Radiohead as Howard Roark, never thought about The Bends that way, but it kinda fits. I love the album too.

Yeah, that pretty much hits the nail on the head. From what I remember, after The Bends, they started doing a lot of their own production. Luckily, they're good at it. I can remember the strange feeling I had after hearing Kid A for the first time. "I don't know what just happened, I'm fairly sure I'll never be the same, but I like it...a lot." Kid A was a "fuck you" album. They're a fuck you band. From the "cha-chunks" in Creep to Thom Yorke's in your face weirdness in the Lotus Flower video, they've always seemed like the kind of band that, if they were Voltron, would form into a giant middle finger. High and Dry? Fuck you, mate. That said, I don't give a shit if they hate High and Dry. It's a great song. |

I saw Robert Plant at a (relatively) small venue in London in '91. Half-way through the show the guitarist played the opening to Stairway to Heaven. Just as the crowd erupted, Planty started yawning and that was that. Fuck you. I've never understood why he felt the need to shit on his audience like G.G. Allen. Maybe it was just so we'd stop waiting and hoping.

the bends was nigel godrich's first album with them. i remember reading that greenwood and yorke loved his production but were panicked they would become another disposable pop band.
someone turned them on to krautrock particularly, can, and that changed their direction. a few years ago there was a country/western band called the country bends that did radiohead songs, particularly that album. they did an awesome version of black star. i can't find them anywhere though |

From huff:
It's almost as if Radiohead takes glee in reminding its fan base that they'll never record another album that sounds anything remotely like "Ok Computer." Ever since the release of "Kid A" in 2000, some fans have been beside themselves with frustration over the band's patent refusal to give them exactly what they want. And "The King Of Limbs" may be the final straw. Fortunately, BBC Comedy has perfectly spoofed the plight of Radiohead devotees with this short about a support group for fans of the band's earlier work. |

I'm actually liking the new album the more I hear of it. Trying to stay away from comparisons to earlier work, because, frankly, most of it can't be matched for quality.

I always liked Creep and now just found Karma Police and love it. Other music I love: Beatles (obviously a big influence on this band, especially JOhn Lennon), Genesis, Rush, YES, David Bowie, CSNY, Pink Floyd, Joe Jackson, and yes Ben Folds Five, Foo FIghters/Nirvana And yeah I like the popular Smashing Pumpkins songs. Haven't listened to any others though. I can see both these bands influenced by John Lennon especially how they sing Last edited by CrimsonFox : 03-30-2011 at 02:41 PM. |

That's cuz they're awesome.
Radiohead (and to a lesser extent Tool) were my gateway drugs as far as music goes. They led me to Yes, King Crimson and the world of Prog Rock.

...although I must say that my opinion of Radiohead's latest hasn't changed. Really don't like the album. Given it a few chances, It's just that there's not a single song that jumps out at me at all.

Funny I was JUST reading about the history of lineup changes for King Crimson yesterday, located here. King Crimson | Biography Robert Fripp sounds like a total git that no one liked working with and he didn't seem to want to work with anyone else. Cool music though. I hadn't realized Greg Lake formed ELP AFTER he was in King Crimson. I did know about BIll Bruford switching from Yes to KC though. |

Yup, Lake is a big reason why King Crimson's debut is such a good album IMO. I don't care a lot for ELP after their debut, but most of the tracks that I really like on the subsequent ELP albums I've heard were written by Lake (From The Beginning, Still... You Turn Me On). Fripp definitely comes off as a bit of a douche, at least early on. Pretty common with talented musicians though... Basically everything he released as KC until Red, even Lizards and In the Wake... which a lot of people don't like, is a classic to my ears.

I got an email last night, as I imagine others did who bought the music in the preorder did, and they sent a link to download 2 new tracks that didn't make the album. They are Supercollider and The Butcher. I like both of them. In fact, they are two of the better songs if you put them against King of Limbs.

Radiohead is going to be in town to tape an episode of "Austin City Limits" on March 6th, and have a concert the next night. I'm definitely going to try and get tix for the ACL show, but the odds aren't good. I'm not even going to try to guess what the scalping price for those are going to be.

It was announced this morning that Radiohead is coming to Cincinnati! Tix go on sale Sat! Where will I come up with the money to go to a concert that I said I would never let get by me?

