The Official Radiohead Thread

[noelmanager]

I am a big fan of Radio Head...I must say he is genious lyrically, I love them all, no favs

[Drifting_Angel]

Hail to The Thief.. although I didn't get to thoroughly listen to the others...

Speaking of which my friends STILL has my radiohead

worship radiohead. theyve done to rock music in the 90s and beyond what the beatles did to music in the 60s.
favourite songs are street spirit, 2 + 2 = 5, creep, karma police, bones, there there, pyramid song and no surprises. OKcomputer is by far the best album of the last 20 years!

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

I almost had an orgasm when I heard them play A National Anthem live.

I'm still undecided on which is better - the bends or ok computer, my favourite song is Lucky from ok, but Street Spirit, High and Dry, Bullet Proof, etc make it hard to decide... they definitely lost it for amnesiac and kid a, especially kid a (although i respect the fact that they are broadening their horizons), but they regained some status with Hail To The Thief...

You don`t need to have a favourite , just like all of them.

I thought the Kid A & Amnseiac stuff was poor too but now they`re my favourite Radiohead albums. I think those 2 albums set them apart from the rest of the turgid crap like Coldplay , Starsailor & all those other imitation bands.

Could you really imagine a band like Coldplay who basically rip off Radioheads ballads coming out with something like Everything In It`s Right Place or Idioteque.

i think amnesiac is up there with OKcomputer and the Bends personally, with songs like the pyramid song, knives out and you and whos army its a class album. my iron lung is a good album to get if you havent already got it, the acoustic version of creep is just mind-blowing!

[droogpirate]

radiohead and shrooms are a perfect match, actually, their cd "i might be wrong" and shrooms are a perfect match...i almost went crazy when i heard ideoque (however it is spelled) in that state.....anyway, ideoque is certainly my favorite radiohead song

[zerophyte]

all their albums cater for different tastes, so if ure a person who just likes music in general, then Radiohead are the band for u alrite... Yeah, amnesiac is a fair album but Pulk/Pull and Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Dollars and Cents, Spinning Plates? big mistakes IMO... Packt doesnt do the album much good either. a good album has to be strong right the way through.

I like those songs BECAUSE they`re not your typical guitar rock bollocks.
