Man...it blew me away, it's my unquestionable favorite. How to Disappear, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Kid A, Optimistic, Treefingers, In Limbo, Idioteque....I love it all.

These both sound like good albums then. As I said, though, I often don't harshly judge music. Unless it's Country or Rap.

Double X: Well sir, I must say I disagree. Blue's list of songs is pretty radical, but I'd also throw in National Anthem, it's pretty heavy. The opener, Everything In Its Right Place is a good track also. I don't know how'd you see it as boring, though, unless you just can't stand downbeat music.

Yes, pretty much every one of the non-conceptual tracks are unbelievable apart from maybe Optimistic which stands out a bit. The rest are, well, conceptual, and do their job very nicely.

Radiohead to Testify Against the RIAA | TorrentFreak

You gotta love these guys.

[Neil Loots]

Well, I must say that I became a fan of Radiohead quite late. So although I knew of the band's seminal 90's albums, and was aware of their major singles (how could you live through the nineties and not), I only really bagan appreciating them when I heard "In Rainbows". I have subsequently enjoyed their most celebrated albums more than I did originally. For this reason, my favourite work of theirs has to be "In Rainbows". Also, I feel that this album is less heavy handed (although it is in certain respects still heavy-handed in terms of its message/s) than "Kid A," for example.

I only enjoy Radiohead in small doses. The ouevre gets rather whiney and becomes rather too self-serious/self-important when it is listened to incessantly, IMO. More self-lacerating humour, or intellectual humour, or "something" more/less would be in order on their future albums, IMO. They should crack a smile, even if it is a self-reflexive giggle rather than a parodic guffaw.

Radiohead to Testify Against RIAA? // Current

According to a Radiohead spokesperson, "No member of Radiohead has any plans to testify in this trial, [but] there was an informal meeting between the defense attorney and one of the band's managers." Sorry to blow the courtroom fantasy, guys.

Ignore him Surell, Exit Music is one of the finest songs in their discography. I don't actually listen OK Computer in full as much as you'd all think, but every time I do I come away amazed.
