Radiohead

[jaunty zodiac]

just creep then their most popular songs then iron lung then the full bwnds album

[azure nimbus]

Then I think OK Computer is a good next step
I doubt you'll like all the songs, as I still don't like half of them Exit Music for example
But Airbag, Paranoid Android, Electioneering and Lucky will all be good ones for you I think

[jaunty zodiac]

oh alright thank you

ill listen

[azure nimbus]

Yay

[jaunty zodiac]

this album doesnt have as loud bass as im used to from radiohead

not a bad thing just an observation i made

[azure nimbus]

Did somebody say loud bass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfQD1QiQ9o4

[azure nimbus]

Second half is annoying tho so I don't mind if you skip past that

[jaunty zodiac]

oh sorry

i was soemwhere else and not looking at this thread

[azure nimbus]

Ok

[sterile galleon]

what i love the whole song

[azure nimbus]

The crooked trumpets are a bit too much for me

I prefer the live version with the muddy guitar instead

[sterile galleon]

my best radiohead listening experience was listening to ok computer after having not slept for like 35 hours and being semi concious the whole time

[azure nimbus]

35 hours

[solar bridge]

oh hooooo

[soft burrow]

Life in a glasshouse is one of the best songs ever

[raw isle]

It’s probably my favorite Radiohead closing track

[iron topaz]

The only good forum here

[azure nimbus]

Talk Show Host has very strange lyrics but a fucking BANGER instrumental

Which sums up some of Radiohead's songs anyway

[round mortar]

Liar

You insisted to me thay it was a wolf at the door

[raw isle]

I never insisted that 😿

I just said Wolf at the Door was my favorite on that album

[solar bridge]

@raw isle I saw them in philadelphia!!

[raw isle]

no way

[solar bridge]

july 8th

[raw isle]

I saw them on July 10th!!

It was one of my favorite concerts ever

[solar bridge]

they were so freaking good

definitely one of my favorites too

i couldn’t stop staring at them lmao

My mom loved radiohead when she was younger but she never got to see them

she had a great time too

[raw isle]

That's awesome

[soft burrow]

speaking of, interchangable with life in a glasshouse for me

they never miss

not even on pablo in terms to closers

blow out is literally a preview of the bends

[raw isle]

Blow Out is by far my favorite track on Pablo Honey

[soft burrow]

It’s a hard choice between 4 tracks for me funnily enough

There’s You, Creep and Blow Out which are all genuinely good tracks (yes, including creep)

And then there’s Anyone Can Play Guitar which I adore but is absolutely not up to the quality of those 3

[granite arch]

In my opinion the best closer they made is MPS followed by street spirit

[azure nimbus]

W

[azure nimbus]

Fade Out is amazing

A Wolf At The Door is outstanding too

[azure nimbus]

I think Lucky would be better as a closer than The Tourist though

[scenic loom]

too much radio not enough head

[iron topaz]

amnesiac 😭😭🤤🤤🤤

[obsidian sage]

HELL NO?!

The Tourist is like...

The Greatest fucking closer ever

[rotund oasis]

kid named motion picture soundtrack:

[soft burrow]

Twins named Wolf At The Door and Life In A Glasshouse:

[obsidian sage]

That ain't even the closing track to Kid A

[rotund oasis]

yes it is >:(

untitled is a bonus track

[obsidian sage]

merp

[sterile galleon]

do people still say merp?

based

[azure nimbus]

But Lucky is a much more coherent song :D

[obsidian sage]

Not rlly...

Lucky is the one song in OKC I still haven't exactly figured out LMAO

But that doesn't even matter

Lucky isn't enough of a "bang"

As much as I love Lucky

...Deadass

[obsidian sage]

I understand the Chorus and the Overrall Sentiment of the Track though

Lucky is perfect where it is

I honestly would fuck with Lucky as the Opener too... like hard

[lofty inlet]

Hurt was the end of “the downward spiral”

[obsidian sage]

Yuh

Great Closer

[sterile galleon]

probably either ok computer or the bends

i started with the bends but it didnt click with me until after i listened to ok compterr

[rotund oasis]

How used are you to experimental music?

do you like those?

hmmm

well just listen to this https://open.spotify.com/album/6GjwtEZcfenmOf6l18N7T7?si=ab22a7d918ff4273

[vernal trellis]

falling for you by radiohead is so good

i love billie's vocals

[raw isle]

There's a new song by The Smile coming out tommorow:)

And the album is supposed to be out by the end of the year

[sterile galleon]

wowzers

does this mean i should listen to smile album 1

[raw isle]

Yes!!

