The Official Radiohead Thread

Radioheads really dismal side is my favourite. Climbing up the Walls and Exit Music are so good, How To Disappear Completely is right up there too.

I'm giving Radiohead another chance, because my friend Kenny insists I should.

I didn't care for most of Pablo Honey other then two songs. The Bends is so far okay. I love High and Dry.

I'm listening to their entire disco wooo.

Can someone upload the bends? I'm missing like half the files and the songs are all mislabeled...

I thought they were the world's greatest band during the "Bends" and "Ok Computer". They were a band that could play soft and heavy within the same tune, which made them a throwback to the classic rock period. I think today, many modern bands try to mine the same musical vien, and are monochromatic, whereas RH was way more versatile. Unfortunately, they developed such an arrogant attitude, that they believed anything they did was brilliant, and lost all objectivity, and consequently released a series of albums that did nothing for me. Most recently, "Hail to to the Thief", can only be described as a difficult album, covering many musical styles, but failing to rein the album into a unifiying whole. Some of the songs are virtually unlistenalbe, which I never would have thought possible for a band that produced the first 2 mention albums. I thought if they would have focused more on the stoner rock sounds of "There, There", and used those rhythms and grooves throughout the album, they would have really had something.

I disagree
Those series of albums with unlistenable songs is what made me love them as much as I do. Before that I could take them or leave them. The fact they had the balls to do what they wanted is what appealed to me the most.
I don`t call it arrogance , I call it a brave move , alienating most of your fan base to make the music you want to make. I wish more bands had the guts to do it.
The first 2 albums in my opinion are their worst and sound extremely dated and i`m glad they don`t carry on retreading old ground from 10-15 years ago.
