The Official Radiohead Thread

Paranoid Android is a fantastic song and is managing to become my favourite song of the moment (next to Arctic Monkeys-a certain romance, of course.)

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.

i knew you'd see the light eventually. give it more time, you'll grow to love it.

I'm used to pick up and listen albums, they comprise pretty much all of my collection. It's just a different route of music for me. I'm sure that when I give this band a bit more time in my CD player then I will grow to like them.

I think they're overrated and I don't like 'em.Same catergory as U2....Never done it for me.

I like OK Computer and everything after it. I could never really get into The Bends or Pablo Honey.

is radiohead overrated and overhyped? probably. do i still like them and think they're a good band? yeah. ok computer took me a few listens to really appreciate, but i think it's a great album. i personally don't "get" kid A or amnesiac much at all, minus a few very good songs. just doesn't interest me.

Thats what I thought for a long time

Then I saw them live , now Amnesiac is my favourite Radiohead album.

venn diagrams · 03-08-2006, 02:51 PM

the first track on amnesiac is one of my favorite radiohead songs ("packt like sardines in a crushd tin can"), but i just couldn't get into much anything else on the album. it's been a while since i gave it a listen though, so i might appreciate it more now.

kid A is an immense album. the national anthem being the standout song for me. consistently brilliant band

Ok Computer was just an instant click for me , nothing since Nirvana at the age of 12 has affected me more than Radiohead.
