Gemmill 46162 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Every band has moments which they would rather forget, and I feel 'Amnesiac' is Radioheads. Anyway, I rate the first 3 albums, especially the Bends and OK Computer. I can't get into the rest of their stuff, and personally think Kid A is pretty awful to listen to (got it on now just to check - still don't like it). A good band, an influential band, but not the best act of the last 15 years. Nowhere near in fact. Agreed on the first 3 albums. Bits and pieces of their stuff after OK Computer is decent, but for the most part it's fairly unlistenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Pablo Honey and The Bends then they went all beatlehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Liked Pablo Honey Liked The Bends Liked OK Computer Disappointed with Kid A Hated Amnesiac Hated Hail To The Thief I don't mind that they decided to go a bit more experimental, I just don't like it. That pretty much sums it up for me as well. Saw them at V last year though and all their stuff sounded immense live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3521 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) I find it interesting that radiohead can produce brilliant album after album, constantly growing and changing and yet get slated for it and yet U2 produce complete and utter shit and yet are hailed the greatest and most innovative band in the world! There is a band called regurgitator who got so sick of people slating their new releases because it sounded different or because they used different instruments that they actually released a single called I Like Your Old Stuff Better Than Your New Stuff.

Fop 1 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've always seen Paranoid Android as the Bohemian Rhapsody of my generation. Fucking genius. I quite like them, but that song is SO overrated (then and now) it is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't produced brilliant album after album though, that's the point. They dropped off in a big way after OK Computer when they stopped writing songs and started releasing sounds.

The Fish 10972 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It has to be a very specific mood for me to tune into a Radiohead album tbh. OK Computer is the best of the bunch imo though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Scot but when the last gig you went to was erasure that automatically excluded you from any and all worthwhile criticing of radiohead.

David Kelly 1260 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Radiohead are probably the best band on the planet tbh. Kid A and The Bends are two of my favourite ever album with Street Spirit and How To Disapear Completely being two of the most beautiful songs ever. I like all of their albums (and Yorke's solo album) but I do think OK Computer is one of the most overrated albums ever. It's very good but I don't think it's a patch on the two albums they released either side of it (probably because it's something of a half way point between the two sounds). HTTT is still growing on me now and I think it will probably overtake OK as my third favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your head a shake. Hail to the Thief is a brilliant album, up there with OK Computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14020 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I like all the albums a lot like, in order of preference... The Bends Ok Computer Kid A Hail To The Thief Amnesiac and im not fussed for pablo honey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I have The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A and hope to expand the collection some time soon. Still a fantastic band, but possibly a bit pretentious at times. OK Computer definitely my favourite out of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 New Radiohead material... Sampling Kula Shaker (22 sec) is a masterstroke, given that they were the best band of the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 I'm glad 'Nude' is being included on the new album, it's been about for a good while now, and will become an instant favourite with fans who haven't heard it before.
