So far i think this band is mediocre at best. I've heard:

Creep (trashy generic song, very dull)

Reckoner (catchy but the Gnarls Barkly version is 10x better, plus cee lo can sing it well live)

People keep telling me this band is actually great but so far i haven't heard anything special. Post a song you think would change my opinion on this band.
>>
I agree with you.

they're just muh high-end production and muh panning and stereo effects in band form. nothing special or of note. I'd hard next them in favour of some Jon Hopkins any day.

Here (you) go


Go listen to a full album
>>
>>74412600
recommend an album then.
>>
>>74412469
Less generic sounding, but the music is still really simplistic when compared to praise they get.
>>
It's totally fine to not like them, but don't decide that after listening to 2 songs. If you like beautiful pop listen to In Rainbows, Ok Computer if you want well produced somewhat 70s esque alternative
>>
>>74412343
Are those the only two songs you've heard so far? Everyone knows Creep isn't that good of a song, and it's been overplayed to death over the years.

Kid a / okcomputer ?

>>74413519
fuck, meant to reply to >>74412343
>>
>>74412638
Listen to every LP they released since 97' up to 03'
>>
Their best song is "Street Sprit (Fade Out)":
https://youtu.be/LCJblaUkkfc

>>74412343
Just listen to Amnesiac. They aren't the best band ever, but they are not mediocre either.
>>
>>74412343
>I don't like x, convince me otherwise
fuck off, nobody fucking cares
>>
>>74412343
Karma Police is somewhat mainstream but is a must have in a lot of my mixes.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=1uYWYWPc9HU
>>
The only song I remember particularly enjoying from OK Computer was Paranoid Android. I think regardless of preference that's a great song in general.
>>
Another great song is "No Surprises":
https://youtu.be/u5CVsCnxyXg
>>
>>74414479
I second that notion.
>>
you listen to two songs from a band then come ask mu why you should like them?
i mean, i dont really care about radiohead, but still.
at least listen to the albums that everyone says are classics from them.
>>
Honestly what do you like?
Radiohead is great for three main reasons--great songwriting, interesting and beautiful sounds and great arrangement.

If youre into more electronic just listen to Kid A or amnesiac. Any songs of them will do, just listen to a few to get a feel for it.

Imo In Rainbows is their best and certainly easy to like. Very guitar based compared to some other stuff. Some cool time signatures and whatnot.

Their newest, a moon shaped pool is also great. Check out daydreaming, glass eyes and present tense for some sad stuff.
>>
>>74412638
Kid A and Amensiac are their best. if you like those, then the only other good album is probably the King of Limbs. everything else isn't worth checking out
>>
If I had to choose one song it would be Idioteque
>>
>>74414766
fyi OP this is a super unpopular opinion. King of Limbs is generally regarded as one of their worst
>>
>>74414795
if you're a pleb that is
>>
>>74412343
Listen to jigsaw falling into place.
>>
>>74412638
ignore the fools, In Rainbows is the best place to start.
>>
>>74412638
Hail to the Thief
>>
Radiohead aren't hard to get. They are an easy favourite band since they have such a solid discography that fits different moods, yet all their albums are cohesive and listenable. They've been my favourite band since I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I recently got to see them live and had a nice big tear up when they played All I Need.
>>
This one should do it. The most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Nude

>>
>>74416395
It's especially beautiful if you know the meaning behind it....
>>
>>74416340
It's a decent band. I agree.
>>
>>74412343
Theyre an actually decent rock and roll band. Back when people that made rock smoked pot and drank beers and didnt have dress codes for their album release show and try to be high class.
>>
Listen to Kid A, the whole thing, in order, in one sitting (pretty sad having to point this out but seeing how you're a loose track pleb it's worth mentioning)
>>
>>74412513
This reads kind of like a Dril tweet
>>
>>74412343
I dislike both of those songs desu
>>
isnt it obvious that this post is bait. Says he only heard two radiohead songs and they were creep (obviously meant to trigger radiohead fans) and a song sung be cee lo green (another trigger). He also, despite apparently only hearing two songs, knew the singers name to throw up the image. Its bait. Fuck u guy
