Carol Jackson45 said:It really bugs me when people start lecturing anyone who says they don't like Radiohead. They act like you just haven't listened closely enough. Why should I force myself to listen intently to something that pushes me away from the very first note? How many Manic Street Preachers albums would I have to slog through before admitting they just aren't my thing? I don't care if some superfan thinks I "don't get it." It doesn't click. Period. And how many Britney Spears albums did you guys have to suffer through before deciding she wasn't for you?😬

I'm with you one hundred percent, except for that tiny window of possibility Jose Miller17 mentioned. He said:

Jose Miller17 said:I tried listening to Kid A all the way through... even bought the original copies... and I actually did it. But it just wasn't enough for me. I kept trying to make myself like it, but nothing happened.
Eventually, I spent a few years pretending they hadn't even released that album... now, that record feels like my own kid.
Man, look what I went through...
But hey, people sacrifice everything for love... 🙂 😁

Basically, if I don't like music, I'll give it two or three spins. Maybe I'll find two decent parts in two songs, and that's it. I can't do it. It doesn't work for me.
Then, about six months to a year later -> 😲 😍
Of course, it doesn't always work. I could wait eight years for Britney and it still wouldn't hit. 😢 😁

Oh yeah, like Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible 😍 😁

Anyone who listens to Radiohead just to feel depressed is basically just being a poser.
You really need to look past the gloom to truly appreciate Radiohead.
Whenever I listen to them and start feeling anxious, I just switch it off at the speed of a panic attack.
That’s why I get people who bail immediately. They feel the depression instead of actually hearing the music on that first listen. It's tough!

That is brilliant. Spot on! 👍 I honestly wonder why I couldn't put it into words like that myself. 😢 😁 😁

I mean, you really have to look past the sheer gloom if you actually want to appreciate what makes Radiohead good.
There’s this specific moment when I’m listening to them where the anxiety just hits, and I end up skipping tracks faster than a nervous wreck on caffeine.
That's why I totally get the people who just bail on them immediately; they're too busy feeling the heavy depression instead of actually hearing the music. It's tough out there!

Even on my very first listen, that sound just gave me straight-up stomach cramps. Honestly, even trying it a second or third time doesn't change anything. Radiohead sucks

Man, whenever I see people comparing Muse and Radiohead, it honestly makes my skin crawl. I’ve listened to pretty much everything both bands have put out and they both mean a lot to me (though I’m leaning slightly more toward Muse), but I seriously don't get where people get the idea that Muse is just a Radiohead rip-off. Especially that claim that Showbiz is just a copy of The Bends?!?! If people were talking about, say, Interpol or Snow Patrol, I might get where they're coming from, but Muse?!?!??! In my humble opinion, they are completely different beasts. The only thing you could even argue is that the vocals share some similarities—not that Bellamy's isn't way better.

Anyway, back to Radiohead. I’m really into The Bends and OK Computer, and even HTTT. I can handle a few tracks on Pablo Honey too, but Kid A and Amnesiac... they just never quite click for me. Still, I see how much everyone else loves them and raves about them, and I don't think it's just people trying to act trendy. Maybe those albums are just gathering dust in my collection for now, but who knows? Maybe one day it'll finally click for me too.

By the way, I really don't get the point of Spike saying "this sucks, that sucks, this rules, that rules" and all that. It's just... why? And I also don't understand the original poster's motive, or why they even felt the need to start a thread titled Radiohead sucks. I guess it's considered "cool" to say Radiohead sucks. Like, opening a thread called "Britney sucks" would be totally ridiculous, but if you go after Radiohead... then suddenly you've made a huge statement and proven you're a true music connoisseur...

It’s not "cool," it’s just easier...
Go ahead, try it yourself: "The OP is an idiot!!!"...
See? Doesn't work for you...😁 😁😁

Oh, please, don't talk nonsense.🙂 Interpol and Snow Patrol have absolutely zero connection to Radiohead, whereas Matt Bellamy was clearly ripping off Thom Yorke for years. Honestly, you can't even compare a pop band like Muse to anything other than being an imitation of Radiohead.

You know how this thread could actually be useful? If anyone knows where I can grab some Radiohead socks!!!111roxsz! I’d really appreciate the help. Ideally, one sock has Thom's face on it and the other has a sad little puppy.

Socks with Thom... 😂 😁
I happen to have a badge with his face on it... though I suppose I'm a bit clumsy, so I'll probably lose it eventually. I guess if anyone wants to claim this lovely little unique piece, they really just need to follow me around day and night and wait for it to fall off... 😛

Look, honestly? This is just getting on my nerves.
When I'm feeling upbeat, I don't need someone whining at me and ruining my vibe—it feels totally unmanly. And when I'm actually down? I’ll do my own crying, thanks. I really don't need some dude reacting to everything with a whiny, high-pitched voice.

That's just how 😁 feels.

What you actually need is a solid, manly hug and a nice, deep masculine voice to comfort you when things get rough... and hey, it's okay to be gay.😉

Thom Yorke is absolutely shredding those vocals while Jonny is busy crafting all this noise—especially now that the band is singing "do they know it's Christmas time at all"

Merry Christmas everybody

Even when Los Angeles finally burns out, leaving nothing behind, and once every frayed nerve is spent—including those of the people pushed to their limits while listening to Radiohead—the stars will continue to shine. They’ll persist in cosmic harmonies, having absorbed and retransmitted the essence of Radiohead.
