Yeah. That's right he doesn't sound like a meowing cat, but rather someone who's just had a stroke. What Yorke was singing in that song it was a bloody mess! And the irritation of that voice... it tore me! Coldplay are greater, if you think Radiohead are better then why the hell are you on this site? Go to the Radiohead forum to discuss this heavily depressing and overrated band. Record sales for rock bands don't lie, that argument is completely worthy. More people think Coldplay are better so it can only be true that they are better than Radiohead... but hey that's just an opinion. I don't hate Thom Yorke, I just think he's a very hypocritical, arrogant being. I can't stand people who write motivated songs motivated by individual politicians. Yorke wrote a song about George W Bush and showing his disgust of the man. I didn't like Chris Martin's public criticism of Bush during the period of the Iraq war, so just realise how mad I was when I realised Yorke had written a song about Obama taking over from Bush. Plus Yorke is a massive hypocrite. He goes on about "save the world" yet has the bloosy cheek to go on 1 and a half year tours all around the world. Unless the planes were powered from his own farts then I take that back. Which reminds me, if Yorke farted in to a microphone it'd be given critical praise as well.

 

Well you might want to take it back since the impacts of the environment were considered heavily for this tour. In fact they almost didn't go on tour completely because of how damaging to the environment a world tour can be.

In fact they have a whole section on their website talking about this sort of stuff:

My favourite thing about you is that every time you hit the "submit reply" button you are making yourself look like an idiot because you're just saying more and more about stuff you have no idea about and personal opinions which bear no weight.

 

And I get the opportunity to show that I actually know what I'm talking about!

 

P.S. Which song is about Obama taking over from Bush?

this thread is funny, stupid, pointless, boring, lame and awesome at the same time. but i still enjoyed reading through the entire thing and reading the pathetic arguments people had against radiohead. for me there's only a handful of things i dislike about radiohead. for the benefit of those of you who are intellectually disadvantaged i will put it in point form

 

- thoms lyrics are at times all over the place and illogical

- most of their music really only has one mood and thats depressing

- besides thom the rest of the band lack any sort of personality

- they're nothing special live on stage

- haven't toured australia in 5yrs ie no respect for fans

- their arrogance doesn't bother me too much but it would be nice if they weren't like that

 

this is coming from someone who owns every radiohead record, dozens of bootlegs, every dvd and can basically recite the tracklisting of any album (except pablo) at request.

 

- thoms lyrics are at times all over the place and illogical

 

Good point. Sometimes you just have no idea what he is going on about.

 

- most of their music really only has one mood and thats depressing

 

Its true alot of their music does have a bleak undertone to it. What is interesting is the way they make beauty out of heartbreak. Like HTDC.

 

- besides thom the rest of the band lack any sort of personality

 

Unless you follow the band you don't really know much about the band. Its just more of the frontman as the only member syndrome that occurs with alot of bands. Like U2...Bono takes all the spotlight and Larry is usually just in the shadow.

 

- they're nothing special live on stage

 

What I find special though is the way that they are able to still make their live sound sound as good or better than their studio albums since some studio songs seem like they would be impossible to pull off live (i.e. The Gloaming)

Or if it is impossible they have the flexibility to rework a song completely (such as Like Spinning Plates)

 

- haven't toured australia in 5yrs ie no respect for fans

 

Good point. Things like the webcasts do show respect for fans though, and broadcasting a full show last tour on radiohead.tv.

 

- their arrogance doesn't bother me too much but it would be nice if they weren't like that

 

They are different ducks, but at the same time it is nice the way that they have been able to keep their private life's well private.

Coldplay are greater, if you think Radiohead are better then why the hell are you on this site?

 

Because Radiohead is not the only band I listen to. In fact, Coldplay would probably be in my Top 6 bands.

 

More people think Coldplay are better so it can only be true that they are better than Radiohead... but hey that's just an opinion.

 

I don't think you realize how stupid that statement sounds. You start off by saying something that sounds like a fact, but add "It's just an opinion" at the end.

 

Which reminds me, if Yorke farted in to a microphone it'd be given critical praise as well.

 

Fuck yes!

I seriously don't know how this thread is still going. Aren't half the posts saying how stupid the original poster is?

 

We all know how great Radiohead is, but isn't that what the Radiohead thread is there for?

 

 

 

[/rant]

All this thread has accomplished is creating another RH thread (there are what, three now that are getting good traffic) where most of it is praise for the band. With a little extra thrown in (the douche who started this mess)

Briggs, I salute you. You are the baddest cat on the board. :hug:

Radiohead don't even compare to Oasis, U2. Just because I don't like Radiohead, doesn't mean I'm stupid. I'm right, but I ain't stupid! Radiohead are PRETENTIOUS BORING SHITE!

P.S - Come back if you even DARE say that Radiohead have a song as genius as Fix You or The Scientist. If you don't think they're as good as any Radiohead song... then there is no God.

Paranoid Android

bam.

How To Disappear Completely.

Bam.

Are you a troll? Just wondering.

Fix You is damn overrated, there's nothing genius about that song. It's a simple love song and, yes it's pretty, but it's blah. Nothing special. Fake Plastic Trees, for example, pwns that song everyday. Or House of Cards, if we're going to look at love songs.

Bam.

I don't really get why Fake Plastic Trees and Fix You are being compared considering that they have nothing to do with each other. :uhoh:

 

Well, besides the fact that they both begin with "F."

Hahaha i like both songs but I just said that cos the guy lost it and made me laugh with this post :