If you like Radiohead you should defiantly

It's kinda similar to In Rainbows in many ways

Here's the leaked cover art for the new record:

And the tracklist:

I'm happy they decided to put Bending Hectic on the tracklist - I think that was my favorite performance they did when I saw them live

[sterile galleon]

ok

[sterile galleon]

@lament valley

[lament valley]

Ohh cool!!!

[violet apex]

god i just just love the bends i love it so so good

expecially with headphones just amazing 10/10 album i have every song on my main playlist

[sterile galleon]

the bends is great

i dont love every track but i don't dislike any of them

[raw isle]

What is everyone's favorite song from The Bends?

[rotund oasis]

my iron lung :3

[sterile galleon]

my iron lung 100%

[novel briar]

current jam from the bends is black star

[winter dragon]

Nuclear take here, Ok Computer is consistently good but there’s like 4 standouts at best

And one of them to me is Electioneering (fight me)

[lofty inlet]

As long as you’re not an “exit music for a film” defender

[winter dragon]

Also I know this is speaking from hindsight but Kid A isn’t that experimental OVERALL, songs like Optimistic, The National Anthem, Motion Picture Soundtrack, How to Disappear Completely, and maybe even Morning Bell aren’t that out there

Treefingers and the title track gave it that reputation alongside starting off with Everything in It’s Right Place

[lofty inlet]

This one id disagree with.

[winter dragon]

I love these three tho

The title track is mad underrated too

[lofty inlet]

If you’re looking at songwriting structures sure I’d agree but when you look at the production stuff that they did?

[winter dragon]

The album is flawless for the first 6 songs imo

Not big on those last 4 but that’s on me

[lofty inlet]

I’m a “The bends” guy

[winter dragon]

For a band like them sure, but in the grand scheme of things I can’t see something like The National Anthem as nothing less than an absolute masterpiece that takes some stuff they liked and adds some mild radio interference

that’s not experimental that’s just liking Charles Mingus

[winter dragon]

Haven’t heard much of it except High and Dry (sorry) and like Planet Telex ig

[sterile galleon]

listen to my iron lung NOW

[winter dragon]

maybe

[sterile galleon]

its so good

[winter dragon]

AMNESIAC TREADMILL?!?!

[lofty inlet]

Just and my iron lung.. and street spirit..

[sterile galleon]

radiohead fans when they see the colors red and black

[sterile galleon]

oh yeah street spirit too

those are the two Holy Shit tracks on

[winter dragon]

That’s what’s memory loss looks like

[sterile galleon]

[lofty inlet]

I can’t think of a song I actively dislike on the bends

Bones is kinda meh tho

[sterile galleon]

same but i dont like sulk that much

bones is like a B

for bones

[lofty inlet]

I went through a phase where I REALLY liked sulk but most of the time it’s not great

[sterile galleon]

if sulk was on an overall better album like okc id hate it but on the bends its like Ok...

[winter dragon]

All I Need is overrated

[sterile galleon]

yeah

[winter dragon]

In Rainbows is PEAK for the first four songs and then All I Need happens

[sterile galleon]

nice dream is carried hard by the "if you think you are strong enough" part

[winter dragon]

mild mid point on an otherwise 10/10

[sterile galleon]

ok i still think its great but not THAT great

i dont really like house of cards...

[lofty inlet]

The middle of that album really gets mediocre until Just and my iron lung huh?

