JS19
05.28.15 | Climbing Up the Walls is the only Radiohead song that lives up to their ridiculous hype for me |

05.28.15 | Have you heard Amnesiac yet? |
altertide0
05.28.15 | I don't think any of Radiohead's releases live up to their "ridiculous hype" but they're still rather good. |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | JS19 - don't get me wrong I like Anathema but you've 4.5'd their copycat radiohead album 'a fine day to exit', come on 90% of Radiohead is better than that. Plus you have Muse rated higher who are again heavily indebted to Radiohead and pretty awful for the most part |

05.28.15 | Maybe he doesn't care about influence and who was first etc, just like most of sputnik users. |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | True, I'd rather listen to Elliott Smith than The Beatles even though the influence is clear.
Think it's more a surprise regarding quality - I doubt the lads in Anathema would rate A Fine Day with a 4.5 lol |

05.28.15 | Cheers for the comments fellas |
AmericanFlagAsh
05.28.15 | Interesting list. Airbag tho?
Nice to see 8 here |
Blametruth3
05.28.15 | The first Radiohead song I got into, still remains my fav :) |
JS19
05.28.15 | Did you really look at my rating just cos I can't get into Radiohead? Bit defensive bro I'm sure they're great and everything but I just don't enjoy listening to them as much as I do other stuff.
That's a normal thing, if you were only allowed to rate things influenced by other things less than their influences it would get ridiculous |
Psynuts
05.28.15 | Creep is one of their worst songs |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | JS when someone doesn't rate a band I like that highly I'll often check what they do like out of interest, not telling anyone what to listen to
Yeah, it wasn't me being the 'influenced by' police more to do with my perception of the quality in how I rated those other albums and how much I think they sound similar to Radiohead.
If you'd 2.5'd those albums I'd say 'ah he doesn't like this type of sound' - rating those other albums higher is saying you like this sort of sound but prefer other similar artists. Totally different things |
JS19
05.28.15 | To me they don't have that similar a sound or I'd like em both. That simple i guess sorry |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | That's cool JS, but you can't be surprised when you go on a Best Of list and say 'The Beatles only song worthy of the crazy ass hype is Hey Jude' or 'Mozart is hella overrated, he only recorded one truly great symphony' or whatever and not expect eyebrows to be raised and possibly a bit of an inquest |
JS19
05.28.15 | I said 'for me' at the end so it didn't sound too pretentious but I should have known better :' ) |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | It's the use of the phrase 'ridiculous hype, I mean it's 20 years since ok computer surely the hype phase is over. People don't listen to something for 20 years due to the hype factor - it's established that a lot of people like it and it was an important album, no one is pushing an agenda beyond that really |
JS19
05.28.15 | It's what I meant - I respect the hell out of them, I just don't 'get it' so to speak. Not trying to be a douche here! |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | It's cool JS, not attacking you here :)
Plus 'Temporary Peace' is an awesome tune from Fine Day, I do like that album |
IronGiant
05.28.15 | The Bends' B-sides are often better than the tunes that made it to the actual CD |
DoofusWainwright
05.28.15 | Yeah Iron - talk show host and cuttooth are 5/5 songs for me. Polyethylene, bishop's robes and Palo Alto aren't too far behind either |
YetAnotherBrick
05.28.15 | good list. Airbag is mad underrated. love that song so much. |
widowslaugh123
05.29.15 | A couple honestly lame choices with a couple good ones thrown in. Nothing off hail to the thief? This reads like a list of someone that has listened to radio head a lot, but not for very long. |
ArsMoriendi
05.29.15 | Airbag is probably my 2nd favorite on OK Computer at this point and Climbing Up the Walls is my favorite on OK Computer, so not bad choices! My favorite overall is I Might Be Wrong :)
Rest of your picks are a bit typical though... no offense :P |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | Needs more In Rainbows
1 - Let Down
2 - Nude
3 - Climbing Up The Walls
4 - All I Need
5 - Motion Picture Soundtrack
6 - Fake Plastic Trees
7 - Reckoner
8 - How To Disappear
9 - Jigsaw
10 - The Daily Mail

05.29.15 | Windowslaugh- it's my opinion man. I have heard hail to the thief, good album. if I had made a longer list tracks like Sail to the moon, and a wolf at the door would be up there :) |
Blametruth3
05.29.15 | ArsMoriendi- that's fair enough, its your opinion :) thanks for the feedback |
Blametruth3
05.29.15 | TheWrenKing-In Rainbows is a top 3 Radiohead album for me |
Blametruth3
05.29.15 | yetanotherbrick- thanks for the feedback :) |
widowslaugh123
05.29.15 | Yeah obviously it's your opinion. It's your list. You're subject to ridicule, praise, differing opinions, discussion, etc. when saying something in public. I mean I'd be pretty bored if I made a list and everyone commented "good list." |
TheWrenKing
05.29.15 | In Rainbows is their best for me, closely followed by OK Computer, then a tie between Kid A and Amnesiac. HTTT is their second worst, just ahead of Pablo |
Blametruth3
05.29.15 | True, what would your top 5 be? |
Blametruth3
05.29.15 | TheWrenKing- I would go with kid a for my fav followed up with The Bends, with either ok computer or in rainbows |
DoofusWainwright
05.29.15 | Wren - you also put Let Down at 1, respect |
