14 year old me sat in my dark room on a friday night drunk as fuck, went on thirdworlds and listened to this. First exposure to experimental hip hop, didn't expect anything like what I heard. Woke up the next day and just had to re listen to it. From there The Money Store blew me away even more.

Syro is the easiest to get into since SAW sounds outdated after 20-something years
>>72127560
Definitely Kid A

>>72128392
Money Store

>>72130281
What do you mean "bizarre", anon?

>>72130498
I mean to say that whatever the appeal for them is soars over my head. For some reason I don't understand the music. The only thing they have made that I've been able to enjoy was "The Tourist"

>>72130595
Did you hear "Climbing Up the Walls"?
Not trying to shill them to you, but that song has a very similar feel and it's one of my overall favorites.

>not being able to understand the appeal of a band as accesable as Radiohead
7/10 got me to reply

>>72130785
Yes, it sounds alright. I don't like it.
>>72130816
My intention is not to bait. Radiohead simply does not meet my conception of enjoyable music. It's not accessible to me; when I listen to it the only strong reaction I have is one of confusion. It feels as if I'm wasting time by hearing it.

>>72130936
>My intention is not to bait
>It's not accessible to me
Way to contradict yourself, Radiohead is super accessible and I refuse to believe someone who browses /mu/ (and therefore doesn't just listen to radio music) is this fucking stupid.

>>72130985
If it were accessible to me, I would, self-evidently, be able to understand the appeal of it. I don't understand the appeal of the music, ergo it is not accessible to me. I have failed to "access" the essence of the music which renders it pleasing to the ear. Don't think that I'm attempting to claim that Radiohead is not universally accessible, understand that my original claim was that the music is "bizarre" to me.

>>72130595
Not even The Bends?

I was browsing /v/ and just on an off chance I saw a random off topic thread on /v/ about living in Japan in the 80's had a random anon post the Daicon IV video saying ">tfw you will never be an otaku in the late 70's/80's". I was pretty curious so I checked out the video he posted.

https://youtu.be/-840keiiFDE?t=156

Watched the whole thing, loved it then watched it again. Had to find out where the music originated from, found Time, listened to the whole album and then again. It became my favourite album of all "Time" and that got me into ELO pretty much.

/v/ also got me into Toshiki Kadomatsu from someone posting "Sea Line "Rie"" and I was hooked from there. I listen to a lot of Japanese Funk/Rock/R&B and more these days.

>>72131123
I listened to that, Kid A, and OK Computer - in that order - before I abandoned my pursuit of something to enjoy in Radiohead's music.

Soundtracks for the Blind of all things

The Powers That B though TMS was what cemented them for me

I've only listened to Illinoise but I liked it so maybe that's the start

Same, though I don't think SAW 85-92 sounds outdated at all, or at least not in any negative way

I know it's a short discography, but it's what got me into the Smiths.
