Hey y'all.. im a big radiohead fan... i think they're the best bloody band out there... i know they've changed their styles over the years, but their stuff is still amazing... i love all their albums.. really hard to pick which one is the best... any other crazy radiohead fans out there, this is an opportunity to talk about their music and all sorts of things.. just opened a thread for that purpose... all comments are welcome...

I have heard that name
Thy spokst of now
Nothing more but only that
Nevermind and whatever
Nevermore :D

a very heard of name.
can't remember anything particular though
haven't listened to radio for the last few years though
although I think that it's a rather old band

bah, i never quite "got" radiohead. I know this one kid who is totally obsessed with them tho. So there must be something there i'm not seeing. what are some good songs?

the first hit they had was 'creep'... im sure u must've heard it..

but check these ones out

fake plastic trees
high and dry
paranoid android
the entire album called Kid A...
dollars and cents
pyramid song
packt like sardines in a crushd tin box

for starters..eheheh..

...no alarms and no surprises...

Radiohead is good. I love ideoteque. Hunting Bears is good too. Exit Music, Talkshow Host, How To Dissapear Completely...

Ack, too many to list.

i knoww.. so so many to list... some of their really good stuff is not on the albums... of course the albums are amazin, but their b sides and rare stuff are great too...

has anyone seen em live? i caught them in toronto in 2000 on their special Kid A tour... it was an unbelievable concert...

some more songs

lucky
subterranean homesick alien
you
amazing sounds of orgy
kinetic
bulletproof.. i wish i was...

can't wait for their new album early next year.. :)

i heard something recently about a synchronicity thing with the Matrix and Kid A. you know, like dark side of the moon and the wizard of oz?? i haven't been able to find anymore info on it though like where to start the music or anything. oh, Reloaded comes out May 15th!!!:D :D booya!!

The chaps appear to me as very very awake...
they Pick the right tunes and just make it right...
listen to Pyramid Song and Wolf at the door from the forthcoming album...i wonder wether they'll ever do any mentionably wrong
some of my favorite songs are:
stop whispering
street spirit
airbag
everything in it's right place
in limbo (preferably live as it is with idiotheque, which really rocks)
optimistic
i might be wrong
you and whose army
...yes there really are too many to list
www.wezl.org/rhead/songs/ is a good site to get further information
take care everybody

i agree.. in limbo with idioteque live is just fuckin crazy... in limbo is a really good live song.. of course they can't perform idioteque the way it is recorded in the studio, its still really worth watchin it live.. just seein thom's expressions and his passion makes it so much better... did u see the episode of SNL when they performed? it was a good one too..

when the bloody hell they releasin the new album? they haven't even titled it yet...

some more songs...

planet telex
trans atlantic drawl
worrywort
knives out
lull
meeting in the aisle..

it goes on and on and on...

what do people think about their albums?

i have all of them, and i still like OK Computer and The Bends the best.

I'm somewhat new to Radiohead, but I have only recently fallen in love with Creep!

spaceman... as an album.. my favourite is Kid A... the entire way thru... of course OK and bends are amazin.. but as a FULL album, nothin beats Kid A.

notme.. radiohead is awesome... creep is their first hit.. u shud check out their stuff since they started in order.. u'll understand how they've progressed.. :)

Actually I started with their newest stuff and worked my way backwards, so I kinda saw them progress backwards, lol.

ahahahahha.... retracin aint a bitch... i wonder if you hit a wall after listenin to amnesiac and kid A and then listenin to ok computer... cuz ok computer is just so different than the last 2 albums... i personally really came to understand them well when they jumped from ok to kid A... that's just my personal opinion.. listen away... :D

When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet

I hate myself and I wanna die for not going to the concert in Berlin on the 11th of September 2001....what would be a more appropiate way to spend the night after the attacks?
i was told the sold tickets for 2-3 Euro's/$$
and i was at work cuz i thought it'd be too expensive...

I suggest everyone to take a few minutes to listen to "like spinning plates" from the "I might be wrong" live recordings...
hardly as beautiful stuff out there...
Regards
Chris

Kid A is a great soundtrack to walking around the streets at night with no particular place to go.

