Does anyone like Travis?

[Northern Lights]

You know, that Scottish band with kind of a radiohead sound...
I think they'e really good... I love the fact that their songs are short and simple, they're easy to enjoy.
Anyone else who likes them? Or am I the only metal fan who does...

I´ve never heard of them before reading this post... The only Travis I know is a Country artist.

If you want something simple and melodic to play in the background and not demand your undivided attention, they're good. Ideal for easy listening and relaxing...

Yeah, i think they're quite good. I've got the "The man who" on minidisc, it's ok and the latest album is enjoyable, above all the latests track:The humpty dumpty love song (I know it's spelled wrong )
So Northern Lights, whom do you like more:Radiohead or Travis?
And why?

The humpty dumpty love song is one of my favs, actually, so nice taste!
Actually, I haven't heard enough of Radiohead's music to really compare it to Travis... so I can't say which I think is the best. I'll just stick to saying that Travis is my fav... got all 3 of their albums, and I gotta agree with Kveldssanger; they're ideal for relaxing and easy listening

They blow nuts and have nothing in common with radiohead except the fact that they're white guys.

Their first album "the man who..." was alright, got a bit boooooring after that. Although if you want to hear something funny, as a B-side to "why does it always rain on me" they did a cover of "Hit me Baby" or whatever it's called from Britney Slut. Kinda makes it sound alright, a really sad and lonely song.

They are alrigth, they have som good songs.
But i prefer bands like Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay and Kent instead...

they're alright, The Fear and the bonus track on 'The Man Who' album are 2 of my favourite tracks, brilliant. but i only really like half of that album and none of their other stuff. but still good for that.

what little i have heard of travis i like, i am a radiohead fan, but i think that travis is more of an acoustic band than radiohead, so i try not to compare
