To love Radiohead is to have a life long relationship. Can't think of any other band who will currently stand the test of time as well as they will..

listen 'matthewnitchsmith'
you are forever posting 'controversial' posts.
Winding people up, yeah.
and now it turns out you r a radiohead fan.
i bet u are. are you? or do u like them because it fits u r personality? like someone might wear khakis?
anyway im just fooling, i too like radiohead, joy division, brian eno (people.... some recognition).
radiohead are great, simply great, because they have done to music what the beatles did in the 60's. their music will be listened to in 50 years. I urge you to see them now so you can boast to your grandchildren. plus radiohead dont take themselves seriously but their fans do so much, which is refreshing.
isnt schindlers list a beautiful film?
from ohio jonny.

Finally, some recognition. I don't try to be overtly controversial, but some people really take message boards to seriously. I live in London. When you tire of it you tire of life they say. I love the Office reference.
Radiohead are the world's biggest cult band. They fit my personality like a glove because their music is genius.

How would you define cult? MNS?
Im interested, i really am?
I found your photo, sometimes i feel 'i laugh, and the world laughs AT ME.'
But what is within stays there. it is the only way.
Why are you genius? i sing in a band and think youre the next big thing. im right arent i?
arrogance is still arrogance and cannot be justified by its' hint of humour. No way.

Honest to God I am in a band. And we really are the Next Big Thing. I'm on the left, those people aren't my fellow band-mates. I don't know who they are. Humour justifies ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. If I told why I were a genius I would no longer be one. You wouldn't understand anyway.

Do you think Thom Yorke has a sense of humour? i would say he definitely does, in fact i bet he is a very funny man. ironically people think he doesnt have one, because it is so strong and so negative.
I like funny and am a funny guy, really.
But philisosphy tells us that it is not the be all and end all. Read some Mill and Bentham and you will understand that comedy which has negative consequences can only be justified if the positives outway the negatives, which in most cases is rare?
Where in london are you. The person that does my garden is from London. He says he has a house on oxford street..... where is this?! Sorry, during all of this, radiohead are is at the forefront of my mind.

In every interview I've read or seen Thom Yorke has come across as hysterical. Some people just associate giving a shit about music as moodiness.
PS a house in Oxford street would be pretty expensive to my knowlege. I come from a place called Wimbledon. Where they have the tennis.
Though I suppose humour is indeed not the be all and end all, I can't think of any concept more fitting or relevent. It is neither a good or bad world, but a mad one. While life's pretty good for me and I can smile, if something bad happened to me I would be biased therefore less qualified to judge.

OK Computer is probably the best reason why i <3 radiohead
how i'd put rh's albums
Ok computer > Kid A > The Bends > HTTT > Pablo Honey
songs i've been obsessed with at one point or another:
let down, fake plastic trees, everything in its right place, kid a, no surprises, karma police, i might be wrong, exit, talk show host
my first concert ever as well (1995) so very special band for me...

Radiohead are brilliant. The Bends is my personal favourite, and must end on the most haunting song ever in 'Street Spirit'. Not once have I listened to that album and not felt as though time hadn't just been warped. But then again, it is meant to be relative... :P
That dude who mentioned Bentham and Mill... Yeah, if you're a philosophical radical and believe utilitarianism to be a fool-proof philosophy. It's not. Buddha would have held that laughter does indeed take the sting out of our worst thoughts, and gives them a different perspective. What's more, very rarely are the comics also the perpetrators. It would be churlish to laugh in the face of immediate danger, but that also is rarely the case. Laughter often comes as an afterthought, when too much contemplation can only seemingly lead us down painful paths.

Obviously The Bends would be most bands' best album but I think it's over-rated as their BEST. I think that HTTT is underrated. OK computer and Amnesiac are my faves (with HTTT), they are "joint".

That's not completely true. It all depends who you're talking to. The general view is that, supposedly, Ok Computer is better than the Bends. I think they're both good albums.
HTTT? Are you fucking joking? That album sucked ass. If Radiohead release another album, I hope they buy back their guitars which they traded in for keyboards and drum machines and put out a better album.

Kid A and Amnesiac are by far my favourites.
Which of their music is "unaccessable"? This is not meant to be a personal attack on whoever wrote that, but in general, that term irritates me... maybe because its used a lot when stuff really isn't inaccessible. Actually, it just irritates me all the time.
Are Kid A and Amnesiad the 'unaccesable' ones because they are the most different from the ones that came before them? Blippy noises? Just because they're using a wide range of instruments (or sounds at least; haha) and interesting arrangements doesn't mean that their music is inaccessible. And just because a person likes something that another calls 'unacessable' doesn't mean they like it because of the supposed elitist clout it holds. Shit. Well, I guess I've met a person or two like that... but really. Don't assume that people are snobs...
...
As Ali G would say, "Whatever..."

yes some of the music is "unaccessable" (I thought all of you interpol fans would be snobs who think thats a good thing), yes they have been overexposed, blah-de-blah blah blah.

I was making fun of who ever said radiohead's music is "unaccessable". Its not, its just music, thats my point. And I wasnt calling radiohead fans snobs, although I know plenty who are, but interpol fans snobs, because thats a popular misconception, and one I find really amusing. If you had bothered to read my entire entry, you might have understood the sardonic undertones, as well as caught on to the fact that I am a huge radiohead fan (as well as an interpol fan), and have been for a while. We are, in fact, on the same side when it comes to pushy elitist music snobs.
I think KidA is the best album, not becuase its "unaccessable" but because I like it.

Are YOU fucking joking? The songwriting on HTTT is purely fantastic, and shouldn't be taken for granted. If you want them to just repeat your favourite formula over again, you're turning to the wrong band.
You must be deaf if you can't hear the amazing guitars on HTTT, in fact Slash (although I don't like him), said that it's the best and most inventive guitar work he's heard in a decade.