I'll second that!

---Kid A is a great soundtrack to walking around the streets at night with no particular place to go.---

my words.. my words comin outta your mouth.. :D

absolutely... a beautiful version... i love the studio version too.. but the piano in the live one is just pheonmenal...

Sometimes I might become slightly unsatisfied with philosophy. I feel like it lacks the ability to express something emotionally about my current state of mind. What I do then is to listen to Radiohead especially "Amnesiac" and "Kid A" but also others. Then I feel what this music express is 1000 times more accurate than what I can ever express in philosophy. This music express something that is more accuratly picturering the real world and my place in it than possible in philosophy. Music like e.g. "National Anthem" is neither happy, sad, party of any reductionist mood music. It´s music expressing a statement about a certain aspect of reality very delicate. Im anoyed by music that offer an false account of the world e.g. superhappy music. Radiohead doesn't do that it´t not irrational happy or unhappy they express both and everything between.
Im not a fan of Radiohead I dissagree completly with their political point of view and care little about Thom Yorkes favorit cerial or car. Im a fan of their music it's without parallel. For those who are able to appreciate it fully it´s brilliant. I think any written account including this, of Radiohead´s music will fall short and that prooves nicely why it's great and why this at times work as a "supplement" to philosophy.

care little about Thom Yorkes favorit cerial or car

any radiohead fan claimin to know all that has just lost it.. i dont give a shit about what he eats, wat mattress he sleeps in or how many women he's had... all i care is about their music...

think any written account including this, of Radiohead´s music will fall short and that prooves nicely why it's great and why this at times work as a "supplement" to philosophy.

you can't summarize a radiohead album with words.. its just impossible...

well why not just give it your best shot eh?
besides by following that train of thought, we can assert that any experience is ill served by a verbal or written description

we can assert that any experience is ill served by a verbal or written description

that is quite true... i dont think you can fully put down an experience into words..

Remember several months ago during the meteor showers? Well, late one night I left my house and headed up towards the top of the hill I live on where there is a wide open track area. With Kid A playing in my discman I was calm and as far removed from the stresses of life as I'm ever going to be. As it turned out I was hours to early and had to go home and missed the celestial event alltogether. But I must say, when How to Dissapear Completely graced my ears for a short while under a star studded sky... I was in heaven.

Remember several months ago during the meteor showers?
That was awesome. 3 of my friends and I went waaay out of the city and watched them with some really ambient music playing from the car. Awesome night.

Radio Head kicks ass. That metor shower was a shit load of fun. Good time Notmee....Good times.

good music bumpin while ur chillin with friends doin somethin is always memorable...

Well...when I'm sitting in the bus or tram on my way homr from work....seeing all these morouse faces...I like listening to how to disappear completely...or the National Antheme (both) in particular...

I'll give the kid a idea a try soon ;)

cheers

yeahh... heard about it yday... can't wait.... haven't heard any of those songs and im not gonna download em either... just gonna wait for the album to come out.. wonder if they have a limited edition for this one too.. checked on hmv.com to see if they have the album for pre order, but its still not there.. guess they're workin on the artwork... also, wat an appropriate title for the album...

apparently the new album has been leaked out.. there is a ton of controversy if it is a mastered version or not.. but jonny came on the official board and made some interesting comments... i personally haven't listened to any of the mp3's and am not gonna.. im gonna tie my hands down.. i know the wait is gonna eat my brain out, but i'll wait.. i wanna have the entire package with the artwork... plus its always sweet buyin it at midnite and then listenin it with a buncha friends havin somethin to drink n eat and spend the night away... all reviews of the album so far have been amazing... i can't wait to get my hands on the album.. gotta wait till june tho'... i can do it.. :rolleyes:

Radiohead is awesome. I love all their stuff, especially the newer stuff. For me the best album is a toss-up between Kid A and Amnesiac. I get the chills whenever I hear Life in a Glass house or the Live version of Spinning Plates. Wow. Thom is awesome. Thom is god.

