like stone roses but geeze this is horrible to listen to, theres not too many occasions I can say they sounded very good live. i always thought ian brown sounded better as a solo artist he made songs that fit round his style of singing |

Costello is better than Presley
Bob Dylan is an excellent singer.
The Good The Bad And The Queen are better than Blur
Laura Marling is already an all time great.

In my opinion, Kid A with headphones on in a pitch black room, eyes closed and the volume up is the most beautiful, depressing, ethereal experience music has to offer. I love it. Funnily enough, that's exactly what I'm doing, blackout blinds included. The synth/moog at the start of track two sounds like it comes from a Pokemon game. Kid A at the moment is my favorite Radiohead album but I can never get through track 2. I skip it every time. Everything in its Right Place into the National Anthem is a much better transition. |

I'd take the first three Pearl Jam albums over Nirvanas three studio albums.
I dont like any solo Lennon album and his version of Stand By Me is one of my least favorite cover versions of any song.

Kid A is a damn fine album but yeah it gets praised over a little bit too much. It is a outstanding and landmark album but its not a life changing one.
Definitely an album to put on and do nothing else but listen to it. I remember when I first fell in love with that album was when I was reading All Quiet on the Western Front back in high school. Kid A really soundtracked that book for me.
The Black Keys are overrated and aren't even half the band The White Stripes were. Good, not great couple albums to start but now they've just become a lame arena rock band with stale Danger Mouse production and recycled riffs.
Doubling down and saying Jack White's solo career is pretty lackluster as well. Great live performer (saw him twice last year), but the material just lacks magic on record. Not sure how I feel about him becoming the face of rock n roll for the generation after Dave Grohl, at least for Americans.

Kid A is well overrated.
Don't get me wrong i like "Everything In Its Right Place" and ""idioteque" but rest of that album really is quite meh.
Its only people who never listened to electronic music in the 90s who seem to big it up so much.
Crudely put Radiohead don't even make good electronic music.
Thom Yorkes last EP or whatever was just shit.
Ive always thought of Radiohead in general as good musicians and clever but will always make emotionally cold and calculated music.
On paper i should like them but no matter what asthetics they use bar a few songs i have never liked them much as a band.

On paper i should like them but no matter what asthetics they use bar a few songs i have never liked them much as a band. For me this is one of the misconceptions about Kid A - that it's an electronic album. In my view it takes the rock formula they perfected on OK Computer, largely takes out the riffs, hooks and big choruses and puts in their place the atmosphere and textures of electronic music shown by Eno and Aphex Twin. Then it throws in some jazz and orchestra, seemingly records it underwater and still ends up with an album that is somehow greater than the sum of its parts. Not electronica, not quite rock or even jazz but a gorgeous, weirdly natural mix of it all. It's so weird how people can listen to the same piece of music and walk away thinking entirely different things - to me Radiohead is the most emotional band I know and they never fail to move me in whatever mood they're conveying, whereas you find them emotionally cold and calculating - and then there's a million opinions in between all with their own followers, something true of all well known bands (not least Oasis) I do agree Tomorrow's Modern Boxes was underwhelming though  |

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate Radiohead or anything like that. In regards to Kid A i did say i like "Everything Its Right Place" and "Idioqtique" just think as an album it was hopelessly overated by some in itst time which didn't make sense.
It wasn't a 'Metal Box'. I just dont hold Radiohead that high up in the scheme of things that many do. Even though they clearly are all good musicicans and talented etc.
But i am old enough to remember Radiohead from their "Pop Is Dead" days. Ive always been suspicious of Yorke and co. put it like that.

here comes the bombshell of the thread and Im ready to receive monumental backlash...
I dont like the beatles, Ive tried so many times to listen to their albums and I never get anything from them at all, some songs are ok like the hits but on the whole I really dont think they were all that, I just dont see the x factor that everyone seems to see in them.
people say oasis was a beatles impersonation band but why then do I find such a huge connection with oasis but literally 0 with the beatles.

How can you not like The Beatles? I mean, I get that not everyone is a huge Beatles fan, but how can you not see why they're one of the biggest and best bands of the world?
They were great songwriters (they were actually one of the first acts who wrote their own songs), going beyond the regular themes of the early 60s, exploring multiple genres, were great at harmonies, looked great, were good at playing their instruments, even had a good sense of humour and inspired almost every band that came after them. Their drive was crazy too, I mean, look up their schedules from when they were in Hamburg, that's insane! They were 4 lads from Liverpool, with 3 out of 4 from pretty poor neighbourhoods, and they made it with their own strength.
I always say there's a Beatles song for everyone. They have done R&B, rock, pop, children's songs, folk, blues, hardrock, jazz, psychedelic, classical music, avant garde, and what not.

Since we're on the topic of The Beatles, and since we're also on an Oasis forum, I truly think Oasis was much more solid with their albums during their peak (1994-1997) than The Beatles were.

dont get me wrong guys, they arnt shite, and I do understand why they are THE biggest band of of all time I just dont have a connection with the songs maybe its because I grew up with oasis and its just a generation thing that they were simply before my time.

As Noel Gallagher once said he was vaguely responsible for Robbie Williams having a solo career - such a heinous crime in itself - i hate Oasis for that alone.

Have you listened to A Day in the Life at a whacked-up volume? That's what converted me when I was a non-Beatle-believer |

A Day In The Life is possibly the best song ever.

Without Here Comes the Sun there would've never been a song like Mersey Paradise.

Have you ever listened to anything pre Born in the USA? If not go listen to the albums Darkness on the Edge of Town and Nebraska. If you still think he's cheesy there is nothing I can do but his albums pre mid 80's s synthesizer are completely different. Yeah and I definitely prefer that Bruce over the later material. Still haven't listened to all his material though, think I haven't heard any modern stuff from him since The Rising, which I thought was actually pretty good. When his anthems hit they are great but I think he's acoustic stuff is a bit more consistent/enjoyable for me. My top 2 albums from him Born to Run and Nebraska. Might give them another shot see if I can't fall in love with them a bit more now that its summertime. I highly recommend Nebraska. It's one of the most haunting albums I've ever heard. |

Not a fan of Bruce Springsteen -He can't sing or perform at all. The Who are overrated, The Guess Who might been the better Who band. Guns n' Roses are god awful band with a god awful egoistical lead singer. Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins is delusional these days no one cares of the pumpkins with just him. The world be better if Sting would just disappear from the world all together.

I haven't listened to anything by the Arctic Monkeys outside of some tune on the radio last month that I couldn't remember. I do think Coldplay is overrated, but they have great songs. I'm not a big fan of John Lennon's solo work besides Instant Karma. Here's the shocker: Although I enjoy Johnny Marr and I think he's a great guitarist, I don't know how he's believed to be one of the greatest. mimmihopps can probably enlighten me! |
