I was at the movies the other day. As soon as this track started playing during a scene, I just walked out. 😁 Yeah, that’s how much I hate it.

Just tell me which movie to skip. I practically teleported away from Broadway yesterday the second I heard someone start shredding on a guitar.

Man, I absolutely cannot stand grasshoppers... but the rest are fine. I also hate cockroaches, but that's a whole different level of hatred.

Praying mantises are actually pretty cool. They have this way of following you with their eyes, plus those arms are lethal.🙂

Grasshoppers, though? When I was just a kid, I used to try and impale them on cacti just for kicks.😈

Honestly, they're fine by me. Ten years of living like this changes a person. Unlike those people up there that I can't even stand to touch, I wouldn't mind taking out a cockroach.

Honestly, I think grasshoppers are the only things that make me lose my mind. When I see them, I just go after them blindly... those legs, the wings, the jumping, the flapping—they're just straight-up revolting.

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Tricky
3. The White Stripes
4. Tom Waits
5. Jazzanova

To be honest, I thought OK Computer was a complete disaster—actually, I pretty much hated all rock back then since I was strictly into hip-hop 😵—but after stumbling upon a review by a critic in the New York Times, I gave it a few more spins and it completely shifted my entire musical perspective.

hip-hop -> Radiohead -> rock😁 😁

At the very least, you got to enjoy 😍 Stairway this summer.

Oh, I love you! 😍 😘

I actually had 😵 Kashmir 😢 on repeat for a good two or three hours straight. That was until I lost my mind because I needed a quick two-hour nap before heading to the airport, so I finally shut it off. 😁

Ugh, I don't know, I still feel like Radiohead is one of those bands that hits you hard on the first listen 👎 and then just stays with you 👎 👎 👎

😁

But whatever, that's just my take. I guess that massive crowd of listeners and critics is probably right after all 🙂

Jessica Wright said:Oh my god, I love you 😍 😘

I actually had Kashmir on loop for like 2 or 3 hours straight 😵 until I totally lost it because I was supposed to squeeze in a 2-hour nap before heading to the airport, so I just shut the whole thing off. 😢 😁

How much does that ugly Kashmir track suck? 😁

restlessmarlin6 said:Man, that Kashmir track is such an eyesore. 😁

I play it around the house all the time. 😁 I'll usually just put it on in the morning. 😬

I actually played it outside once, but honestly, being out there just made me feel even more overwhelmed by everything going on. 😁

1.If you know anything at all

2.If you can just let it go

3.A prayer

4.It’s pointless to ask who’s going

5.Pay close attention to that last part...

restlessmarlin6 said:goldenbadger12:

Man, I don't know, Radiohead still ranks right up there for me as one of those bands that hits you hard on the first listen 👎 and then just keeps evolving 👎 👎 👎

😁

But hey, that's just my take, and I'm sure that massive crowd of listeners and critics probably knows better than I do 🙂

Look, someone here has to be crazy. Either it's you or it's me. 😁

5 covers that actually beat the originals:
1) Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
2) M. Ward – Let's Dance (David Bowie)
3) Lambchop – This Corrosion (Sisters of Mercy)
4) Calexico – Corona (Minutemen—and please don't come for me over this one)
5) Mark Lanegan – BA de da (Fred Neil)
And honestly? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. If I think about Johnny Cash's 'American...' series, you could pull at least five more hits out of there—starting from Personal Jesus and moving down the line...

Then there are the covers that make you want to throw something at the artist—not just because they ruined a great song (which happens constantly), but because they actually had the nerve to convince people their version is the "real" one:
1) G'n'R – Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Dylan)
2) David Bowie and Tina Turner – Tonight (Iggy pop)
3) T.A.T.u. – How Soon Is Now (The Smiths)
...I can't remember any others. It's probably because I generally don't listen to garbage music—if it sucks, I forget it exists. But these were predictable. Even that T.A.T.u. track isn't that irritating; it's more just half-forgotten. They didn't quite manage to steamroll the original with their shitty version.
