    I enjoyed that movie. The Oasis bit was funny.

    "Walking in Memphis" is up there with "Wonderful Christmastime" for worst songs ever.

    Walking In Memphis is so bad... and trust me, it's even worse if you've ever worked as a karaoke host

    Jazz is so annoying! I can't even comprehend how anyone could think that fucking unpleasant trumpet sound is something to be used in a music...?

    This is sure to be unpopular, but has there ever been a more uncharismatic and unappealing lead guitar player than Billy Howerdel? His stage presence is actually distracting in it’s creepiness. Probably just me though. Sorry for those I’ve offended

    PS- Mer De Noms still rules.

    I don't dislike Radiohead--I like them well enough, I just don't think that they are that good. I don't think that O.K. Computer is as amazing as some people claim it is.

    I swore that I hated Radiohead for years, but a friend of mine really insisted I give them another shot. What I realized is that I just hated “Creep” and that it wasn’t actually a good representation of their full body of work. Kid A changed my mind, and now I’m slowly working through their catalog and realizing I never gave them a fair shot.

    Also, I adore the video for Karma Police. It suits the song perfectly.

    Linkin Park's "A Thousand Suns" isn't THAT bad, all in all. It didn't need to be two tracks, but the intro(s) are pretty damn good.

    (Oh lord, I just defended LP...what is wrong with me?!?)

    I listened to KMFDM's entire back catalogue this year and loved a lot of it, but one of their most popular albums - Symbols - is one I just could not get on with at all.

    I gave Radiohead more then their fair share of listens- and then some. Honestly I think they kind of suck (whole nother thread for that, I suppose). Can’t get into them and find them beyond boring. Even a lot of live YT vids of theirs seems like the crowd is bored.

    I DO love Creep however, great tune. And find Pablo Honey is an above average early/mid 90s rock album. I’ll spin it from time to time, and may do so tonight for the first time in awhile. \m/

    I was into Radiohead from Pablo Honey on and enjoyed watching the progression over all the albums until Amnesiac. The albums after that I have listened to and enjoyed a few songs here and there, but at this moment I couldn't give a shit less to hear any of their music. I don't know what that says about them or myself, but it's what it is.

    The King of Limbs killed my fandom for the most part. That album is dreadful but A Moon Shaped Pool was a great follow up.

    Still can't understand why that album gets so much hate. The amount of vitriol spewed at it when it was released was absurd to me. People acted like Thom Yorke walked into their birthday party and shit on their cake. That album got picked apart and analyzed to death. It was too short for what it was. It was too long for what it was. It was too different. It wasn't different enough. People were out for blood for some reason. Anyway, I still enjoy that album. Some gorgeous stuff on there, and the From The Basement performance is top notch stuff.

    As a big fan of In Rainbows I felt it was a pretty stark contrast to release something like that. None of he songs clicked with me and a lot of the material on it is kinda meh to me.

    It's Radiohead. They zig when people expect them to zag. That's been their thing for a long time now. Also, it came out four years after In Rainbows, so I'm not sure why anyone expected it to be in line with that album. They clearly moved forward from that album, but the fans didn't. I don't expect The King Of Limbs to be everyone's favorite album of theirs (it's not mine), but the overreaction to it from fans is so bizarre to me.

    I took one listen to Bloom and was like "what in the fuck is this shit" This fucking ridged ass fuckign dumb beat is like one of the worst piece of shit ive ever heard in my life. The beat sounds like someone falling down the fucking stairs. To me, this doesn't sound "challenging" or "experimental", no, this sound pretentious as fuck. This is one of the worst fucking drum beat i have ever heard in my fucking life. Stiff, clunky, feel shoved right in to the beat, does not compliment anything to the music in the slightest. Honestly, those first 4 songs are kinda ass in my personal opinion. but the last 4, not to bad actually

    Radiohead is a great pop band and if you don't like them you're crazy. They're at LEAST a very interesting mainstream thing, and you have to appreciate that.

    As a massive jazz fan, allow me to perhaps recommend some albums that are perhaps more accessible and contain less trumpet? Jazz is like metal...there are a zillion different kinds within the genre...just find the one you dig.

    First, my favorite jazz album.



    Then perhaps some Monk who never disappoints:



    That's more of a dinner/cocktail album with some covers you may recognize and enjoy. The former has possibly one of my favorite jazz tracks ever.

    Or if that's not really the speed of this thread...

    FUCK YOU JAZZ RULES.

    My favorite jazz band is Esbjorn Svensson Trio which contains 0% trumpet. Maybe you should try it.
    (Is jazz piano cool with jazz purists?)

    Yeah, there's plenty of jazz that doesn't use trumpets. I'm not a big jazz person myself, but there's a neat little micro-genre that I think a fair number of peeps here could jibe with: dark jazz. Sometimes it's called noir jazz or doom jazz. It started in the early to mid-90s and it's mostly inspired by David Lynch/Twin Peaks/Angelo Badalamenti. Here are a couple of awesome mixes from YouTube:

    I don’t find them remotely good or interesting, so call me krazy then.

    I play a game every Christmas to see if I can avoid hearing "Wonderful Christmastime".....but I always fail. This time I was listening to classic rock radio and failed in mid-November haha

    Love Paul's music, but fuck him for that one.

    Maybe, from a perspective of a mainstream audience.
    They're a good band at best. They never released a perfect album, from start to finish.
    Kid A and In Rainbows are their only good albums, and even those had fillers. Moon Shaped Pool could be the most overrated album ever.
    And their fans are among the most pretentious I've ever met, second only to Tool.

    Define what constitutes a perfect album.

    Kid A is pretty damn great... I'll slight OK Computer for the cowbell on Electioneering, and I never thought The Tourist was a satisfying closer for it, but whatever I guess. In Rainbows is hard to slight at all.

    And you have to look at it through a mainstream lens I guess. Ultimately, they are a band that set out to be popular, and they succeeded, and they're mainstream, and they've done what I would consider to be really interesting stuff in that sphere. It's like The Beatles in that way. Are they a better band than, I dunno, COIL? That's a tough call, it's apples and oranges.
