Did you like to enjoy Radiohead before they started sucking?

Ah, I'm sure you can do better than that! I don't even need to pretend that I take offense at the fact you say their "music" is above my intellect. Perhaps they've geared their "music" towards space aliens

hehe... yes sir. I think their music is ghey.

I was expecting something else when I saw "enjoy, head, sucking" in the same sentence..... I guess I should read the whole thing slowly. But to answer... Yes, I did enjoy them...a long time ago...

She's on Fiah!
 
They are one of a few mainstream bands that have progressed to less commercial music rather than more, pissing off Creep fans and indie snobs alike. Look at the other popular UK bands like Coldplay and Travis - they are making a living off the music Radiohead made 6-7 years ago. Radiohead will still be on the greatest bands list in 10 years when most of the cookie cutter crap is gone.
 
I will say that of all commercial music, Radiohead does seem to be the most artistic and creative. If you think that Radiohead is the best band to come around in years you really need to check out the more underground scene. There are so many extremely talented musicians out there that sadly know one has ever heard of. I enjoy seeking out these bands, and I know that I may never find the best ones, but the music you find in the underground bands will blow you away. These musicians posses more talent in their little finger than ol Thome could ever hope to muster. I'm not saying that Radiohead is bad, I love them. But there is so much more out there.

So I should listen to you ?

I don't like radiohead because of what other people think
Who said otherwise? Radiohead fanboys make them out to be God's gift to modern music. My point was, don't believe the hype. Listen what you like.

You inferred waaay too much out of my post.

Don't worry, there's plenty of music out there for people like you. Just check out the pop section at your local Sam Goody.

Hmm...let's see...classical music critics hail them as one of the greatest rock bands of the past century, great musicians of all genres from around the globe respect their music, many fine musicians (again, of all genres, and again, from around the world) have done their own transcriptions of their music....

Uh-oh, some guy named "Skoorb" with 18,000 posts on a message board says that their music is dumb, it must be so...
Oh, and I'm sure these "classical music critics" are somehow better judges of music? A bunch of fogies crawl out of their holes long enough to dub the first band they've listen to in the past 100 years to be the best. Pffttt... Next time you talk to these high and mighty critics, tell them I said, "Cram it with walnuts."

Uh yeah, they are better judges of music, seeing as many of them are fine musicians with a very trained and intellectual ear. As for the rest of your post, I won't even bother, intelligent and thoughtful though it was...

Very trained and intellectual ear, huh. Explain to me how that makes their opinion more important than Skoorb's. That's the wonderful thing about music - it's subjective. There's a reason why people like the bands they do; its because they like it. The opinion of a bunch of snobby critics means absolutely nothing. Nothing. NOTHING. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

With f**king walnuts.

That wasn't directed at anyone specifically, just pointing out that arguing about music is a waste of time. I keep trying to tell ndee that Mariah Carey is the devil and he won't listen to me.

"Would boink" and "would listen to her music" are two separate issues. Actually, I don't even know if she'd fall into my "would boink" categorization....she is quite possibly the most vain, annoying, bitchy human being ever.

 
radiohead is awesome! their music is difficult to get into at first. don't judge it from a casual listening. I had anmesiac 2.0 for a year before i really started liking it.

hehe...but does he like you back? 😉

 
This thread is perfect for that picture that says:

"Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded."

Which, sadly, I am unable to locate at this time.

lol.
 
Every Radiohead album put out so far has been fantastic. I really dig the the new stuff too. But if you like all your music to be the of the 3 minute, radio-friendly, melody->chorus->hook->chorus variety then maybe you're more suited to more traditional bands.

My thoughts exactly. I'm a musician of 15 years, studied it some in college, and have very eclectic tastes. But some of Radiohead's stuff (especially their SNL appearance) is atonal cacophony. Letting someone hold an instrument does not make him a musician. To quote Type O Negative (not really a fan, so hold your flames), "Don't mistake lack of talent for genius."
