OK, OK, I concede. You guys were right about them. This is really good and soothing stuff. I've only listened to The Bends so far. I'm impressed. I really like "The Bends" and "Fake Plastic Trees". "High and Dry" is also pretty good.

Thanks should go to Dredg, Jeff Buckley, and Failure for getting me back into the softer types of music.

Fans of Radiohead would also probably like Dredg and Jeff Buckley, though the music is pretty different.

Failure rules. I'm sure some of you are familiar with "Stuck on You" from around the time that the abominable "music" called grunge was popular.

Anyway, yeah Radiohead is pretty cool. What else should I get? And if anyone says Pablo Honey, may you rot in Sally Struthers' vagina.
 
OK COMPUTER STAT!!! Kid A is my favorite but I'm not sure who to recommend that one to since even some diehards don't like it. You already have Hail to the Thief so that's good, and The Bends is my least favorite but that doesn't mean it isn't incredible.

Yeah Dredg rules, thanks BSW.
 
I like Amnesiac the best. DO you like Porcupine Tree Dreamlord? If you like Radiohead you would dig porcupine tree, especially their album Signify.
 
I'm very familiar with PT, though I wasn't as impressed as most are. Stupid Dream was easily my favorite from them. Lightbulb Sun had some really good songs surrounded by mediocre material. Signify was pretty good. In Absentia was good on first listen and quickly turned boring album of the year. Everything I've heard that came before Signify was boring dreamscape-type crap.
 
I'm actually not familiar with Radiohead at all... the only album I've listened to was "The Bends"... which I thought was a snoozer... and of course, I'm familiar with the addictive "Creep"... I also some them performing live on some tv show (maybe SNL? I don't know) a couple years ago and thought they were terrible... but I guess I really should hear Kid A or OK Computer in their entirities some day... since Radiohead seems to be the most universally praised band of the past 10 years.

Get it? ;)
 
If i based my opinon of Radiohead on "Creep" and Pablo Honey, I'd stay as far away as possible. God, that shit sucked. Of course, I heard it when it came out, so my opinion might be different today.

So I take it OK Computer must be pretty good.

What this with only 3 songs from Kid A having guitars? Fucking dreamscape bullshit or something?

OK, so far The Bends > Hail to the Thief
 
I'm not sure of your take on that kind of music; Kid A. If I had to guess, you wouldnt like it. Hail To The Theif takes a while to get into but like I said before Hail To The Theif = the 4 previous albums all mixed together and is absolutely amazing once it does click. If you wanna stay away from that electronic/whatever influence they picked up, then OK Computer and The Bends are the ticket.

OK Computer > The Bends

...both are amazing though. The Bends is more straightforward and less experimental.
 
I'd rank the albums like this:

OK Computer
Amnesiac
Kid A
Hail to the Thief
The Bends
Pablo Honey

I know long time fans go apeshit when they see The Bends ranked that low. I became a fan w/ OK Computer, and like everything after. Bends is great, but much too conventional compared to later stuff.
 
Yeah Muse are excellent, but they are a bit over the top dont you think- for them to be like Radiohead. How about Aerogramme, a Scottish band that is pretty damn good, they have a little metal influence as well.
 
Before getting anything else, just focus on getting OK Computer. And then spend lots of time with it, you know, considering it's probably one of the greatest albums of all time.

Even Radiohead fans turned their backs on Kid A, like NAD said, so the last thing you want to be doing at this stage is experimenting with Radiohead experimentation.

The Bends and OK Computer go back to back perfectly, so since you liked The Bends...

I take it J. you missed the "Paranoid Android" thread? Kind of interesting how people here from all walks of life, with all differing tastes, do at least agree to OK Computer.
