Search and Destroy... RADIOHEAD...

Sorry, just kidding.

Destroy: _Pablo Honey_

DESTROY: Everything else.

Would this be the ROCK answer then? I can't keep up.

destroy: most of the bends, pulk/pull revolving doors

Am currently listening to a quite good bootleg from the American tour last summer, actually. As with them Pumpkins, the thing everyone forgets is that between songs the bandmembers are usually being cut- ups.

Destroy: Thom Yorke.

Destroy: Most of Pablo Honey and I Might Be Wrong. Some crap songs off good albums, see "Dollars and Centzzz..." and "Bullet Proof (I wish I wazzzz...)

Destroy: Idioteque, any B-sides NOT from The Bends era (especially the Amnesiac ones), Idioteque, Fitter Happier, Idioteque, Bulletproof, Idioteque, Idioteque and also Idioteque. Sorry, I just really hate that song and I have no idea why.

My flatmate and I once listened 'blind' to an NME comp that had 'Idioteche' on it. We thought it was far and away the worst thing on the disc - horrible horrible singing - but had no idea who the feck it was by (we thought it sounded a bit like that Joe Crow track on 'Pillows and Prayers'!) Boy were we smug when we checked the tracklisting - yes Radiohead really ARE that bad!

Destroy : Most of Amnesiac and about half of Pablo Honey

sorry to the canonizers but OKC does zilch for me

Is there a poll thread for these tools? I feel like I need to make my feelings about which album is the least bad known, but I need to do it anonymously.

Why don't you just tell us which one of these tools albums are least bad?

I had them all except HTTT on my iTunes until last week, but my housemate _really_ likes them and kept playing them after he got of the phone with his awful girlfriend, so I decided to delete them. I kept Amnesiac for biographical/nostalgic reasons. I can't tell if it's any good, but that's the one I dislike the least.

Seriously, what kind of 27 year old listens to OK Computer at 3am in 2008?

search: all except amnesiac
destroy: amnesiac

xp dude he was probably 16-17 when it came out, has certain ties to his youth etc

Agreed with Redmond, except I would save "Pyramid Song" on Amnesiac. A good portion of HTTT can be destroyed as well.

I was absolutely OBSESSED with this band like crazy when I was a kid. Bought all the singles, the t-shirts, taped their videos on MTV, everything. Then they made Kid A.

...and now you love them even more!?

Kid A was good. Really good. Album of the year, in fact. But the magic was gone. It just wasn't the same. They didn't even make any cool videos for it. It was like, "This is a really great album with a lot of great songs" rather than "OMGWTFTHIS... BAND... IS... SO... FUCKING... AMAZING!!!!!"

destroy most of kid a, most of amnesiac, some of ok computer, some of httt

search all of in rainbows, the bends, half of pablo honey

::)

i might be interested in knowing what the results of an ilm in rainbows poll would be

search and destroy? well, pretty much everyone agrees that the bends, ok computer, and kid a are all amazing and pablo honey is a piece of dogshit.

so, search:
that live version of "how to disappear completely" where thom says, "this next song is a benefit for the bootleggers. this song is called... if we get it right, this song is called 'how to disappear completely and never be found'"
the "my iron lung" ep
all their videos up to and including ok computer (oh holy god yes search)

destroy:
"dollars and cents"
the itch ep
"like spinning plates"
most of hail to the thief
all their videos after ok computer :(

haven't heard:
in rainbows

speaking of bootlegs, search the early version (from 1996 or 97, I think) of Nude that had the melody doubled by Jonny on the glockenspiel.
My Iron Lung EP is pretty good, but Airbag/How Am I Driving is the one for me. Fantastic EP.

A lot of HTTT songs had extra legs when performed live, especially Myxomatosis.

Dude, you should hear In Rainbows, really!

yeah, i never expected to really love the band again, but in rainbows caught me off guard. i also agree that airbag/how am i driving? is pretty great.

they're so much better when they're not 'serious'

destroy:
their awful pretentious album covers and liner notes

yeah in rainbows = unexpectedly great

does it sound a lot like hail to the thief? because i was really turned off by hail to the thief.

no

mr. snrub i think you'd love it

In Rainbows is SOLID. Nothing like the thrown together disorganized crap that was HTTT (excepting the transcendent There There, of course).

xp dude he was probably 16-17 when it came out, has certain ties to his youth etc

Maybe. It's literally the only album he listens to though.

In Rainbows is so much better than HTTT.

Pablo Honey is dogshite.

Amnesiac isn't really worth playing all the way through. Just pick your few fave tracks and you're fine.

<a href="http://musik.antville.org/stories/258512/";>amnesiac</a> is the only album of theirs i ever feel the need to listen to.

i don't understand people who don't like HTTT.

Indeed, akm.

I like most of what the band did from The Bends to Amnesiac, never heard HTTT, and completely hate In Rainbows and think it's terrible.

why?

In Rainbows Hail to the Thief is SOLID. Nothing like the thrown together disorganized crap that was HTTT In Rainbows (excepting the transcendent There There Reckoner, of course).

Fixed.

hahaha. but RONG

hail to the thief>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>in rainbows (tho i might not have given IR enuf time yet)

Hail to the Thief has Wolf at the Door, We Suck Young Blood, Myxomatosis, Where I End and You Begin, There There...In Rainbows has, like, The Reckoner.

of course, I'm one of those chaps who went through the whole "OHMIGOD...AMAZING!!!" experience, with Kid A, so...

If I could pick just 3: Black Star, Let Down, Where I End and You Begin. When it came out a friend asked me what I thought of OK computer, and I said "Well, I like the sparkly one." He knew which one I meant.

i also went through a "wtf omg" thing with kid a.
but in rainbows is better than httt. not saying that httt is bad or anything. in rainbows is just so damn groovy.

well i might have m issed something abt in rainbows...it's the first radiohead album i have never owned since pablo honey (get me?)

as of now i am convinced that Kid A/Amnesiac/Hail to the Thierf is R.Head's trilogy of killer stuff...
