Hail to the Thief

Music... Hmm...

I listen to some Radiohead, but not an excessive amount.
I am, admittedly, at least somewhat of a product of MTV upbringing. Musical tastes have varied between really bad pop and rap like five years ago to things like BHC, Aerosmith (older, please), Staind (yes, those guys on MTV and MTV2 fairly often), Cold (who are, apparently, becoming more popular, as when I got their first CD no one knew who they were), and Finger Eleven. The last produced probably the only cover song I really like, "Walking In My Shoes" by Depeche Mode, I think.

Oh, you might also sometimes find me listening to bands like Oleander, a band 99% of my friends loathe. Good torture...

Oh yea, Hi everyone!

 

Either way, welcome to the forum!

 

As am I. However, I grew up when MTV first went on the air (or on the cable, whatever), when it was hip to wear vinyl MTV jackets with the arms scrunched up (even the school cook wore one), and when MTV actually played music videos 24/7. I recall fondly the first time I saw a Twisted Sister video, the time we all spent on the school bus singing Falco songs en masse, all the glorious weekends at the mall picking out color-coordinated legwarmers and Swatches.... Wait, what was this thread about again?

*waves*

 

I was brought up musicaly in the dawn of rock & roll, '55 & '56, WBAI out of Boston, at night on the skip. Learned gituar just in time for the great folk scare, played basket houses in NYC's Greenwich Village, knew people who became famous & are now forgoten. Yes, I do know most of the groups you are metioning.

One word. Blues.

 

Is it better than, or is it equally as good as, OK Computer? I'll buy it this monday.

 

God I wish I could do that. Just decide to go out and buy a CD, then buy it in a few days...
I want money!

 

Well I've been saving money for Radiohead's new album and some other albums that will come out this year.

 

It's hard to compare the two albums, but this is on par with OK Computer. It mixes the sound of OK computer with what they did with their last two albums. I see it as sort of a quasi-sequel to OK Computer.

 

Yeah, it has some dreamy elements from OK Computer. I've been listening to it the whole day.
