Yes, but it has been a lifelong affliction that I have not liked Radiohead. I even bought Pablo Honey on a friends say-so and ended up throwing it in the trash. Once again I am not knocking them but I just don't see it

I think radiohead suck. I've borrowed the album 'The Bends' off one of my friends. And in my opinion, only the title song is any good. It's certainly not music I'd listen to.

Took me about 18 months to like it.I didn`t play it all the time just once every few months , everytime I did I found something else on it I liked & it just grew from there really.

Still , not enough for me to put it on the Urban 100

i agree that Ok Computer is Radioheads best album,but do i think its amazing album NO.. i'm fan of them but i don't love them by any means..i adore a nice few of there songs, and would love to see them live, but i can say that about loads of bands.. to me there isn't really anything super special about this album.. the band is different and have good lyrics, good instrument playing.. and the singer has a good intersting whinning voice, but not annoying.. but that album to me just isn't the greatest thing..

Some people prefer The Bends as it is more indie influenced and has more famous singles. I certainly wouldn't write them off if you don't like Ok Computer.

explosions-in-my-pants · 02-16-2006, 12:32 PM

oh no not at all.. there still a good band but in my case of likeing them i don't like every single song all any every of there albums and with every band i like i nomaly like almost every single song on at least one album.. but with them no.. more like i like a few songs on each album.. some of them sound so much alike..

OK computer is an album thats beauty lies in its subtlety. its not a processed, wham-bam-thank-you-maam piece that will grab you buy the bollocks immediatly, but give it time and patience..you'll notice the brilliance of it. of course subtley isnt everybodies cup of tea, some people like their music simple and to the point- two characteristics this album most definetly is not. but how can an album that has the songs "paraniod android", "exit music (for a film)", "karma police", "no surprises" and "lucky" be labelled as crap? its not my favourite radiohead album, that accolade belongs to hail to the thief, but in my opinion it is one of the top 5 albums of the 90's.

Okay so I listened to the Radiohead album as I fell asleep last night. It's not a classic album by any means but I can see that it is going to be an album that grows on me. The strange thing about this album is that it drags you back to listen to it just one more time. I also like the fact that the band doesn't take the easy route in any part of the album and will take different directions in each of the songs to throw the listener off. Like in Paranoid Android, the last half of that song is totally different from the sombre first half. These guys are talented, I'll give them that.

They don't suck, they're very talented. Just some people find them boring, and i have to admit i used to like them a lot, but now i don't like them quite as much. Thom Yorke is my old teachers nephew. hah. but yeah, i like OK computer and my favorite radiohead song is 'just'.
