If you like vocals reminiscient of cats being strangled and music that is less experimentation and more sticking a fork up one's arse, twisting ten times, and calling it experimentation, then yes.

Otherwise? Hell no. I find this forum's fascination with all things Radiohead to be incomprehensible.

I hope they received a government grant for their music

 

[Angela Harlem]

Oh, Belinda.

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Wot? You think I should buy Dark Side of the Moon?

 

[Angela Harlem]

No! I can't quite pin down my distress. You not knowing the craptitude of Radiohead, freely loving Meatloaf (even that 45 minute epic which makes people kill themselves, the one about doing anything EXCEPT STOPPING THE FUCKING SONG?)... and then I got distracted and forgot the rest.

:grumpylove:

I you.

45 minute epics

Seriously, Radiohead are those Creep people, yeah? What else do they sing?

PS Its funny you should call me Belinda. Thats the second time thats happened today. How bizarre

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Oh sugar, I was wearing the wrong logon. My apologies. That'll learn me.

 

[Angela Harlem]

They sing Creep, Karma Police, and something else which might have been released here. They're not commercially successful unless you count the very commercially successful indie scene of Aus.

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Don't think I've heard Karma Police. I think I would remember if I did as karma is decided by ones own actions not any outside party. Dropkicks.

I am having some serious trouble trying to find a fault in this sentence, not only for the use of words, but also for the accuracy of the statement.

 

[xaviMF22]

radiohead>>> all of you

 

[LMP]

I like the list, but Zeppelin IV is below Nevermind? That's like eating a turd sandwich over a BLT or something.

At least I know if I'm in Australia, they have good music to choose from.

 

[xaviMF22]

where is dream theater?

Radiohead isn't a singles band, their strength is in making albums, which is one of the reasons I love them.

OK Computer from start to finish is fantastic, but like it's been expressed already in this thread, Radiohead's a "love 'em" or "hate 'em" type of band, there rarely is an in-between.

Why don't you just go suck on a Porcupine Tree record or something? I'm sure you'll be much happier.

Imagine getting your blood drawn and you look over to see the little tube of red. Your eyes roll back as your heart and lungs slow to almost nothing. Then your insides squeeze the last bits of consciousness out of you. That is the feeling you get when listening to Radiohead. You're falling asleep but in an agonizingly painful manner.

 

[cobl04]

As I have said before I put on this so called 'awesome' album and all I heard were these computer sounds and completey imcomprehensible vocals. Pure garbage.

Why does everyone hate Meat Loaf? BOOH is one of the greatest rock albums there is imo.

Both Shag and Belis Secret ID were here and I missed it

And more to the point, why has noone picked up that you don't have the Joshua Tree??? U2 fans

 

[intedomine]

OK Computer's bloody brilliant. The Bends is a load of crap though.

Oh, so you finally made it to Fitter Happier? Or did you just start there and shut it off immediately after?

 

[LMP]

Computer sounds in an album called OK Computer?

You don't say?

Hahaha

I actually consider myself part of that in-between, I mean they have some rather good stuff and also some shockingly awful stuff - like a whole bunch of bands.

I like Kid A much more than OK Computer.

 

[XHendrix24]

What, no TISM on this list?

 

[cobl04]

What's tism

 

[The Sad Punk]

Remember (He'll Never Be an) Ol' Man River? They did that.

 

[mysterious_jen]

What's tism

ohhhh buddy you have to check out TISM you will love it !

 

[cobl04]

I would if I knew who they were...w ahts it stand for?

 

[Shag On A Rock]

TISM = This Is Serious Mum.

I think their newer albums are branded as TISM though.
