The Official Radiohead Thread

Someone should reset the poll. I'm sure 1 person would vote for TKoL...

I'm tempted, but then I think about how many times the poll votes will unnecessarily bump this thread and I think it's best if we don't.

Good point.

In Rainbows is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. Everything Radiohead has made is fantastic though. They never disappoint.

Ah!!! I've wondered why this thread has shown up on my subscribed topics and when i've gone to read the latest post found that it was one from days or weeks ago!! Also...does it really matter if it get's bumped a bit 'cause of that? I mean really!! Don't sweat the small stuff, man!!!!

The first song I checked out by them was "Creep" I quickly lost interest that song was the wrong place to start. :/ After a while my father brought up Radiohead because at that time I was listening mostly to The Smiths/The Cure/Pink Floyd & he said if I like those groups then I'd probably be into Radiohead as well. So I checked out their first album and liked a few songs but it wasn't great enough to get me into the group..
Then one day i seen the album art for "The Bends" (I'm not sure where exactly) but it made me want to check out that album and i became a fan of their sound and dug into all their albums...My favorite has to be "Kid A" every song I hear on that album is like a different world that i enter whenever i hear each song..
It feels so magical sometimes like if i have a bad day I can just listen to the music close my eyes & escape from it all....Anyways I always hear good things about everything they released but I feel that "Hail to the Thief" is a very slept on album I don't ever really hear much about it or major critical praise. It's an exceptional album front to back ..What would you consider an underrated album from this almost perfect group?

Absolutely, though it is a little lengthy for what a lot of people are used to in Radiohead. But I'd take it over the higher praised In Rainbows or OK Computer; although it can suffer some of the same issues of repetition or inconsistency, it does so to a much lesser extent and is a great bridging piece for their career.

You sound like me during my junior year of high school. Radiohead had just taught me the art of the "grower". Not only was I experiencing all those things you described, but I also felt like I "got" things in a way my friends didn't. Like they just couldn't understand the genius behind it.

My entire interest in music then became dedicated to finding that feeling. I will unashamedly admit that I credit Radiohead with broadening my taste... I felt if giving an album like Kid A a chance revealed such beautiful music, what else have I been missing out on that I simply disregarded?

Sadly, the luster of Radiohead's music has worn off over the years... I think I just became too familiar with their sound. I wish I could listen to them like I did back then. I still love em though.

Listening through In rainbows again...

If anyone has a top ten list of Radiohead songs, I expect Jigsaws falling into place to be in everyone's list
