So, I'm considering RADIOHEAD

I got into Radiohead through a friend, but not in the way you'd think; a certain member of this forum who was (and still is :D) completely obsessed with Coldplay was kinda wanting to get into some "similar" bands (a term I use kinda loosely), such as Radiohead or U2. So, I got OK Computer, as I had a slight knowledge that it's considered to be their best album, but also one of the greatest albums of all time. I didn't really like the album at first, and deleted a bunch of songs (I basically kept Airbag, Paranoid Android, and Exit Music). Then, about a month later, I undeleted them, had another listen to the album, and really enjoyed it. So I got In Rainbows, which I fell in love with. Then The Bends, which, apart from a few tracks, I didn't (and still don't) really enjoy.

 

By this time, I was content with these three albums, and by the time I decided to get the rest, it was getting pretty close to my birthday/Christmas. So I didn't bother. Then I got the collector's edition of Pablo Honey (which is an album I like far more than The Bends. Commence flaming). Then about a fortnight ago I completed my Radiohead LP collection. And now Radiohead is one of my favourite bands. I'm not as completely massively diehard as some of the members of this forum, but I still really like them. Infact, I'm listening to a playlist of Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac on shuffle, because I haven't really given these albums the proper listen.

 

In short, I'm really glad you like these guys... they're definitely worth getting into if you have the time :)

 

^^^^sweet!

 

Deal is, the band evolves so much between releases that liking or disliking one album says very little about how you'll react to the others. I know extremely few radiohead fans who don't simultaneously loathe and love different radiohead albums.

 

That's true with all good bands, really. I'm yet to meet a Coldplay fan that likes all of their albums equally!

I got into Radiohead in 2006 or 2007, what now seems like ages ago. I started with a few OKC songs a friend sent to me and I liked them a lot so I eventually got the album. The second album I listened to was Amnesiac (can't even remember why I decided for it) and thought it didn't sound like Radiohead at all. I wasn't even sure I was listening to the same band but I liked what I heard nonetheless and decided to get moar albums. :wideeyed:

 

Can't say I'm the #1 fan, so on scale of 1 to 10 I'm probably 8-9? I've been listening to other bands and been a bit obsessive about them but Radiohead is still my favourite band ever...

 

 

Also, Talk Show Host is SUCH an amazing song. Good and sexy. :wacky:

Why do you feel weird for saying it? :surprised: Did you not like Radiohead before?

 

In regard to their voices sounding similar, it reminds me of a friend of mine from high school. I knew he was always into music, and now it turns out he made his own little record company and fronts a band (although it's Christian rock, so it's not really a "standard" band). He's a fan of Coldplay and Radiohead, and although he hasn't told me so, probably Muse. I watched one of his videos a few months ago and the first thing I thought was that his voice sounded like Matt Bellamy. :|
