I hope you're alone.
Alas, I'm sure you're not :(
I don't hate them
but I've never liked them.
Hate is far too strong a word for an Artist.
Surely?
ok
your right
im in an agressive mood
just
i dont enjoy them
no
Hate is fine to describe the Scissor Sisters and Mika
Artist is far too strong a word for the Scissor Sisters and Mika
...?
No, you are not the only bore.
You'd actually have to be SUCH a bore to "hate" radiohead.
They're obviously completely unbelievably good, but hey, people have opinions. If it's not your thing, that's cool.
But to "Hate" them would be to become the world's most crashing bore; an indie snob beyond belief.
They've achieved so much. If you can't even appreciate what they've achieved you are a silly person.
It's actually analogous to those Dawkins bores
that go on about how bad christianity is because it's "started so many wars!".
!!
im really not an indie snob.
i admit they have achieved a lot.
but so have queen and other such dire bands.
Queen are also brilliant.
Proving that Good Bands Achieve.
My my. Do you have a problem with both musically excellent AND entertaining bands?
maybe
i dont much like the beatles either
or the rolling stones
or metallica
or the beach boys
or anyother influential and apparently 'amazing bands'
dont tell me 'the music you like tday wudlnt exist if it wasnt for those bands'
because i dnt really care.
i just dont like them
And that's why you're a douche.
I've got to admit
you're not really helping your case here.
...
LOLing at the Dawkins comment
'the world's most crashing bore'
Tee hee!
Whereas you repeatedly getting all worked up and self-righteous
about people not liking The Smiths or Radiohead is EXCITEMENT CENTRAL!
i adore the smiths.
The Smiths were shit
agreed
Yes
thirded
bunch of cocks
and bashing dawkins too!
sensational stuff
hear hear
Who would win
in a fight between Dawkins and Thom Yorke?
More importantly, what would they be fighting over?
i dislike them
Pablo Honey: 7/10
The Bends: 9/10
OK Computer: 8/10
Everything since: LOLZ/10
Your post is painful reading.
Not as painful as their post 97' output
hey?!
:D
How can you rate Pablo Honey higher than Amnesiac?
You suck
Because I was there maaaaaaan
when it came out. From the beginning, loved that album, saw them twice whilst they were touring it, was thrilled when The Bends was released, such a MASSIVE step up, OK Computer was pretty gorgeous too and then...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I put it to you that those who deride the pre-97' albums, or more typically the first two are frequently just trying to be indier-than-thou in an 'Oh, I only like their more unconventional stuff' way.
Yes.
nope
but your opinion is rendered null and void by only giving ok computer 8/10.
hmm
pablo honey 6
the bends 9
ok computer 8.5
kid a 9
amnesiac 8
hail to the thief 10
in rainbows 7
that's what I think.
what a load of bollocks.
The Bends is decent, Pablo Honey is a very very bad album. Thats why people like them from 97 onwards..
no
we've been through this.
(i hate them too)
^
yay
not hate
Do not like them any more.
^ yay
MUSO TWATS