[sterile galleon]

yeah

[winter dragon]

If Creep was a random single off of The Bends every RH fan would like it

[sterile galleon]

yeah

[lofty inlet]

It’s still my favorite

[winter dragon]

I like Creep

[sterile galleon]

but if creep wasnt as crazy popular as it was radiohead wouldn't be anywhere near what it became post-creep

[lofty inlet]

Creep is a good song. For a long time my favorite from them.

[winter dragon]

I don’t mind it

[winter dragon]

Hmm

Valid

[lofty inlet]

I kinda really dislike a lot of Radiohead fans insistence on hate for creep

[sterile galleon]

imagine if creep didnt exist and radiohead just kept writing songs like pablo honey for their career or something

[winter dragon]

After All I Need the record goes into it’s weakest stretch until Jigsaw Falling Into Place happens

[sterile galleon]

yeah

[winter dragon]

Even then Faust Arp is amazing

[sterile galleon]

the first 4 tracks on IR though
...... holy god damn

[winter dragon]

And people swear on Reckoner like it ended their coma

also House of Cards is a chill vibe

[sterile galleon]

i dont hate any sonfs

[winter dragon]

But I can’t really redeem All I Need except for the bass

[sterile galleon]

it just gets weaker after the first 4 songs

[winter dragon]

just a bad follow-up to THE song that got me into Radiohead

I heard Creep in Guardians of The Galaxy vol 3 and didn’t think much of it but Weird Fishes made me listen to their holy trinity

[sterile galleon]

the song that got me into radiohead was the first one i heard

[winter dragon]

and some other stuff

[sterile galleon]

no surprises

[winter dragon]

I see

[winter dragon]

On god

Even if just two of those were back to back it would be like peak music

the ending of Nude into Weird Fishes omg how do you even

[sterile galleon]

the opening of bodysnatchers 🤤

its like actually insane how 4 of like my favorite radiohead songs are in consecutive order

[winter dragon]

I do not understand

[sterile galleon]

what do you not understand

[winter dragon]

What it is

I’ve done wrong

[sterile galleon]

OHHHH

im literally an idiot

do you have a favorite member of radiohad

[winter dragon]

No

[sterile galleon]

mines colin cause he seems nice

[winter dragon]

I appreciate them all equally but Thom is funny

I like Phil because he’s bald

[sterile galleon]

based

[winter dragon]

idk

[sterile galleon]

[iron topaz]

I am

[iron topaz]

RAD
10H
EAD

[lofty inlet]

It’s okay to be wrong.

[iron topaz]

theres people that don’t like exit music??

[lofty inlet]

Yeah

[iron topaz]

they should like it

im listening to it now

[raw isle]

What does everyone think of the new song from The Smile?

https://open.spotify.com/album/7w5rD7XcQufZshgBmTjDIJ?si=b75k0bodR6KJLVifbFGlxQ

I’m really liking it

Reminds me a bit of The Beatles

[sterile galleon]

i still have to listen to it

[sterile galleon]

ok listening right now and i quite like it so far

wow that was actually quite nice :)

iwv really liked all the songs from wall of eyes so far im excited for it

[static thistle]

weezer reference?

ill listen later

[sterile galleon]

its better than weezer friend of a friend

[static thistle]

no way

weezer foaf is peak

[raw isle]

What does everyone think of the new album from The Smile?

@tropic elbow thoughts?

[tropic elbow]

I thought it was really good

Bending Hectic has gotta be one of my new favs by them

I love the guitar in that song so much

The song title is pretty straightforward too

Lots of lightly bending guitars in the beginning before it transitions to a more hectic ending

[raw isle]

Yeah Bending Hectic is probably my favorite song they’ve released

[static thistle]

really good and better than the first by a lot

[sterile galleon]

i quite like it

my favorite track might be read the room with bending hectic as a very very close second

[raw isle]

Read the Room is such a cool track

It’s almost like they revisited ideas from the OK Computer era and sprinkled it into the song

That’s something that I really love about The Smile

It gives Thom and Jonny to revisit old ideas while still adding a modern and creative twist to the songs

Which is something they can’t really do as much with Radiohead because of how innovative and prestigious the band’s reputation has become
