I don't really have much else to say. Just listening to The Bends again... Somehow - everytime I listen to a Radiohead CD, it's just as exciting as the first time. I cannot think of another band that produces the same experience for me. I love The Tragically Hip, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails - and I have a very complete collection for all of these bands.. but something about Radiohead.. Emmm... Someone recently suggested I try out My Morning Jacket.. So I'm looking forward to them, perhaps this weekend...

I've also started to enjoy Steve Earle.

Sorry for the midnight rant.

Sleep well.

Radiohead defined a generation of music for me, and all of their first three albums are as fresh to my ears today as they were when I first heard them --partly due to my having much better cans nowadays

My favorite tunes: Creep, I Can't, Let Down, Karma Police, No Surprises, High And Dry, Fake Plastic Trees (MY FAVORITE AMONG FAVORITES!), Street Spirits, Black Star, and The National Anthem.

Radiohead redefined annoying music, for me.

Not to be a troll or a party pooper, but we're talking about a band that has been an undisputed critic's darling across the entire Western world for more than ten years. The widespread canonical adoration and reverence for that band is immeasurable. Is there really a need for another brand new "I love Radiohead" thread?

Radiohead is a very good band but I guess the only people not aware of this would have to have been born on the moon.

For the original poster:

Have you heard anything from a band named Muse yet?

If not, I have a feeling you might enjoy their music as well.
Try the album 'Origin of Symmetry' first. If you like it, go from there.

P.S. Music is a very intimate, and moving experience for many. If the guy wants to post his adoration for a band he loves, I personally see no harm in it.

Oh yeah, and f*@k the critics.

I don't see harm in it either, but considering this forum's propensity for replies such as "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION N00B!!1" whenever someone even hints at treading already-charted waters, I didn't think my comment was out of line.

The same. But let's not turn this into a discussion about if they suck. There are plenty of threads about that.

I wouldn't call them annoying or bad music; much worse can be done. I just get bored if I listen to them.

 

[skybl4ck]

the songs are entrancing, but they aren't like wow.

I entirely disagree- your original comment was out of line. If you don't want to read a thread, no one is forcing your hand to click on it and read it. My post wasn't about my undying adoration for Radiohead- it was my observation that I still enjoy their CDs as much today as I did the first time I heard them. The thread could have gone in any direction - people could've posted about other bands they have had similar experiences with - I will never tire of listening to Tegan and Sara's first album, or the Start's EP - the title of which currently escapes me.

So in the future, if you see a thread about a topic that you're tired of - why don't you simply try ignoring it?

I've heard of Muse - but I don't have very much of their stuff - just a few tracks on a mix CD a friend made for me. I'm really excited about My Morning Jacket. I am hoping to go CD shopping tomorrow so perhaps I'll buy Origin of Symmetry a try. Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Maybe give The Mars Volta a try. Although they are not quite my cup of tea, you may end up enjoying them. IMO they have a 'sort-of' Muse/Radiohead type of vibe going on (the vocals are really out there though).

 

[trains are bad]

Man, I'm going to have to buy some Muse too. My music budget is creeping up on my RENT budget

. This site is going to bankrupt me....

Most underrated album of an overexposed band - "Fables of the Reconstruction" by REM. Radiohead? I don't think they've ever had an underrated album, hehe, but I'd put their stuff right up there with "Fables."
