Chris Martin is Thom Yorke. You've never seen them together in the same room, have you?
 
They're like the kings new clothes - loads of people think they're brilliant, but for me there's nothing there. I've just never been able to see anything remotely likeable or interesting about them.

I want that lithograph. Firky, did you meet him? I fancy Thom Yorke so much you wouldn't believe it. Regardless of the eye, he's still gorgeous. I so would.

I will tell you all about when we spend a night together :D

It is (or used to be) canny easy to get a hold of them via Spin with a Grin :)

I reckon Kid A and Amnesiac should have been a single record, with all the filler chucked out. That'd be a killer record:

Everything in Its Right Place
Idioteque
Pyramid Song
You and Whose Army?
I Might Be Wrong
Knives Out
Morning Bell
Like Spinning Plates
Motion Picture Soundtrack

I reckon :)

Kid A works on its own and is a masterpiece, plus you threw away LIAGH which is a sin. You sir are a fool. *throws down velvet glove*
 
listened to new album on bus to work,
they seem to me like a good coldplay - without the piano and selfloving
plus much better quirky sounds and production and lyrics,

still, being a good coldplay doesn't get you much support in my house.

It's not too hard... one is clearly a god, and the other is a cunt.

God.

Also, the eye is a dead giveaway...

I've downloaded some of the albums as voted on the Urban album of the year thread, including In Rainbows, but as with their previous releases, I just don't get them, at all.

I never have got them, I actually think they make rather miserable music which just doesn't cut the mustard with me.

What is it about them? I like quite a broad spectrum of music, but this lot I just cannot listen to.

Yet they seem to be the 'best band in the world' :confused:


I'm not surprised at all that you don't like them.

You're always far too chirpy on here.

I think they are decent, but not the maestros that some people think.

My personal favourite is "hail to the thief" but I know most radiohead fans don't like that one. :confused:

When they played at Glastonbury I fell asleep and some woman remarked how rude I was :D :D

Nicely done... You're starting to win me over to the Kid A lithograph/me swapsies idea with things like that.

I actually really like HTTT. Not as much as OK Computer, In Rainbows, The Bends or Kid A but more so than Amnesiac or Pablo Honey.
 
Dystopian lushness. In Rainbows seems to me like the culmination of a range of experiments - its a distillation of everything they do so well. And the box set is perfect if I ever go on Desert Island Discs I can choose that.
 
I used to love them and have all their albums up to, and including, Kid A, I haven't really listened to them after that accept their single releases, I think it's great they do their own thing and seam to develop every album but it's not really my cuppa tea anymore.
 
Thanks for the watch this Firky - btw were you aware of the theory that if tracks from OKC and IR are played alternately there is a some kind of link - some music professor has noted this - something about chord progressions and lyric linkage - not had time to experiment to see for myself but its an event I am anticipating with Radiogeekness joy.