Year Radiohead rules. Hope the new one will live up to expectations.
Depeche Mode is not bad either(though different ofcause).

been a radiohead fan for a long time now.. i love to see how they've matured from pablo honey all the way to amnesiac.. i've not heard the tracks from the new album, but the reviews are fantastic... they are by far the best band in the last decade or so... they are the reason why i listen to music... i can't wait to go and buy the new album in june.. long wait tho'...

Radiohead is definitely different and I enjoy their music, my favorite song of all time (tied with be quiet and drive by the deftones) is Karma Police, i dont think anyone mentioned that song. Can't get enough of that song.

okk.. i cudn't take it.. i downloaded the leaked version.. its awesome... of course its not the final mastered n mixed version.. but im really happy with where they're goin with this one... really mesmerizing and multicoloured... im happy i've had my fix... now i'll wait for the cd to be released... :)

sycoindian- what do you think of Karma Police? want to know how a major fan feels towards it, cause im not sure how it can be compared to the majority of their songs

karma police is one of the defining tracks of Ok Computer. It started out as a catch phrase the band members used.. if someone said somethin bad or did somethin bad they'd say 'karma police is gonna getcha'... its a beautiful and very powerful track... thom refers to that song as head buzz... most of my friends that started listenin to radiohead liked that song instantly... its one of the easy tracks from OKC to absorb... i recommend you listen to the entire album.. if you're really interested in the band, id advise you to start from their first album pablo honey.. and work ur way upto amnesiac.. u'll see how the band has matured and how amazin they are... they are the reason i listen to music... Kid A got me thru a very rough period of my life... they are by far the most impressive band in the last decade or so...

be sure to check out the video...
and then think twice before hunting someone down
:D

OK Computer was the album of 1997 and in turn, their best IMO.

Pearly is my favourite song by Radiohead (Airbag/How am I driving? EP)

Can't quite make heads or tails of these lyrics to my favourite song:

Pearly
how do you get your teeth so pearly?
children, dishes
white-washed faces
she runs from her father crying
yellow milkshakes
hardrock cafe's
that's where she got her sweet tooth for white boys
she runs from her father crying
daddy hurts me
daddy hurts me
daddy hurts me
daddy hurts me


...yikes. I still love the song tho. I just found their new one Hail to the Thiefon the Internet today... a little early ;)
From what I've heard so far... I am enjoying it.

I personally do not like radiohead. The bends is one of the best albums ever, but I think that they went completely down the pan after this. I suppose it was hard for the band to beat though!

The chaps appear to me as very very awake...
they Pick the right tunes and just make it right...

So this is the famous Geometric-Drumming.
Man I have been google searching for you for a while.
Dont blush just yet, I'm actually looking for a friend of yours.
A good friend of mine emailed a post to me. He didnt say where he got it from or who posted it. But your name is in the post so I figured you would kindly help me get in touch with him.

I googled the post and its all over the internet. Everyone is copying it. At least they're not saying its theirs though. Their just saying author un-known. I figured the author should have his props.

Please email me spiral_fill@hotmail.com if you remember anything about the person who wrote this.
Here is the post, notice your name near the bottom:

"To me, Tool's Lateralus is the most amazing piece of music ever composed. Not because I'm a goofball that has an affinity for the rockin' hard metal, and not because I want to latch on to their (in my opinion, unfairly applied) satanic reputation, but because I can say that it is the most intellectual, inspirational, and awe-inspiring material that I have ever been exposed to. Many reviews and commentaries of Lateralus on the internet mention that it was long-awaited, often saying that it eased Tool fans' desire for more. I think it was much more than that.

I think Tool deliberately wanted to give their fans something truly amazing, but wanted them to find it on their own. "Recognize this as a holy gift..." At first, I thought that the song Lateralus was about tripping acid - discovering true color by seperating the body from the mind. At first listen, I imagined the bending envelope as an intense visual. After becoming more familiar with the track, however, I had reformed my interpretation to something broader: think deeper. Lateralus, perhaps because it is the album's "title track", serves as the central clue for a puzzle that a friend of mine had read about somewhere on the internet. "All I know is that there is a different order for the songs - something about two spirals. Oh yeah, and thirteen is in the middle."
