

24. Sh*t I Am Only 44............Geesh

*sucks what?* :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think I need a Heineken now.....................:hi:

[redqueen]

29. You know! That noise...

that disapproving noise... do it! Suck your teeth!

[Parche]

36. Me Mind Is On Other Sucking Noises

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[SteppingRazor]

16. Really, really dig the band. But...

Thom Yorke really needs to stop worrying so much about the robot wars and start writing lyrics that matter.

:popcorn:

[MrCoffee]

20. people are staring at me because i can't stop laughing

[SteppingRazor]

22. If you think that's funny...

30. hahahahahahaha

:P

[SteppingRazor]

32. The big Radiohead fans laugh harder at that than the people who hate the band.

:thumbsup:

[redqueen]

21. Don't walk the plank like I did

You will be dispensed with
When you've become
Inconvenient

[SteppingRazor]

31. Hey! Are you and Thom Yorke threatening me?!

Kidding aside, I really do like the band, and the one time I saw them live ranks among the best concerts I've ever seen -- and I've seen hundreds of'em.

[EnviroBat]

17. Seen them live a few times now...

Always thought they were one of the most innovative bands to come along in the last 20 years or so. Was in London the day Kid A was released. Didn't like it at first. Then I listened to it a few more time and it was a fantastic album. Didn't care for Hail to the Thief either. This new one is really good!

[redqueen]

25. Oooh I'm so jealous.

How can you not like Hail to the Thief?

2+2=5
Sail to the Moon
Backdrifts
Where I End and You Begin
The Gloaming
There There
I Will
A Punchup at a Wedding
Myxomatosis
Scatterbrain
A Wolf at the Door

Those are all very excellent... I'm trying to be unbiased here. :P

[EnviroBat]

33. Yeah, I may have to give it another chance...

Have you downloaded the new album yet?

[redqueen]

35. Have I?

I'm blissing out and have been for days now! :D

[EnviroBat]

42. Nothing like a litle "blissing out" now and then...

:hi:

[kid a]

18. fanatic here - gave them $30 for "in rainbows" to make up for

people who downloaded it for free for whatever reason.

Love the record!

[redqueen]

26. Mmmmmm...

Today I'm really digging Bodysnatchers, Nude, House of Cards... :9

[Throd]

23. Motorhead RULES!!!

The Ace of Spades! The Ace of Spades!

[SteppingRazor]

27. Lemmy Loves You

[redqueen]

28. You're drunk right now, aren't you?

:P

[Throd]

37. Maybe just a little

But I contend that an 11 inch tall mini-Lemmy could whup ass on a platoon of Thom Yorkes.

[redqueen]

39. Good thing for me I don't like brutes then.

:P

[DS1]

34. whoa. I'd forgotten I'd downloaded the new one.

time to fire up winamp

I enjoy OK Computer now and then, but that's all I really have

[redqueen]

40. Then YOU, my friend...

are missin out!

:bounce:

[Mojambo]

38. LOVED Pablo Honey. Couldn't get into the rest of their stuff. n/t

[redqueen]

41. See?

That's weird... I know a few people who say that same sort of thing... either they like the newer stuff but don't like The Bends/Pablo Honey... or vice versa.

I'm one of those who bought Pablo Honey, fell instantly in love, and NEVER looked back.
