[Fugazi]

This thread won't work. It's the rebellious nature of posting praise in the Pet Hates thread that has kept the wankfest going.

Should've quit after O.K. Computer...

Suffer Oasis syndrome,  brilliant three albums, then got to up themselves and released tripe... remains to be seen if they have a Dig Out Your Soul, one last hurrah left in them.

But on the love side of things, Exit Music for a Film is the most creepingly awesome song of all time.

Load of s****, apart from the last line.

3 years? fuuuuck.

The Bends is one of the best albums of all time.

Get in, nice one ElDiablo.

I remember when I first listened to OK Computer, I'd been told about Radiohead being dead miserable.  I was a miserable prick so I thought it'd be right up my street, but I did approach it with a bit of trepidation.

I ended up loving that album, but I thought 'Exit Music...' was hilarious for a while.  So bleak it's ridiculous.  But obviously I really like it these days.

Radiohead have just got such a rich and varied back catalogue, it's insane really.  I thought the 'Best Of' was a bit pointless, but it's a way for my dad to listen to Radiohead I suppose, so why not.  I just proper love them, what a band.

The best of was out of their hands was it not?

Love how they used that track on Father Ted.

Can't even remember how I really go into Radiohead, none of my mates listened to them, I think I had only heard Paranoid Android & Karma Police.

They said something about not bothering with albums anymore at some point.  Just doing EPs or something similarly pedantic and awkward.

Biggest Radiohead pet hate: the fan fare surrounding 'Creep'.  Will they play it, won't they play it?  Who cares, they've achieved so much since then that it amazes me that people still go on and on about it.

Anyone seen that Meeting People Is Easy?

A lot of Radiohead's music should be depressing, melodically - and a lot of people do seem to find it fits that description - but for some reason I find the majority of their songs quite uplifting, even the darker stuff like Motion Picture Soundtrack/Street Spirit/Exit Music etc... f*** knows why.

I think it was in their contract with the record label.

I like the best of album.

They've moved so far on from Creep, though I guess it's their most accessible track.

Haven't seen MPIE in full, only seen the 'Big Boots' part, amazing how that track remains one of their most difficult to record.

[ElDiablo]

Think I got into them after hearing a song on TV, got the album, then the discography. Remember hating The Bends to start with. Left it for a few months then tried again, and it just all came together.

Now Manic Street Depressers, they are some serious heavy kill myself music.

Best known Radiohead B-side, as far as know (off Romeo & Juliet as well):

You want me?
f***ing well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches

You just can't go wrong with lyrics like that, can you?

Exactly the same for me. Can listen to them when I feel bad and it picks me up, and sometimes when I'm feeling great you hear a track and it makes you just sit there and think for a minute, grounding in a way.
