For me, there are some Radiohead songs that are just fantastic, but others—like this one—I just can't stand. I can take only so much.

You noticed? RH's music is very good, but they seem to be chronically forlorn.

I've thought of this album as the 90's equivelent of Dark Side of the Moon ever since i first got hooked on it in '97 or 98... Brilliant album, hard to take any one song out. Should be listned to as a complete composition.

I agree wholeheartedly.  I was there, too, and we were culturally deprived by the whole "popular" music thing.  Creative depth like this was never heard among regular folks like us.  Obscure bands never made the Top 20 as we cheered the likes of Slade. Seeing Radiohead live in '97 changed my whole view of what music was about.  A lot of it was good fun in the '70's, but I am only now starting to appreciate some really diverse stuff.  Thanks RP, for enlightening me in my 50's.

I grew up in England in the 70s and amongst BayCity Rollers, Abba and Showaddywaddy I never did get to hear much Neil Young...

But when we hear 70s music now thats what we get to hear (mercifully)

The best Radiohead song ever.

Thom's new stuff all sounds the same to me.
Anybody heard "Judge, Jury, Executioner" by Atoms for Peace"? {#Snooty}
Sounds just like the last 3 albums he's put out.

I think you're trying to reach a new high in hyperventilating hyperbole. 

After one deducts points for the often semi-intelligible lyrics delivered by Yorke's thin, off-key voice, and the moony and sometimes torpid arrangements, I must admit that you are absolutely right, they're a great band.

ok - so in the last hour only - Radioparadise - the most amazing rock and roll based radio station ever has played the following artists:

Norah Jones, Dire Straits, Vieux Farka Toure, Buddy Holly, Cracker, Wilco, Elliot Smith, The Slow Show, Smashing Pumpkins, Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, Theivery Corporation, U2, Silverspun Pickups, Tom Petty and yeah, Radiohead.

So hugely popular and/or critically acclaimed acts from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90. 00's plus four more recently active bands I never would have heard of except for RP.

Dude - if you don't love the variety of this radio station go find something else.

Although I think slinging the abuse-label "troll" around at other commenters is a classic Internet bully tactic, practiced by delusional, self-appointed arbiters of propriety like you, Fred, I must abandon my policy on this occasion.   A troll, properly defined, would be a person who deliberately spoils the discussion for others by detracting from it with repetitive, negative comments that add no value.  For example, someone who hates cooking yet who frequents a cooking web-site and writes only about how much they hate cooking and how stupid everyone else is for liking cooking.  We don't really have any commenter like that here at RP.  People frequently post about songs or bands they don't like, but since there is no implied obligation to like every song or band, it's OK.  Only if someone didn't like music altogether, or more specifically, the music played here, on this station, and then posted comments to that effect on a regular basis, would they be worthy of such opprobrium. 

The only case I can think of at RP in which someone perhaps is worthy of such opprobrium is you, Fred, in relation to Radiohead.  Radiohead is probably the most frequently played band here and enjoys the highest ratings of almost any.  You don't like them, and you feel compelled to let the rest of us know about that over and over again.  Your posts are repetitive and, strictly speaking, don't add anything of constructive value.  Normally, I would defend your right to comment in that matter, if only as a matter of freedom of expression.  Often, it is a good thing to go against the majority, against the mob mentality, if you will.  But I think it is fair and accurate to point out the hypocrisy that exists in your case; because you are so fond of leveling the troll accusation at others. 

You preside here as our bully-in-chief.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the ultimate effect of your little reign of terror is that, with your impressive command of phrase and erudition, you squelch commentary.   We know of course that you do it literally, that can be demonstrated, yet the more damaging consequence is that you do it preemptively.

Don't feed the Fred.

 



 
I'd like to borrow Fred's literal squelch button to use on a few other commenters.  That sounds really nifty.

Also, while he may sound like a broken record when it comes to TY/Radiohead, he's no worse than any other user who has a negative comment in every song by a particular artist.  I think you're making too much of a nothing-thing.  Unless that trout slapping photo deeply offended you in a very personal way, in which case I apologize for trivializing your trauma. :(
