Why each of us are here for individual reasons. Don't like? Don't read. Simple as.

Let the biased "Muse ripped-off Radiohead" debate begin.

also a handy note if you're a Radiohead fan who's into the supposed album conspiracies...when you play my list in that order, you'll see they're all linked together perfectly..... and yes - that means playing the joint 6th/8th albums at the same time!

[gareth brown]

on a serious note though I think that's the first time I've ever put Pop in a top 5! ("he's one of us now...")

just went looking for some of my old lists and at one point 6 years ago I had Pop joint last place with Rattle And Hum!! how times have changed.

What exactly is that Radiohead conspiracy again about putting various songs in a certain order? I must make that playlist.

But you haven't listened to either of the latter two. How could you know?

apparently OK Computer/In Rainbows work really well when listened together as something people refer to as 01 10 or something?! never tried it myself but I may do later simply as an excuse to listen to both albums for the first time in a couple of months, albeit alternating between the two


this is a link to an article that isn't as "OMG!!!!11" about it as most of the others I found
The 01 10 Radiohead Album Conspiracy | Apes on Tape

some say it works well with a crossfade switched on in itunes/winamp/whatever (10 seconds apparently, that sounds a BIT much but i dunno)
