Fave; Radiohead Album (or EP)

[Firky]

Radiohead seem to be the only good rock band in the world at the moment - I vote OK Computer but their later stuff is great too - was in a club dancing to Anthony Shakir (techno/house DJ) at the weekend - he played Idiotheque and it was one of those magic clubbing moments.

DJ's often drop that in to be its a fucking hard record to mix well, if they can pull it off well - props to them

Always makes me grin like a fucker when i hear raidohead in an unlikey enviroment

 

[Firky]

I'm missing most of their albums but the 'I might be wrong: Live recordings' is stellar. 'Com Lag' Is also solid, I can't really decide which I like better.

I Might Be Wrong, cos I was at most of those gigs!

I got the DAT recording off the shit they left off IMBW

 

[KellyDJ]

OK Computer. Mainly because it's got Karma police on there which is my favourite Radiohead track.

The Bends is a close second

 

[pilchardman]

I voted "I fucking hate them", which is overstating things. I just don't rate them.

 

[kittyP]

It was a hard decision between, the bends, OK computer and Kid A!

I went for the bends but I'm still unsure!

IMHO Radio head have come up with so much good stuff that I could never really judge one thing off the back of the other!

 

[peppery]

Ok Computer. Its such a departure from something like creep. You can't imagine Oasis evolving like that.

The bends, and Kid A are also up there.

I like OKC the best need to say. Never been taken in by The Bends good album though but never seen the fuss. kd A is top but I have a real soft spot for Amnesiac I need to say. Life In Glasshouse, pyramid Song, I might be wrong and Knives Out were all crackin tracks. Never really listen to Hail To the Theif may stick it on later and see if I hear it from a different angle.

 

[Xanadu]

It's still OK Computer. Has been for the past couple of years now. I seem to go through phases. For a while, I thought Kid A was the only album in the world

I don't listen to Radiohead enough

They're all brilliant aren't they. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. They take risks and end up making something unique.

What a bizarre sentiment!

I didn't realise they were so prodigious. I only know Pablo Honey and The Bends, so I voted The Bends.

Get OK Computer, you won't regret it. I only first listened to it a few months ago but it was easily one of the best things I've ever listened to.

(1) OK Computer 10/10 - the best album of the 1990s.

(2) The Bends 9/10 - definitely in my top five of that decade.

(3) Hail To The Thief 9/10 - mixed the best bits of the Kid A/Amnesiac experimentalism, not all of which worked but much of which did, with proper songwriting.

(4) Amnesiac 8/10

(5) Kid A 7/10

(6) Pablo Honey 6/10

Are you me??

Your vote is my vote ...

 

[kittyP]

I know so many people that love the 1st 2 albums and hate the rest, love the last 3 and hate their 1st stuff, hate all of it or love all of it!

They seem to bring out a lot of both positive and negative emotion in people! I think that's good either way!

 

[pilchardman]

Well, I think they're average.

I suppose I should just be thankful that their existence keeps Sting and Dire Straits off people's turntables for a little while. Since that's their audience.

Middle-aged salesman thinks he's trendy: he has an iPod. And he's got OK Computer on it.

He may have it on his iPod, but does he actually listen to it?

Who cares?

 

[William of Walworth]

You don't really get Radiohead do you pilchardman?

Try listening to several different (very different, very varied) albums ... if you can bear to ...

I have. And I've seen them live.

I even saw them before pablo honey came out.

But I'm afraid they're just average.

So is your reaction .. average in terms of people hostile to (or unappreciative of) Radiohead I mean ...

I'm not hostile to them. I'm just uninterested.

 

[reprobate]

I like them all.

 

[boing!]

Its a toss up between The Bends and Kid A for me but I voted for kid a just to be cool and alternative.
