Okay well maybe you should listen to them again

 

The record label licensed the song, they didn’t. The label made a greatest hits album against their wishes as well before they got out of their deal.
It’s fine to not listen to Radiohead who cares but to say you tried and only listened to creep on rock band isn’t trying.

 

didn’t you at least enjoy OK Computer as well? Let Down is one of the better songs on that one

 

@CarpetElf I could easily see you not being into their Kid A / Amnesiac phase cause it’s more brooding and weird

but it doesn’t make sense to me if you don’t at least like half of OKC and half of HTTT

 

this is good

 

I am so with you on these Radiohead takes.

 

True Radiohead discog starts with The Bends

 

I like brooding and weird. It's just not memorable to me

 

Eh, I feel like if you didn't recognize any of the songs @Dinkleberg named you didn't try that hard, but it's okay, no one's forcing you to

he picked like one from every album haha

 

Listening to stuff once and saying "it's just not memorable" isn't how you'd treat any other band that you honestly wanted to see what everyone else likes about it. MOST music I listen to, I gotta hear a couple times before it's "memorable".

Granted, I get that people get real condescending and pretentious about Radiohead (including, in this very thread right now), so I get why that would be offputting and why you wouldn't want to give it a chance if it doesn't "grab you" right away.

But they're not that kind of band. They didn't grab me right away either. Their shit definitely gets better with every listen, the more you hear the small details.

 

i've listened to their discography all the way through on three separate occasions and then songs here and there

 

Prove it

 

i don't know how i'm supposed to do that

 

Some people like one kind of music and some dont

 

so controversial

 

clearly illegal

 

sorry figured we needed to hear it since the Radiohead conversation dragged on forever

 

I remember when i was like 20 or 21, I downloaded idk, the entire beastie boys discography and maybe a few other bands too. had one of those sick 80 or 100 GB ipod classics or whatever the storage was on it

never listened to it

 

incredible story

 

Beastie Boys are not my thing.

 

Radiohead is amazing

 

it is not lol

 

there isn't another era of the band's career where they've tried to sound like anyone else. hell, even on most of pablo honey, they aren't trying to do that. creep is a pastiche of grunge and it's a bad attempt at it. bad song.

 

top 5 radiohead tracks are (chronologically) let down, lift, optimistic (specifically the live from the basement version), there there and nude. accept no substitutes.
