I think Everything In Its Right Place is simply amazing.
and I think it only contains a keyboard based synth and Vocals.. (Backwards and layered effects to vocals)

I'm gonna base my conclusion about u, regarding ure knowledge with music by that silly commment you just made.

Radiohead has their moments, OK Computer was great, but beyond that their just a novelty. Sound different & you'll reap attention no matter what & in this day & age with the sorry state music is in Radiohead garners more attention than it deserves sad to say.

Well thank you, Always nice 2 amaze ppl.

Radiohead ARE overrated. Just like REM. Most of the darlings of Q magazine are overrated.

A lot of so called alternative bands are overrated. They take them selves 2 serious. They act like snobs. They think they better then other artists/bands. And so do the fans. Like only they know what good music is. Most of the time those bands all sound the same. Dont get me wrong, i love alternative music, just dont like how pretentious they act.
Prince fans can act like that too by the way. Can be very annoying.

I think that the ppl who don't like Radiohead, r going out of their way 2 try and jsutify themselves - like they feel that if they can't provve it, mayb there's something wrong with themselves!

I liked Creep, but not enuff 2 buy PH (thought it was more a one-off "novelty song"). Saw them supporting REM in 1995 (Stipe said then that they were the one band in the world he was afraid of), and they blew me away - better than REM at that gig! A friend-fan heard my response and bought me "The Bends". Didn't listen to it much, until one day it was on in the background and it just HIT ME. Since then, I've been hooked. I saw the Paranoid Android video, and it was like hearing a new P single in the 80s. I recorded it and even wrote a paper on it for my MA. Bought OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac on day of release. All amazing musical experiences.

I tell this story to knock back those who r saying that Radiohead is all about the hype. That may b the case in the US, for those who hadn't heard of them until OK Computer seemingly shot out of nowhere, and I'm sure there r the "pretenders" who just jump on the bandwagon, but trust me, foir the bulk of the appreciators Radiohead have earned their cred.

I find it interesting that my two fave artists r so diffferent: P and Radiohead. Most of the other music I like is closer 2 P: funk, soul, r&b. guitar. Interesting.

Sdldawn said:

They are not musically similar, but rather in the hype they received and their 'hip image'. Both were shouted about in Q magazine. Thats all. By the way i'm not slagging them, I like Radiohead- they just don't justify their press thats all

sermwanderer said:

I never knew REM was considered "hip".

I won't put too much faith in the words of someone who rants about "alternative bands." Tell Kurt Loder I said hello.

hehe

I personally love them; I have since '93 . . .

For any of you who have a hard time figuring out the lyrics, check out this site:

Knowing what they're saying might make you enjoy them more (and yes, the lyrics are deep).

Radiohead is a great band

Thom yorke is an amazing musician. Even with his not so perfect singing voice, he has the ability to move his listeners with his sense of being in the moment of each song.

Something has to click with you in order to understand and appreciate this band. You shouldn't buy albums based on the hype that you hear...you should buy them because YOU heard something from them that sparked your curiosity.

When I first heard Fake Plastic Trees, it was the best thing playing on the Radio at that moment and I couldn't get enough. I've followed them from that moment on.

Say what you will about your own opinions of this band. I don't understand what makes people like most of the big sellers out their today. I love Radiohead's music, and so do millions of people all around the world who attend their concerts that sell out in mere minutes. I think it's ridiculous to say that people only listen to a band because they happen to be a hot item at the moment.

One of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to was the Radiohead concert at Jersey state park back in 2001. After the applause would die down and the next song would begin, people quickly became TRANSFIXED to the band and whatever song was next. On quieter numbers, you could hear people shh-shing the rest of the audience.

I've gone on long enough. I'm going to listen to the new cd now because it's great! What makes it great? IT DOESN"T MATTER.

You know what? I think some people just like to say that a band sucks or is over-rated simply because they don't like them. They think they KNOW what GOOD music is. They defend their own musical tastes and carry an attitude that says "This band can't be good...if they were good, I would like them because all I listen to is good music. The fifteen or so bands that I listen to are the best fifteen or so bands in the world. If a band or musician is not one of them, then they must not be good."

FunkyNose said:

They're not a funk band

They have plenty of "Grooves", obviously you haven't listened to enough of their music.

Give me an example of a song with misplaced noises.

FunkyNose said:

Actually, I think they would be laughed right out of the business. I think you give Radiohead fans musical tastes too little credit. We do like other musicians as well.

NWF said:

Radiohead and Pink Floyd are my two favorites of all time. Sorry to disagree, but they are worlds apart. Yes, they're both pretty experimental for their time, but not near enough similarities to warrent such a comment.

Kid A and Amnesiac both won grammies, not that that means anything, oh wait...yes it does. I think that for what they were trying to do with those two albums, they pulled it off brilliantly!

Cloudbuster said:

Agreed...quite underrated if you ask me. The World should be in AWE.

I've really been feelin Amnesiac lately.. its a little masterpiece.

FunkyNose said:

Sdldawn said:

It took me while to fully appreciate (even tho' it's more song based than Kid A!) but it sure is damn fine.

Pyramid Song, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out and Dollars And Cents are all great pieces of work.

they used to be good, now they are uninspired bores

garganta said:

BS! HTTT kicks ass!!!

garganta said:

Correct, but I can see from your avatar you are a suede fan-now theres an underrated band.

While I certainly can understand not liking the man's voice, to criticize their musical abilities is just beyond me. For me his voice is always that one missing ingredient that helps to complete the puzzle and for me it always connects to the emotion in the song. I still say these guys are probably THE best band to come out of the 90s. Hail to the Theif is fantastic!

I heard an interview on the radio today and the band talked about wanting and needing, as artists, to go in a new direction. I am ready for it when it comes

FunkyNose said:

well, for starters, i am sitting here listening to Hail to the Thief and once more I am blown away. no this is not the first time i'm hearing it. not even the 2nd time. its like the 30th time and i'm still blown away. when i put on the bends or ok computer or kid a i'm still blown away. the unconventional sounds and melodies just seem so conventional! they seem so natural. perhaps you can't imagine what effort and thought and work went into creating these albums. radiohead's past few albums have been like when miles went electric. only some people got it...the rest just figured it out after years and years, if ever. radiohead have a lot to say. politically, spiritually, socially. they are, without a doubt, the most important band around right now.

damn all these spelling errors!!!!!