Saw them the other night at Phillips. I'm not a fan of the venue, but the show rocked. I am almost considering trying to buy Roseland tix for their concert in September. My only issue is that our seats weren't that great. If I had known there were going to be a bunch on StubHub, I prolly wouldn't have sat by my comp for 20 minutes trying to get through on Ticketmaster when they went on sale.

They are playing down here in Sydney later in the year. Tix prices are pretty crazy high, and that's not even counting the $400AU+ prices they are going for on Ebay. I saw them back around the Kid A/Amnesia era and, as one of my favourite bands, I have to say it was a disappointing experience for me. Very sterile. Seeing them a few weeks after seeing the Flaming Lips deliver probably my #1 live concert event of all time probably didn't help however.
(... I did, however, just fork out $300 for 2 tickets to see Yes play...)

I didn't get the ACL taping tickets. Evidently they received the most requests ever for tomorrow night's taping.

Flaming Lips put on some of the best live shows, so comparing them to anyone is rough. I got my tickets at face value since I sat on 2 laptops trying to get tickets on a Saturday morning (sucker). That being said, the show was great, lots of energy, lots of different songs. Radiohead Concert Setlist at Philips Arena, Atlanta on March 1, 2012 | setlist.fm If you can get over not hearing some of their older stuff, it's a great show. They ended with Street Spirit from The Bends, which was fairly awesome. My only disappointment was they didn't play My Iron Lung, which I've seen live and was awesome. Was worth $70, not sure if it's worth $400 AU, which I have no idea how much is in the US.

I figured out a way! I got them this morning. Not as close as I would have hoped, but they are reserved seats nonetheless, and nothing reserved at Riverbend is a bad seat.

Sad to report that circumstances being what they are, that I won't be able to make the concert in Cincinnati on the 5th. I've had the tickets since the day they went on sale, but a new job is going to force me out of town for most of the summer, including this concert. So if anyone in the area (or not in the area, but willing to travel) needs some pavilion seats for the show I need to unload mine. The 2 tickets, with all the applicable fees cost me $170 (2x$85). Thanks

Every year I have fall break around the 2nd week of October. Last year the wife and I went to Barcelona for a few days (she works for an airline so we fly free if it's open). Right around that time this year, Radiohead will be in either Amsterdam, Paris, or the UK, the 3 easiest places for us to get to from ATL...especially in October. We may try and see them overseas, I'm thinking it would be awesome.

Thread Resurrection!
So there's been a rumor flying around the last couple weeks that a new album is coming soon. Yesterday, flyers went out to homes in the UK teasing lyrics from an unreleased song that's well over 10 years old, and today they've been "disappearing" from the internet. The band page, facebook, twitter, google+, and all posts by band members have disappearing or turning page white. It's gotten people talking, and the rumor is that the new album is coming any second. http://pitchfork.com/news/65175-radi...ocial_facebook

OK Computer was the album completely responsible for opening my mind up to the possibilities of interesting/eclectic music and they will always hold a special place in my heart for that, but the last couple of albums really haven't done much for me - Jigsaw Falling Into Place aside, anyway.
I've only seen them live once, during (I think) the Kid A tour, and it was probably the most disappointing concert I've been to. Just felt like a band going through the motions, very little interaction with the crowd, not a lot of energy... probably just a bad night for the band.

Never was a big Radiohead fan but came across a really good cover guy that made me give them a relisten. He does some seriously great covers on his youtube channel beyond Radiohead as well (perhaps worthy of their own thread ).

That film clip is a horrifying re-imaging of the original Wicker Man but the song doesn't do a lot for me, TBH. Sounds like it could have slot into either of the last two albums pretty comfortably.

One of my friends is a strong Radiohead fan and he's condemned this song in the strongest possible terms.
"It sounds like Coldplay". The video is based on an old British children's TV shows by the way. Camberwick Green and Trumpton. Loved them when I was a kid/lazy student |

I've given it a good listen and it's really good. I wasn't in love with the last one at first, but this one is really, really easy to like.
The whole album has a complete feel and vibe, like their other albums, that just seems to flow from song to song. It's very spacey, with a lot of acoustic and orchestral stylings. I'd say it closer to Kid A, but with some OK Computer thrown in there. I could just relax and zone out for the entire album, but it's more groovy than Kid A. Nothing moves faster than Burn the Witch, and it's just so damn easy to listen to! I'll admit to being a fanboy, but after King of Limbs I wasn't sure where they were going. This is a fantastic return and the kind of album you can put on a loop and ride a deep buzz.
