What is so Good about Oasis and Radiohead

[lmjhitman]

I heard a few songs and they sound tooooooooo popish like Fall out boy or when Blink 182 was around.

oh. my. god.

 

[Zoots]

Zoots, never mention Pablo Honey ever again.

EVER.

okkkay

 

[GibsonGirl]

oh. my. god.

Sums up my reaction to that little comparison completely.

 

[the rockin edge]

i did not intend to derail the thread.

 

[GibsonGirl]

okkkay

Pablo Honey might just be one of my least favourite albums of all time. Blow Out has an amazing outro, though.

I think The Bends is easier to break into if you don't know anything about Radiohead! Or better yet, start from the top? Pablo Honey? I wouldn't know too much about that one though cos that is the only album of theirs I still don't have.

yea start with The Bends then OK Computer....then Kid A

Never listen to Pablo Honey it is

Just listen to "Blow out" it is the standout track on that album

My friend told me to listen to the "thieves" cd what is that one? He said it is a good CD.

Hail To The Thief.

I think it's a great album but most Radiohead fans wouldn't agree with me on that.

Oasis was the face of the British Pop scene but were not the best band. In the same way Nirvana had Pearl Jam, Oasis had The Verve. I like Pearl Jam and The Verve but can't stand the other two. I think groups that are the face of a genre sometimes get the backlash of being the commercial success. That's my theory for why Oasis gets destroyed by some music fans.

On the other hand, Oasis were a fad in the US so as an American I can't really understand what the appeal of the group was.

I have the Bends, Ok Computer and Kid A. Is it anywhere close to those CDs? Would you compare it to any of these?

Still can't get into much of Kid A or less, Amnesiac, though.

We suck

sorry it was too tempting. That song is kinda

pablo should go last

its good only if you appreciate how they evolved from that point

Well, it has some songs that are closer to the Bends/OK Computer era, such as 2+2=5. And there's some Kid A-ish songs like Backdrifts. But then there are quite a few other songs that don't sound anything like any other Radiohead songs, ie Myxomatosis and A Wolf At The Door (amazing songs.)

Then there's There There. That song's delicious. I just wish the drums were louder on the album. They're nice and loud when played live - exactly as they should be.

wolf at the door, I will anyways that video of anyone can play guitar is awesome

did you read the blog from the guy from that performance who said he saved Thom's life during it? (sorry I don't have a link)
