Also, maybe try giving it a listen as you’re winding down your day. Used to listen to Kid A before going to sleep… so good
-
@flannel-slut that begs the question: how long did it take you to fall asleep?
-
@Tago-Mago great point. Rarely stayed awake past “Everything in its Right Place”… rest of the album is trash for all I know
-
Speaking of Kid A, check out the cover of Kid A by Punch Brothers if you’ve never heard it.
Mandolin, violin, upright bass, banjo, acoustic guitar
-
Couple other things @chrisjohnnick i get passing on a lot of the shows you mentioned but I would definitely watch Mad Men. It’s great from the jump. And I think worth the watch
@GraemeE I loved Travis and The Man Who back in the day. Need to listen to Elbow apparently
-
@GraemeE I've never listened to Radiohead. Outside of hearing them on the actual radio growing up and riding the bus to school. I never understood the hype.
-
@GardenState totally understandable if you’re getting Radiohead via the radio (the irony!). This would leave you mostly exposed to songs like creep. feel much of the same can be said for Bowie, my favorite work of his not being mainstream.
All that is being said for Kid A also applies to Bowies “Low” IMOP
-
the Bends is very much the sound of the 90s, whereas the time period Kid A encapsulates just hasn't happened yet
-
@flannel-slut Yep, Creep was the song I am/was familiar with. I was small when that album released and by the time I was buying my own music it didn't align with what I liked at the moment.
Ironically doesn't Radiohead hate the song "Creep". Something about them loathing performing it.

Great way to put it
-
Oh, Kid A - such a boring, uninspiring and predictable record from a mediocre band that i just cant say anything positive about. On the other hand i really dont mind other people loving it, i just miss it somehow, same as pearl jam, rhcp and all nu metal nonsense

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.
-
@chrisjohnnick This sounds preferable and kind of amazing.

@Alex said in Unpopular opinions:
The Bends is way better than Kid A
Wrong thread, this is a popular opinion.

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