    Tricked by Radiohead again

    I recently discovered the joys of Pandora on my phone while doing my morning cardio. On my "The Smiths" channel, a great song popped up that I'd never heard before. Check the artist and it's Radiohead. Hmm. Maybe I'll give them another try. I've done this before a couple times, but I try again. I listen all day at work today. Same old whiny, confusing, random garbage. Three strikes and you're out.

    What was the song you liked?
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Good for you, Jay. Radiohead sucks.

        I should have noted it. Now it's lost in a drowning pool of random whiny confusion.

            Radiohead = adult emo music. Pass. Overrated. Most music junkies love them because of Rolling Stones incessant RH love. I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here....lyrical genious

              Its funny that you cite an 18 year old song from Radiohead's debut album, a song and stlye that Radiohead has consistently tried to distance itself from, as a critique of their "lyrical genius." I'm sure you've listened to everything Radiohead has put out in the last 18 years in order to form your opinion.

                Almost as funny as citing RS as the reason music junkies love them. lol
                So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

                  No kidding. I need order back-issues of Rolling Stone. Apparently they've been saying good things!

                      I've never really been able to get into Radiohead, though I admit I haven't given them much of a chance. I've never given them much of a chance because I tend to like more upbeat and melodic music than I have heard from them, plus I just might be too old.

                      For the Head-heads out there, is there a particular album or set of songs that you would recommend as a good, and accessible, introduction to them? Or would you say that someone like me is unlikely to enjoy them?

                        I would start with The Bends, which is early enough (and melodic enough) that a person such as yourself should be able to get a good foot hold. OK Computer is the gold standard, but if you try to jump right into that album you'll probably lose your taste altogether, and that would be a tragedy.

                          I don't get it either, Jay. But I am going to hang in there a little longer and keep an open mind.

                            Start with their grammy performance accompanied by the USC Trojan Marching Band. Fight on!

                              Karma police arrest this man he talks in math, he buzzes like a fridge he's a detuned radio....drivel. I think there is a class in every law school that yall take that brainwashes you into thinking its unique, quality music. All my lawyer buddys love RH. I think staying up late with your classmates, bitching about your course load, juggling family, church and the prospect that you might not make that much money for the couple of years lends to the style of a band that fancies itself so self important that they at times disregard melody. Blah, pass.
