  • Lol I haven't been here in 5 years but I decided to pop my head back in for some nostalgia. Seems like this was my last post so here's an update... I finally saw Radiohead live in Manchester in 2017 a

I don't understand it guys. I am sooo obsessed with Coldplay and Muse and people joke around and the bands they are most compared with is Radiohead. People say Muse sounds JUST LIKE Radiohead but... I keep looking up songs by them...

 

I dont like any of them D:

Maybe I'm not listening to the right songs...

Radiohead are a band that you either like or dislike. Nothing bad about not liking them :nice:

 

 

 

Those comparisons are stupid

like eddie said, there's no problem not liking them. I think why people say that there's a similarity between Muse and Radiohead is that I find that Matt Bellamy's vocals are very similar to Thom Yorkes. Also I find that they both seem to look alike

Haha, aw man. I really wanted to like them...

Haha, aw man. I really wanted to like them...

 

give them time.

 

I listened to OK Computer at first and loved Karma Police and Exit Music (well really the drums part) from the get go. I couldn't get through the album because I found them too depressing. Then I rediscovered them. I don't remember how or when, but I started listening to them and I really love them now. There has not been one band (except the beatles), that I have been so obsessed with and don't get sick of.

 

so perhaps you may not like them not but will later.

 

 

also what songs/albums are u listening to?

Haha, aw man. I really wanted to like them...

 

Haha, I'm the same. Also an avid Muse and Coldplay fan, though I don't dislike Radiohead. I bought their greatest hits album and quite like a majority of songs, especially High & Dry, Karma Police and Paranoid Android.

Do NOT buy the Greatest Hits album.

 

this.

 

start with okc or bends

2009: The Year Everyone Turned on Radiohead

12/31/2009 By Josiah Hughes

 

Just like they did in the '90s, Radiohead topped a bunch of decade lists with their '00s albums Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows. As the decade comes to a close, however, the band's universal acclaim is waning.

 

In 2009 alone, everyone from rappers to tween pop stars to indie rock legends have found a reason to complain about the UK experimental rockers. From whining about Thom Yorke's lack of award-show schmoozing to the band's pay-what-you-want model, nearly everyone has had something bad to say about Radiohead.

 

With the band scheduled to enter the studio in January, there are few signs that Radiohead will be slowing down in years to come. But next time around, they might not be topping the decade-end lists with this kind of reputation.

 

Here are eight examples of Radiohead hate in '09.

 

EMI reissues classic Radiohead albums after the band refuses to renew contract with the label

 

The first major “fuck you” came to Radiohead from their long-time label, EMI. When the band opted not to re-sign after their contract expired, EMI went ahead and reissued all their previous albums. It was a shameless cash grab, and one that the band probably wouldn't have endorsed.

 

Miley Cyrus disses Radiohead after Grammy snub

 

After the 2009 Grammys, tween pop sensation Miley Cyrus tried to hang out with Thom Yorke and co. backstage. When they refused, she lashed out to the media, calling them “stinkin' Radiohead.” In their defence, Cyrus is easily the most irritating human being on earth.

 

Kanye strikes out at Radiohead in his VH1 Storytellers appearance

 

Cyrus wasn't the only one to get snubbed at the Grammys, however. Kanye West also got a cold shoulder from Yorke, which led him to diss the band during his VH1 Storytellers appearance. The diss didn't air on TV, but it will be included on the DVD of the performance, due in February.

 

Radiohead management advises them to break up

 

The Radiohead hate was coming from inside the camp, too. In May, it was revealed that the band's own management advised them to break up instead of releasing In Rainbows. Might want to hire some better representation, gents.

 

Kim Gordon slams the Radiohead pay-what-you-want model

 

Radiohead's pay-what-you-want model for In Rainbows attracted a lot of attention across the globe. But if anyone deserved to call bullshit on it, it was Sonic Youth vet Kim Gordon, who called the move a “marketing ploy,” plain and simple.

 

DJ Paul Van Dyk blasts the Radiohead pay-what-you-want model

 

At the opposite end of the musical spectrum, DJ Paul Van Dyk had similar sentiments about the pay-what-you-want model, saying that the idea was “very selfish.” That means the band managed to piss off legendary post-punks and trance club dudes in one fell swoop!

 

Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger hates on Radiohead

 

This diss from the Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger sort of backfired. The outspoken musician lashed out at the band for their song about WWI vet Harry Patch. Thinking they were associating themselves with music theorist Harry Partch, he lashed out at the band and spent the next month back-pedalling.

 

Spin suggests that Radiohead “kinda blow”

 

The most ridiculous of the Radiohead disses came from alt-rock rag Spin. The magazine, which has hosted the band on its cover several times, sought web traffic with a ridiculous editorial in December, suggesting that, among other things, the band “kinda blow.

 

Howyousawtheworld calls Radiohead poor on Coldplaying.com

 

Just seeing if you read the article. Of course, I, Briggins added this one.

I don't understand why so many people hate on Radiohead? Hating on Radiohead is like kicking a brick wall. They don't give a shit, they never do.

good point.

 

honestly i've always kinda hated how some artists/bands just go at each other over and over again... i think it's stupid, childish, and a waste of time

good point.

Yeah, it's a bit pathetic to just go on and on about it when no one really cares. Most of them are probably just doing it to get publicity.

this.

 

start with okc or bends

 

Haha ok, will do :nice:

Well being a person who doesn't really know much about the band I thought it might be a good place to start. Clearly I was very wrong :P :D

Haha. I probably would have too.

 

EMI released the Best Of after Radiohead left them. So Radiohead didn't want that to happen :(

Ahhh I see. Bastards :P

The EMI reissues were pretty good, it would have been a shameless cash grab if they just stuck out the albums with only some live tracks bolted on, but with the b-sides on they were good :)

The best hate is prob in this month's Q magazine when they get somebody from the television to give his opinions on some selected upcoming 2010 releases, I think of the 10 upcoming releases the person said bad things about 9 of them and said he was going to get the 10th based on a track from their last album!