i, too, dislike radiohead
the closest i get to liking them is with the darkness' cover of 'street spirit', which is one of the best things i've ever heard.
You don't
deserve to have ears. Sorry.
harsh much
?
That's why
I said sorry!
I like frilly underwear too
if that's any help
I don't care for them.
I think they've got some very good songs but they're not a band I ever listen to by choice.
I've got very little interest in their post-97 output (bar a couple of songs like Idioteque and Everything In Its Right Place)
yep theyre rubbish
!
Now we've established that nobody avtually likes them....
can we drop the requirement for no less than 2 'news' stories about them every single fucking day?
kthxbye!
^ this, please
^^ yes
excatly.
they drive me nuts.
Of course many people are going to reply in a thread asking
"who else doesent like radiohead?"
People love to say they dislike radiohead. It gives indie people more pleasure than anything else to denounce probably the best example of a simultaneously hugely critically and commercially succesful band.
well
im not 'an indie'
so shove that up your smug arse.
"I've always hated radiohead" convinces me that my arse is relatively humble.
sorry..
ahh
the endless cycle of DiS..
"i hate this"
"you're wrong cos it's good!"
"no, i totall agree that it's rubbish"
"you're wrong too"
or
"i like this"
"you're wrong cos it's rubbish"
"no, i totally agree that it's great"
"you're wrong too"
everyone has a different opinion. what's the point of posting 'hate' OR 'love' threads really? you're just going to stir reactions. probably exactly what i'm doing now. it's ridiculous though. how can you debate someone else's opinion???
You missed something from the cycle
"i hate this"
"you're wrong cos it's good!"
"no, i totall agree that it's rubbish"
"you're wrong too"
"HEY GUYS! STOP THIS! YOU ALWAYS DISAGREE ABOUT STUFF! WHAT'S EVEN THE POINT OF TALKING ABOUT STUFF! EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT"
Then The Voice Of Reason steps in and clicks "post reply". Like I'm just about to do.
no, but!
it's true though. opinions can't really be DEBATED can they?
i'm not telling anyone to stop i'm just saying it's sometimes quite silly to tell someone that their opinion about something is wrong.
I disagree.
OH SHIT WE'RE DEBATING A GREY AREA NOW
ABANDON REPLY, ABANDON REPLY!!!
But you can argue the reasoning behind an opinion.
Someone could have piss poor reasoning. You don't just 'like' things. You like them for a reason.
yeah
but.. i like this chocolate bar that i'm eating because it tastes good. i don't know why it tastes good, it just does. i like some music that a lot of people don't. i don't know why i like it, i just do! if someone doesn't like something, i don't think they need a reason why. i respect what other people thinks.. i might not agree with it but they don't need to justify their opinions to satisfy me. i'm confusing myself now. back to my chocolate bar....
thats rubbish
theres something about it that appeals to you. just because you havent put any thought into why that is doesnt mean its not there. also, people who say 'it just does' are annoying when they enter into an arguement then back out with that. ADMIT IM RIGHT YOU BASTARD!
ok you're right
my opinion is wrong!
and DiS will resume as normal.
good!
i think talking about opinions is fun
i DO agree with that
but you need to respect other people's opinions once in a while if you want a decent conversation about them
oh yeah of course
but you shouldnt take anything said on here too seriously, people are just fond of being tits sometimes. except this. i mean this.
I reckon I could come up with a convincing essay as to why Snickers is the best chocolate bar ever.
As long as it wasn't judged by someone allergic to nuts.
!!
that's the chocolate bar i was eating!
finally someone agrees with an opinion i have.
:D
No essay needed.
I agree about snickers too...
OMG DiS ACTUALLY AGREES ON SOMETHING!?!?!
Fuck...
We should just top ourselves now. It's just not going to get any better.
Oh man
I love snickers with a passion. Snickers are undoubtedly the bestest chocolate bar evaarrr.
YES THEY CAN
everything essentially comes down to a persons take on something.
Because my opinion is more important than yours.
Human nature, innit.
ps
I don't really think my opinion is more important than yours.
touche
grr
^ Oh Hai!
Who allowed this dangerous free thinking individual into our hatefest?
yes
get out
POO HEAD
i'll back out quietly
homer style
You don't like radiohead???
There may be valid reasons for this, namely:
a) You have had such a perfectly balanced upbringing that you simply can't relate to Radiohead's weary existential angst
b) You are confusing Radiohead with Virgin Radio, which are completely different things
c) Thom Yorke either stole your girlfriend, ate your hamster or looked at you funny in a bar (that last bit isn't his fault, lazy eye and all that)
d) You prefer to immerse yourself in a rabidly unpredictable nausea-inducing sonic assault unleashed by semi-obscure mentalists and Radiohead are way too conventional for you with their somewhat generic over-reliance on such trifles as melody, choruses and good old fashioned song-structures, like the music your grandparents enjoyed
e) You are indeed, stone deaf.
Yeah man
Hey lets not bother with working out beautifully subtle instrumentation and heart wrenching melodies, all mixed together with a complete sense of drama, one of the world's best frontmen and collection of musicians who are both individually creative and as part of radiohead, let's just FUCK SHIT UP.
why dont you just marry thom york?
fucking shit up is what all bands should do
im 100% serious
Yeah
What's more, radiohead managed to do it in an actually meaningful way... Twice.
Kid A
In rainbows
you mean in the way they released it
because from what ive listened to... not really fucking shit up.
anyway im not even bothered if people like radiohead. i just like arguing.
rebellious
;););)
HELL YEAH
stick it to da man radiohed iz 4 wimpz stik sum limp bizkit on
But they are pretty boring though.
f) you just dont like them much
id go for f.
I respect they are good
but I also think sometimes 'let's move on'. They're all like forty years old. Everyone's forgotten that ever-so-important commandment of 1977 - 'never trust anyone over 30'!
The amount of arguments I've overheard debating which was better 'The Bends' or 'OK Computer', quite frankly who gives a...
Radiohead are boring Oxford boys with no soul. Their only redeeming factor for me is Johnny Greenwood's guitar ability.
Your arguments are very silly.
Not trusting anyone's over 30 isn't an important commandment. It's being an ageist twat and ignoring basic facts. Nick Cave & Johnny Cash for example... Plus countless others.
Whether or not they went to Oxford has absolutely fuck all to do with whether their music's any good or not.

Sonic Youth
Patti Smith

^I think this is why people don't like Radioheard
the smugness and arrogance of their fans who don't understand one could legitimately like their songs.
Particularly with reference to d) the bottom line is there are plenty of bands that do melody, choruses and good old-fashioned song structures a fucking sight better than Radiohead do.
Let's not forget Radiohead are, despite their commerical success, by no means a mainstream band and, whilst beloved of alternative music fans, very few non-alternative music fans would know that many Radiohead songds (especially since 1997).
If they were that good at melody and choruses they'd have had more crossover singles (i.e. songs that sold consistently rather than appearing in the top ten and then disappearing wit
