Radiohead - I don't get it

[Az]

Missy Elliot is great, btw.

[Immortal Wombat]

Missy Elliot is unlistenable.

Although, in terms of beautiful, meaningful music, Spiritualized are great.

While Snapcase's musical taste doesn't quite jive with mine, in here he's right on. In fact, if we combine it with his recent lionization of White Stripes, he's been right on about music at least twice in a short period of time, which is rather worrisome.

Oh well, at least he doesn't like Tool. So there's at least one thing I still can say he's wrong about.

Radiohead
Coldplay

As for me they caught me with their mini LP My Iron Lung, which was between "Creep" and the Bands , the Bands is still my favourite album, and one of the best albums ever. Their music style has changed but the songs still speak volumes about life... for me... how can you put art into words, some understand it and that's enough for us who do.

Where would you want me to start? Certainly Radiohead is not the band which, if you are new to, can sound easy or acceptable.... it takes some listening to get the feel I assume. Thoms whining as you put it, well for me it just kicks my chord... why? SOmehow many things that I see in the world around me or in me click with their music -as for OK Computer - fear... questions... escape? anyway my favourite out of that album is Climbing Up The Walls... "It's always better on the outside"

anyway, I guess Radiohead is not for everyone, maybe many listen just because it is not standard mainstream, but still for us to whom their music speaks - Radiohead --refreshing--

I like my music imediate, kinetic, original and raw, ie. everything Radiohead is not. What they did to music was take the quite hard-rockin' alt-rock format, infuse it with pretentious pseudo-intellectual gibberish and ideas, bleed all life out of it and plaster on the most whiny lyrics known to mankind. Like prog rockers a generation before them they tried to turn the visceral, lively, youthful artform that is Rock'n'Roll into pompous, tediously anaemic "music" for desexed people whose idea of excitement is tea with an extra cube of sugar in it, spawning dozens of awful copycat acts (Doves, anyone?) and being instrumental in the process that ruined music in the nineties.

It took years for the mainstream to refocus on the core values of groove, attitude and brilliant pop hooks again.

except of that enigmatic last sentence.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Well Buck, pseudo intellectual gibberish for you is beautiful and meaningfull to me - well such is life I guess we all differ in our tastes and understanding ... in the same way MS Elliot doesn't really appeal to me, but what the heck she has an audience of her own, who probably know what appeals to them

imediate, kinetic, original and raw

:shrugs:

Well that is their "most like pop" song, but If you ought to go to those musical waters start off with "the Bands" the rest will surely sound to weird.

[Az]

I won't start anything.


Look, I realize these guys are experimenting, trying to find a new sound. All I say is that so far, I don't like their new sound.

[Asher]

Anyone who likes Missy Elliot is automatically dismissed when it comes to musical taste as far as I'm concerned.

Hell, Buck admits to not even hearing some of the most brilliant albums in recent times. No wonder he doesn't know better.
