Radiohead? Is it me?

On the radio at the moment. One of the biggest bands in the world but sounds like a dreary load of old bollocks to me.

Funny you should say that. Recently I thought there must be something in them, so I bought 3 albums - have listened to all several times and just don't get it, but one of my best mates absolutely adores them ??

They can be very dreary. I did see Thom Yorke do something very funny at a gig once though (on tv, I wasn't there). A memeber of the audience yelled "cheer up" at him and he responded by performing Creep in the style of a George Formby ditty. Made me chuckle.

definatly dreary as in bleak and somber.

if you are forced to listen a few time however you realise its quite good. not my cup of tea, i'd rather have something more cheerfull.

The Bends and OK Computer are EXCEPTIONAL albums but personally I don't dig the rest as much and would tend to agree they can get a bit dreary.

I thought Kid A was a pile if shite and yet it's regularly hailed as a work of art

 

[Badger]

Radiohead is good suicide music

I quite like OK Computer, but all the rest is just a bit dull and samey

 

[bhafc99]

Doesn't do anything for me either.

no its not just you, i bought Hail To The Thief and TRIED to like it but only put up with one song...

 

[Simon Morgan]

They're clearly good musicians but their songs are often quite sombre. I can see why people wouldn't like them, but I think they're brilliant. Kid A is fantastic

 

[Benny Seagull]

the greatest band of my generation without any question (i'm 22 by the way) and in rainbows is sublime. i can see how some of it can be deciphered as 'dreary' but i like it and tom's lyrics are always amazing.

I don't really like them. Coldplay are much better.

and Editors are a great blend of the two

 

[Row Z Creased Shirt]

First three albums great, with The Bends being the pick, I've not got into their more recent stuff at all.

You've done it now. Don't you realise it is a NSC rule that you are NEVER allowed to say anything positive about Coldplay. NEVER under any circumstances.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Radiohead were great but after Ok Computer dissapeared up their own backsides never to be seen again, much like Oasis did after What's the Stiory, Morning Glory.

 

[MattBackHome]

I think they're impossibly brilliant

clearly neither of you have a clue what you're talking about. and this is why i won't be discussing music tastes on a message board any further. trying to convince people that theirs is just plain shit is a waste of time.
