joshuatxuk Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have a couple friends who absolutely despise them and their fans. They say "they just don't get the big deal about their music." I think most of the hate, beyond IDM fans who think idioteque is gimmicky bullshit, comes from people whose favorite band isn't as popular or acclaimed.

noise Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 radiohead are good. thom yorke sometimes comes off as a weird cunt but their music ranges from competent/slightly annoying to absolutely excellent. some brilliant albums in there, especially kid a/amnesiac.

Guest blicero Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 hating what a lot of people like instantly grants you a false sense of discernment and refined taste. it is false because if you actually were discerning and had good taste you would just go about listening to good music without any concern over how mainstream or obscure it is.

Guest chunky Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 They're kind of like Super Furry Animals in that they chase gimmicks like surround sound or protools or softsynths or whatever. They should just play their rock music live in a big room in front of good microphones connected to a high quality stereo tape machine. They can't accept the fact that they're a rock band and they keep searching for that special "it" that doesn't exist. If I ever met them I'd tell them to keep it simple stupid. I heard their last album on a plane last year, it was average but I bet they're more enjoyable live in a small venue without any 'fans' in the room.

noise Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 radiohead have kept in relatively simple in terms of their musical ideas. if you listen to 'the eraser', it's a pretty good example of keeping it minimal while still being effective (although that's thom yorke). they'll never be slint, silkworm or the stooges at their best, but they are still not overcomplicating anything that much, and have never been particularly overproduced. i do hate it when they put strings in their songs though.

Guest chunky Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If Aphex Twin said in an interview "hey radiohead, stop copying me and go record with Albini" I'd be happy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tysen Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Perhaps some legitimately dislike them because all of their songs are melancholy, at least. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think about it their best tracks are like just a piano, some pads and vocals. Keep it simple. Well, the best tracks to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what matters. The fact that they have retained a large fanbase over this timespan is a testament to this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly any musical genre you can think of got to wear it is by experimentation, in all it's forms. Otherwise, music literally wouldn't exist as we know it.
