have you even heard In Rainbows? it's a absolutely brilliant album and I defy anyone to think he sounds stuck up, snobby or preachy on it... it is so personal and moving, the lyrics are astounding and they have finally found the perfect balance between electronica and alt-rock songs

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Come on people, before I can get any YouTube supporting evidence up, remember this is the band who changed the face of music in the 90s and even more so recently with the way they have marketed new album In Rainbows. Thom Yorke is so Rock N Roll he (like the rest of the UK it would seem) didn't pay one pence for his album!

Why do I need to pay for my own album? It's just like moving money from one pocket to another

Didn't mind In Rainbows, but Kid A and Amnesia were appalling.

you wouldn't have In Rainbows if it wasn't for Kid A and Amneisac. Kid A is a masterpiece but Amnesiac is weak but with a few blinding moments, personally HTTT is their weakest album and that includes Pablo Honey!

So appalling (in your eyes), it's actually called Amnesiac!!!!!

:thump:

 

[MrB]

Two of my favourite bands! This is tougher than Pinder v Cuthbert....

Oy! Back off! I voted for 'em!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

A close one, but I just about prefer NIN.

 

[SUFC_Al]

Really like both bands, but Trent Reznor is the man. And they were awesome at Glastonbury 2000, NIN for me.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Never really been in to Nine Inch Nails, but can't say I'm a huge Radiohead fan either.

However, "Just" is a fantastic song and video.

Why is that fella on the floor?

More like what does he say so that everybody ends up on the floor!
Love that video & precisely the reason why I got into Radiohead & still love them with a passion to this day.

[Cricko]

Radiohead for me, for Fake Plastic Trees alone ....Classic.

He actually donst say anything (I know the Greenwoods brothers older sister :D) its just made up .Radiohead for me , only people i know who like NIN are muscians who greatly appreciate Trent ;)

So the official band line of "we know what he says but don't want to spoil it for people" is just mince then?

Also, always think the traffic cop in that video resembles Alan Sugar :p

Honestly .... yes . He does speak it just dosnt mean anything (see they didnt want to spoil it for people ;) )

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Radiohead's early albums (up to OK computer) were great.
Unfortunately since then they've been, well, a bit crap.
