      Off the top of my head I can’t think of another show with such a drastic drop in quality.

      Happy Days. Literally where the phrase "jumping the shark" came from.

          The Bends is way better than Kid A

          Wrong thread, this is a popular opinion. 😂

            @seawolf true, although Happy Days was never a big thing in Germany, at least not as far as I can remember. My main point of reference for Happy Days is Weezer's Buddy Holly music video

              I get not liking Kid A but it’s not predictable. Gimme a break 🤣

              Think it, be it.

                    I've never seen so many people get so riled up over a topic in this thread before. Kid A is quite controversial! I will listen to it on my way to and from class today. I'm going to really try this time. I'll report back. I'm going into this openly and freely, and I'm not under duress.

                        I don’t care if anyone likes it, but I had to react to that word being attached to it.

                        Why do I like it? Well I love weird atmospheric and dystopian music. Stuff like FSOL, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, etc. it just feels in line with that kind of music, and it took quite a bit of courage to go from a hit album to one that is deliberately obtuse and unpleasant to listen to at times.

                        Think it, be it.

                          @Tago-Mago You might be onto something there. I knoooooow. I need to put them back on. I'll try again with Opeth this week. I swear.

                            Ahh. Just what I like to listen to. 😂 I'll give it the old college try, and if I end up liking it, or (gasp) even loving it, I will report back, hat in hand and admit I was wrong. It's an album from a very talented band so I will give it the respect it deserves and listen to it objectively and succumb to the music. Hopefully it's not too unpleasant!

                              There’s no such thing as being right or wrong in the appreciation of art, and one’s appreciation of art can evolve, so I don’t see any grounds for apologizing if you enjoy it this go round.

                              If anything, I should be apologizing to subjecting t you to more torture 🤣

                                    Ironically doesn't Radiohead hate the song "Creep". Something about them loathing performing it.

                                    I have that album on vinyl and Creep is on both sides of the album as a joke because of how much people want to hear the song.

                                      I feel like they were kind of self conscious about how emo the song was. I love it and the more rock oriented output of Pablo Honey and The Bends.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        @Tago-Mago or maybe in matters of taste, you soon find some people have it and others don’t! 😃

                                        Actually, I think you and @mclaincausey are right but if I can’t be slightly provocative on this thread (knowing full well I’m on thin ice with my musical tastes) where can I?
