http://bigron.home.xs4all.nl/sonic/leaves.jpg Your mentions of the nineties bands ever get even near of it´s greatness. |
Well, I think Radiohead just isn´t my beef at all.

Sorry- I actually totally agree. A Thiusand Leaves is without question one of my favorite Sonic Youth albums, one of my favorite albums of the '90s and one of my favorite albums ever by my favorite band of all time. But I usually try to leave Sy off my lists because if I didn't, they'd overpopulate every decade from the '80s to the 00's. I think ATL is up there with Daydream Nation, Sister and Bad Moon Rising. So I pretty much agree with you completely. |

I really like Kid A, Hail to the Thief and The King of Limbs (especially the In the Basement version, which really put the kraut front and center). I even like Ok Computer... half of it, at least. "Airbag", "Electioneering", "Karma Police" ... "Paranoid Android" is kinda alt-rock 101 at this point, but still packs a punch. To me, they got better when they started ripping off Aphex Twin, and embraced Can and Kraftwerk and post-punk. I think "There, There" is an excellent song with an undeniable kind of momentum to it, and "Myxomatosis" is still one of my favorite songs of the '00s. It may not be as cool to like them as it once was, but all this talk about Oasis and SP and STP has reminded me that, for over well over a decade, Radiohead was the real deal in modern rock. They were our Beatles for a few years, and I'm not gonna pretend I don't like them just because they're not the hypest band in the world anymore. |
Still, I can't quite tolerate "Just" anymore. Or "Let Down", which sounds like a Foo Fighters song with more depressing lyrics in hindsight. I think they would have done well to include songs like "Polyethylene", "melatonin" and "palo alto" on OKC, in place of snoozers like "Let Down"... It would have made for a much more interesting project, if not as commercially viable.
I would have probably thrown "Rabbit in your headlights" and even "Talk Show Host" on there if I'd been running things. Artists do that kind of thing all the time now. I think REM's New Adventures in HiFi probably should have received the attention that went to Ok Computer. That record did the same things, but better. And I'm only a fairweather REM fan at best. Once Radiohead stepped out of alternative land, they made some damn memorable music. |
The ok comp bsides were amazing.

I've definitely heard it mentioned on here before. There's no shortage of PJ fans here. But you're right, that is an excellent album.
|
Well, I think it has been me who has mentioned it here. And if I remembered right, no-one commented it. Yes, I know here are PJ fans, but to me it seems many seem to ignore those both excellent albums she made with John.

It's Christmastime in Washington The Democrats rehearse Gettin' into gear for four more years Of things not gettin' worse The Republicans drink whiskey neat And thank their lucky stars They said, 'He cannot seek another term There'll be no more FDRs' And I sat home in Tennessee Staring at the screen With an uneasy feeling in my chest And I'm wonderin' what it means So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again somehow If you run into Jesus Maybe he can help you out Come back Woody Guthrie to us now I followed in your footsteps once Back in my travelin' days Somewhere I failed to find your trail Now I'm stumblin' through the haze But there's killers on the highway now And a man can't get around So I sold my soul for wheels that roll Now I'm stuck here in this town So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again somehow If you run into Jesus Maybe he can help you out Come back Woody Guthrie to us now There's foxes in the hen house Cows out in the corn The unions have been busted Their proud red banners torn To listen to the radio You'd think that all was well But you and me and Cisco know It's going straight to hell So come back, Emma Goldman Rise up, old Joe Hill The barricades are goin' up They cannot break our will Come back to us, Malcolm X And Martin Luther King We're marching into Selma As the bells of freedom ring So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again somehow If you run into Jesus Maybe he can help you out Come back Woody Guthrie to us now |

Is that Peter Hook on bass? ;):D Seriously though, I don't own any Bowie albums post-Scary Monsters but I think I'm gonna have to get jiggy with Blackstar. This shit sounds really good. |
