Unpopular opinions

[Tago Mago]

@prpx I was just messing with you and tried to come up with a witty reply to the unpredictable comment .

I'm no Radiohead expert, and my favourite album of theirs is OK Computer anyway. When Radiohead made it big in the mid to late 90s I didn't get the hype at all, and didn't follow their progression in depth after OK Computer. I got into that album during Covid because it resonated with me during that time. The feeling of desolation, loneliness and a general disconnect within society that Thom Yorke articulated in some of the songs felt very apropos at the time

Just put OK Computer on - Not sure if that is unpopular or not....I just know that I would not have done it, if this thread had not given Radiohead so much bandwidth....

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I did the same with Kid A and am doing the same with OK Computer now. The Bends next.

Haven’t listened to them in ages so I’m grateful for the opinions ITT.

For the record i can think of few things i would enjoy more at this moment than heatedly debating/arguing about radiohead with all of you over good food and 2-6 cocktails

[SKT]

Damn that would be fun

[mclaincausey]

@prpx hey you owe me no explanation, I can completely understand Radiohead are polarizing and not for everyone. This is unpopular opinions!

Speaking of which, not sure if we covered this previously, but I strongly dislike Oasis.

[GardenState]

@mclaincausey thinking about that song through the lens of emo makes it make more sense. Gosh darn it I’m going to listen to Kid A tomorrow.

@mclaincausey Bold of you to take a stand against Oasis on the year of the fabled reunion. I have to say I agree with you though.

I hope it's not all that unpopular but, I stand by the statement that Gorillaz beats Oasis and Blur every time.

[mclaincausey]

@Shaun I do love me some Gorillaz. Finally got to see them a while back. Great times!

Let's trash another British band. I fucking love Snow Patrol......

@Giles you mean Snowy Petrol, as my mother calls them?

[Giles]

Snowy Petrel would be better....

The Rolling Stones are awful. And the Beatles before the drugs aren’t much better.

[goosehd]

@seawolf So you don’t like Radiohead, The Stones, or the Beatles…how do you feel about Zeppelin?

[seawolf]

@goosehd I didn’t say I don’t like Radiohead. I happen to love their first three albums! They lost their way after OK Computer.

And I like The Beatles when they started getting away from the bubblegum pop sound of their early years. The drugs helped them a lot.

Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time.

@mclaincausey wait wat?! the Gorillaz are actual PEOPLE?!

[Tago Mago]

Placebo - what's the point?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@seawolf In rainbows is a work of art, thats the only one i've ever listened to aside from the songs ive caught on radio.

Also, I very much dislike the Beatles. Zeppelin = Gods.

Favorite British band now is Sleep Token.

[goosehd]

@seawolf Thanks for the clarification. For a moment, I was worried that you had suffered multiple hypoxia related injuries in your previous life as a submariner.

listened to two songs, got bored, put on Individual Thought Patterns. Happy now. I'll give them another try when I'm in a different mood
