Who likes them?

If yes - old or new, or even..... both

If no... why??

I love them
Newer stuff rather than old

They used to be my favourite band a couple of years ago.

I still like them but I don't listen to them as much.

In Rainbows is probably my favourite now, I find it really relaxing.

Don't leave me high....Don't leave me dry.....

I don't really listen to Radiohead but some songs are OK & I loved that episode of South Park with em but I cant say much else about em

Dogenegra, are you a fellow ateaser?

I liked The Bends through Kid A. Amnesiac wasn't bad, but left me in a nasty mood whenever I'd listen to it. Hail to the Thief, besides being shove-it-down-your-throat politics, seemed like a musical step backwards. In Rainbows--didn't find enough to like. But The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A are MASTERPIECES.

I Might Be Wrong is good too.

Meh.
There's a lot worse music out there, but I just find Radiohead far too overrated for my liking. The way a lot of their fans gush about how they're the 'Gods' of rock just gets annoying to me.

Maybe they're just too 'hipster' for me (like King Crimson)...

Tim (aka the Slipperman)

If I was to know what an ateaser was I might be able to answer

I like pretty much all their stuff. I guess what I like about them is the variety. Every song has it's own unique mood and atmosphere.

I don't really have a favorite album though as I tend to pick out certain tracks I like from every album. I mean I can listen to certain songs like "Exit Music", "Karma Police", "The National Anthem", "How to Disappear Completely", "Knives Out", "I Might Be Wrong", "There There", and "Myxomatosis" over and over again without getting bored.

I guess "In Rainbows" is an exception. That album is different from others in that there's not really any one or two particular songs that stands out as pure genius, yet I can more easily relax and enjoy myself while listening to the whole album from front to back.

I don't think they're overrated. It's just that a lot of other equally worthy bands are underrated.

I guess I can understand how they aren't some people's taste though. I mean, if you want sheer energy or intensity with a driving beat Radiohead isn't going to be your thing. They are kind of weird and meandering at times, even depressing. A lot of the songs have a kind of tired / feeble feel, even when they're rocking out. I think they capture certain kinds of moods better than anyone else out there though.

Weird but I kinda like them after living and sleeping with a major fan for a year and a half.

I think it's just that they show emotion really well through the music, and Thom Yorke has said that he generally doesn't write about happy things cause he doesn't feel a need to express that, or something... i may have misquoted... but I think that's why opinions are so conflicting with Radiohead, and why some people can't handle them, cause all the emotion and darkness they portray is just a bit too much, as apposed to Oasis for example who just do happy, easily accessible stuff. Which is a shame, cause they're all really amazing musicians, and come up with some really good harmonies and tunes, especially the drummer who has to keep time with all the tempo and time signiture changes, and I just wish that everyone could apprieciatte the musicianship, instead of saying 'they're well depressing!' Oh well...

i meant the atease messageboard, but i guess you're not...should check it out though!

I've always been weird with Radiohead. I think growing up I just didn't really get their music. I dig a lot of their songs though.

I've always liked them but have gone back and forth about each of their albums. My present stance is that OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac are good to great, Pablo Honey is quite underrated, and there are some other good songs here and there.

I am, but I never go to the Radiohead-related forums.

Oh! I see what you mean now I've just tried getting on to message board, registered and everything, and it won't let me view it! It says: 'Error: You do not have permission to view this board' :S

What's occuring?
