Planet Teletex is one song Im missing aswell from My Bends album. Someone must have deleted it!!!

mexico show :cry:

well I still have one month or so to get tickets

 

 

 

I just cant take it anymore but

 

coldplay is not my favourite band anymore

 

 

Thats happened to me sooooo many times but then I always go back to Coldplay. But even if you dont it don't really matter, its your taste and you shouldn't say this is your fave band just because you loved them first, especially if that band is Radiohead.

 

 

But Here's fingers crossed you go back to Coldplay:P

It's weird with Radiohead for me: I have always enjoyed The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows, but for some reason I just can't get into their other albums (excluding a select few songs). It's not that I haven't given the other albums a chance, because I have listened to songs from them. I've tried many, many times to get into the widely titled "masterpiece" Kid A. I have not listened to it all the way through start to finish, which many people say is the only way to go, so maybe I can try that. I'm pretty sure that the three albums I listed are considered to be what the general public thinks are Radiohead's best. Like I said, it's not that I haven't tried with the other albums. I suppose that I'm just not really a fan of the more electronic sound.

honestly those three albums (Kid A, Amnesiac, and HTTT) are the most experimental of their albums. I found them to be the most difficult to get into because at the time I did not like that kind of music. However once you get into it, the albums are great!

yes, I recently got onto hail to the thief, that's why I'm oficialy a converted radioheader :P well I've always been but never more than a coldplayer

Yeah, especially with Kid A, you have to listen all the way through a few times.

 

When I first got Kid A I was like "wtf?" after the first listen. But I kept listening and after a few weeks it finally clicked and now it's maybe my favorite Radiohead album.

I like more Amnesiac than Kid A, I found Amnesiac more original, but I do not know why, maybe because of the guitar :P

Kid A is their least accesible album, so it's easy to be dismayed by all the hype. In fact you know you're listening to the right album if you cringed frequently throughout your first listen.

The three you mentioned are my favorite too, but Kid A can't be directly compared with them, it's sort of on a different level altogether. I suggest forcing yourself to listen ALL the way through (no matter how much it hurts :P) some night with the lights turned off and nothing to distract you. Once you get past the initial dissonances and oddities, a powerfully beautiful component begins to rise to the surface.

 

Try making it through a couple times, and also forget to compare it to their previous albums. I'm sure most people who are in love with Kid A today, hated it the first time through. I did anyway...

Once you become a Radioheader, you can't change back to a coldplayer. :glasses2:

from least accesible to more accesible (imo)

hail to the thief

amnesiac

kid a

ok computer

in rainbows

the bends

pablo honey

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think if you were used to radiohead's previous sound you will hate kid a at the first listen, but if you were not, then you will find kid a their most accesible album...

well maybe I'm nuts

imo:

 

Kid A

Amnesiac

HTTT

In Rainbows

OK Computer

Pablo Honey

The Bends

maybe you're right, if someone asked me on how to get into radiohead I'd say immediately to get the bends (because almost everyone knows creep)

well, tough thing about radiohead is their legacy can't be defined by any one album. Each one is distinct and different. To truly understand Radiohead's music you'll almost have to listen to every single one of their albums. But I always recommend OK computer because I believe it to be their best.

Radiohead did'nt win at the brits, Unlucky!!

Easiest to get into-least (imo):

 

In Rainbows

The Bends

OK Computer

Pablo Honey

HTTT

Amnesiac

Kid A

 

 

the problem I have with this is pablo honey because honestly i don't really consider it a Radiohead album but almost more of an On a Friday album (name of the band prior to being called radiohead).. also it doesn't really fit with the rest

maybe you're right, if someone asked me on how to get into radiohead I'd say immediately to get the bends (because almost everyone knows creep)

 

I always recommend the Bends for first listen.

 

Most Accessible to Least.

1. The Bends

2. In Rainbows

3. OK Computer

4. Hail to the Thief

5. Pablo Honey

6. Amnesiac

7. Kid A

I think In Rainbows is definitely the most accessible. I'm giving a copy to my mom :D After that it's The Bends and Ok Computer. Then all the electronic shit.

But, I love them all. I got into OK Computer first (along with Kid A). So, all good.

The first radiohead album i listened to was kid A, but i thought it was great right away!:D

Thanks for the intelligent responses, guys. If I had posted this on a Radiohead forum, I feel that it's likely that I would have been bashed a lot by now. :uhoh2: I probably should try listening to Kid A all the way through without distractions when I get the chance.

Yeah, before I judge any album I try to intently listen through it 3 times by myself. I usually feel I've gotten a decent impression when I can look over the tracklist and can pretty well remember what each song and some of the lyrics are like. but don't feel bad if you don't like it, even after a couple listens. Not everyone likes the same stuff.

i'm finding more and more that this section of CPing, World of Music is becoming a place for former CP fans to "cool off" as they lose interest in the band they once loved. most of us who do post here regularly i'm sure joined this thread as a hardcore crazy CP fan but as the years have drawn on and the bands worldwide popularity reached enormous heights we have started to find them a little less interesting and exciting. i'm writing this mostly from personal experience but also from alot of friends i've made from World of Music who like me joined CPing as huge fans of the boys but are now more interested in other acts. now i'm not implying that CP are a crap band, i still have alot of respect for them (otherwise i would not of paid $120 to go see them) but i think, i like alot of you have discovered a "world of music" outside of coldplay. which is just as good if not better at times.

 

now going back on topic. i remember late last year i introduced radiohead to a friend of mine who had very little interest in music. i told him beforehand that it took me weeks and weeks to get accustomed to the radiohead sound so he should be patient with them. he came back to me less than a week later telling me that he was madly in love with their music already and that he already bought In Rainbows and OK Computer and was going to get the bends. so i guess its different for everyone or maybe it had to with the fact that he hadn't really heard much music before radiohead.

nicely put. for me it's the same thing. i mean i joined somewhat recently, but i was always around this forum every once in a while looking for coldplay news/opinions. it's funny to see over the years though how our musical tastes change. i mean i was talking to my brother a few days ago and the topic was brought up that imagine if we could tell/show our former selves what music we listen to today, how we'd (past we) probably say "what are you on?"...lol. Although I don't see in the near future a time where I will no longer be obsessed w/ radiohead I know that that day will come because it has for so many other bands (floyd, zeppelin, the who, coldplay etc).

I always recommend the Bends for first listen.

I completely agree.

 

 

 

The first album I "got" was In Rainbows, I hadn't heard any of their songs so I downloaded it free. I didn't really like it much but I wanted so desperately to be a fan that I pretended I liked them all and said so just to try to convince myself. Then I got The Bends and after falling in love I listened again to In Rainbows and suddenly I actually liked it.

so i guess its different for everyone or maybe it had to with the fact that he hadn't really heard much music before radiohead.

 

I'm not sure if this had anything to do with my posts, but if it does: I am a fan of The Bends/OK Computer/In Rainbows. It's Radiohead's more electronic sound that hasn't done it for me.

 

Well, big Coldplay fans also post in World of Music. They want to discuss more than just Coldplay. It's not very interesting just being into one band for one's entire life. Personally, I found Viva la Vida to be amazing at first, but now I've been disappointed with Coldplay's "new" sound. I prefer their older stuff. But anyway, it is true that a lot of the people who post on this board are no longer fans of Coldplay. I wasn't saying that this wasn't true, merely that people post here for other reasons as well.

Hey Nina, ella, briggs, everyone! Are we still having a rh party on friday or have we changed of plans? :wacky:

 

 

Btw, i'm addicted to ammesiac now :wacko:
