[Music] Radiohead

Let's just chat about Radiohead for a while.

Kid A is my favourite album, followed by The Bends and Ok Computer. I've been listening to Pablo Honey a bit more recently and I'm wondering if this album gets a bad time unfairly. I mean, some of it is terrible, but some of it's pretty decent too. Also, b-sides like 'Pop is dead' have finally proven to me that they aren't morose and gloomy all of the damn time.

Best songs are Motion Picture Soundtrack, How to Disappear Completely, The Daily Mail, and Exit Music (For a Film).

Missed a chance to watch them live because the tickets were so damn expensive. Dunno why they're so shy about playing in the UK. This is their neck of the woods!

Oh, and for a quick laugh:

I'm not the biggest fan, but they have some songs I really like.
And they did a fantastic job with Wish You Were Here.

Radiohead is my favorite band.

I think I'll get back to this thread later, I just wanted to post something.

Definitely one of the weaker bands of their time.

Why's that?

Maybe he means that their sound can be weak and vulnerable sometimes, I might be wrong.

I'm the same with my favorite albums of them, but I've never listened to Pablo Honey.

I like Radiohead. They make some great music. Don't know what to say other than that.

They're not bad, they just can't stand up to many of the other bands of their time. Often times I forget they even existed.

Never could get into Radiohead. Tried more than a few times, but it does nothing for me.

I kinda love Radiohead a lot. They've been one of my favorites for the better part of 2 years now. My favorite album would be OK Computer but most of their stuff is also great aside from Pablo Honey. They're also a real experience to see live. All in all, they're one of the most talented groups around today.

Have any of you ever listened to any of the solo stuff from each member? (minus Colin and Ed) Thom's album is pretty tight. Jonny's solo stuff is pretty different and sides more along with classical, as far as I've listened to.

I've been trying really hard since 2006, and I found it very difficult to get into it. I think I had a breakthrough last fall, though, because now I consider myself a fan. Not a huge fan, but a fan.

OK Computer and The Bends are two of the best albums I've ever heard.
