sweet_nothing if I made you a Radiohead compilation would you download it? I think you'd like if you heard the right songs.

yeah but I couldn't listen to it because my itunes is all ***. So just tell me which album to get...

Or you could wait until i-tunes regains its heterosexuality?

agreed with this.

Yeah, thats same with me too, like when I first heard Elliott Smith, I really didn't like it too much at all, and it took me a while before I actually did fully appreciate it, and now he's like my favorite ever. Same with Patrick Wolf and The Magnetic Fields.
Radiohead on the other hand, I actually fell in love with first listen, although for most people I know, Radiohead were definitely more of a grow-on-you type band.

Yeah, Radiohead was pretty immediate with me as well. All it took was Paranoid Android and i was hooked.

With me it has to be love at first listen, I don't want to have to listen over & over again until I like.

You should go for Ok Computer, Sweet_Nothing. Spin named it Best Album of the 90's awhile back.

Sweet Nothing you may want to try The Bends as well, if you like Oasis you may like it as it has the same mid-90's feel to it. (thats the best way i could describe it).

^There's alot to be said for the immediacy of certain artists, and if something gets me like that it tends to be within my musical/intellectual comfort zone - however there's so much music I just couldn't stomach when I was 16, 18, whatever, that is just so obviously brilliant to me now.
