Title: Radiohead
Post by: Bacchus on June 05, 2004, 12:33:10 PM: Anyone listen to them?I've been checking them out lately and find them pretty interesting.they very melodic and intelligent...definitely mood oriented music.they are often dismal and depressing...but i like that kind of thing,lol.Anyways ,definitely worth checking out for those who are unfamiliar with their material.

I thought they were huge in the States (sorry, I'm assuming you're from the States!), so I'll be surprised if no-one has heard of them... Karma Police, Creep, High and Dry, Fake Palstic Trees etc etc.........

Yeah they are a great british band and would venture to say a lot of people who
love the beatles might really find radiohead refreshing for today's music.

I agree - there a few Beatlesque moments to be found in some Radiohead tracks, such as Karma Police for example; VERY Sexy Sadie!

Post by: LonelyPeople on June 07, 2004, 04:05:20 PM: Radiohead is a great band..not in the same league with the beatles or Zeppelin, but a nice reminder that people can still make great music....if you're new to the Radiohead thing check out "OK Computer".

That's one of their songs that I really like. I also really like Street Spirit (Fade Out) and Just. Other than that I don't know much of their music.

Post by: Rowdy on August 17, 2004, 10:27:54 PM: Magnificent band!

1. Kid A
2. OK Computer
3. The Bends
4. Pablo Honey
5. Amnesiac
6. Hail to the Thief

Their last two albums have kind of lost me....but there's no denying all the great tracks from the first four.

Post by: Blue on August 27, 2004, 04:27:21 AM: I have been listenting to Radiohead since Pablo Honey and I can tell you anything you need to know about them. I also know that they know they won't be up there witht The Beatles. Their music is constantly chaning. Instead of taking the Beatles approach, they took more of the Miles Davis approach which is not having two albums sounding exactly alike. They constantly reinvent themselves.
Also, to those who only listen to 'Creep', is like saying you only listen to 'Twist and Shout' from the Beatles. They have songs that are millions of times beter that that song. As a matter of fact, the song is almost a joke to them and their fans. They dispise the song.

Post by: An Apple Beatle on January 09, 2005, 06:55:20 PM: I followed and even covered some of their tracks but I have to say The BEnds live is a truly exhilerating album/video.
I do get a bit lost with some of there more experimental ventures but Hail to The Theif really impressed me. They are definitely one of UK's best bands at the mo.
