I hate Radiohead.

[RandomKoolzip]

Alright, there it is. I feel better.

Remember, opinions are subjective.

[Langis]

1. Most a subjective

Your's are wrong.

;-)

[RandomKoolzip]

11. Radiohead: the ultimate sacred cow.

It's like putting down the Beastie Boys: "hogpile on the infidel!"

[FrankBooth]

14. You are right

And I think a lot of people just like to slay sacred cows.

[RandomKoolzip]

21. No, I didn't like them when they were UNpopular, either.

Just don't see what the big deal is. I mean, we already had ONE Pink Floyd, who needs another one?

[Swamp Rat]

24. Mentioning Radiohead and Pink Floyd in the same sentence is punishable

by death... but since I agree with your subjective post, I'll let it slide. :hi:

[Trajan]

2. It's April 21st ....

Everybody knows today is Earth Day ....

Merry Christmas ...

Happy Birthday to everybody who was born today ....

Oh ... That's Dramarama ....

Sorry ....

[dolo amber]

3. The best thing about RH

is Thom Yorke's sexy lazy eye...grrr....:D

[redqueen]

4. No, they rock

The Pixies, though... ugh! Talk about overrated!

[FrankBooth]

8. Sacrilege

Pixies rule.

[redqueen]

9. Please

They may have had some good stuff, but it only served to highlight the awfulness of the drudgery that made up much of their work.

[FrankBooth]

12. No no no ...

All the pixies albums are great, as are the first two Frank Black albums. Their most uneven, IMHO, are Bossa Nova and Trompe Le Monde, but even those albums were excellent.

[redqueen]

15. God... Trompe Le Monde

Planet of Sound would convince anyone they suck!

[FrankBooth]

16. But UMass is great!

That's educational!

[redqueen]

19. Yes, it is!

I can't keep up the charade... I just can't!

Pixies rock... I was only being spiteful... please don't hate me!

:cry:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

38. Surfer Rosa and Doolittle were classics

the rest so-so.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

41. Actually, I love Trompe le Monde.

I think it rocks.

[Zomby Woof]

34. finally!

I was thinking I was the only DUer on to how mediocre the Pixies are. It's the typical more-pretentious-than-thou college rock.

[FrankBooth]

5. Well, at least you love GBV

so despite your subjectively bad opinion about Radiohead, a great band, you are still all right with me.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. I hate Guided by Voices.

Only hipsters and music journalists like them. O8)

[FrankBooth]

18. you really know how to hurt a guy

hipsters and music journalists are two of the lowest forms of human life.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. Don't worry. This is just a thing Koolzip and I have.

We're compelled to insult each other's taste.

[flamingyouth]

23. You and me both

Alan must have had 200 of their crappy CDs. x(

[jpgray]

6. Me too

Singer that sounds like Colin Blunstone trying to do Damo Suzuki, band that's draggy with a monotonic 'beautiful despair' mood throughout. :puke:

And by 'I hate x', of course, we mean 'I have a mild dislike towards x which has been radicalized by the disproportionate amount of hype and praise heaped on top of them'. Objectively as a band, they're quite good compared to the rest of the stuff out there. In that sense I also hate Yo La Tengo and Wilco.

[RandomKoolzip]

10. Yo La Tengo blows.

They blew back when they were unpopular, too. The worst result of what happens when we allow record collectors to form bands.

Actually, Radiohead has ONE GREAT SONG: "Electioneering." I love that song. An actual rock song that rocks, with balls. Everything else is glacial diarrhea.

[redqueen]

13. Glacial diarrhea?

Is that diarrhea that moves really slow?

Or is it really cold?

You're confusing me!

[RandomKoolzip]

22. As long as you got a negative connotation from it...

I'm happy.

[tigereye]

20. hey hey hey

They do not blow!! Fakebook is my favorite. But their rockin' stuff is good too. You know me, I will defend pretty much any alt band with a female drummer. ;)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

36. How 'bout the Go-Betweens, then?

And I love Yo La Tengo.

[tigereye]

42. I think I have that Liberty Belle album

that name is really familiar. Or have you posted pix of it before? Now I have to go and scour through the record stacks.

[asthmaticeog]

30. Record collectors forming bands --

Though I agree that Yo La is overrated bar-band crap, the rock bottom of collector-scum bands is (insert post-rock band here).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

37. Come on, it's gotta be The Pastels.

[asthmaticeog]

39. No way.

"Breaking Lines" was one of the prettiest songs of the '80s. I will not trash the Pastels.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

40. Stephen Pastel used to work at my local bookstore in Glasgow.

He's like that in real life too.

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. That's because they suck.

Duh.

[Elidor]

25. And Megadeath's version of 'Anarchy' is way better than the Pistols'

Johnny Rotten was a precocious little bitch whose entire stage presence - nay! his entire career! - consisted of "look how naughty I am!"

And I don't even like Megadeath.

[last_texas_dem]

26. Amen!

Actually, Pablo Honey is a pretty good album and The Bends is half-decent as well. What happened next I'm not sure... suddenly they became critics' heroes and rock megastars and I stopped liking anything by them. And I'm not someone who just likes to slay sacred cows... The Beatles are still my all-time favorite group, so how could I be? But anyway, this is just my take, opinions are subjective, taste is taste, etc.

[enigmatic]

31. "The Bends" is a great record..

The last "musical" one they've made, really..

[ghostsofgiants]

27. ...

I love Radiohead. Very much so.

kthxbye

[Jack_Dawson]

28. You'll mature...

Don't worry. Happens to most intelligent people.

[Zero Division]

29. Good for you. Though I find them quite enjoyable, myself.

I thought they were boring as hell when "Creep" got popular, but grew to love them when The Bends came out. I'll admit, though, everything after OK Computer is indeed overrated. Radiohead hatred is not really unique.

As far as critically acclaimed bands that I could very comfortably without ever hearing about again goes: The Strokes. Just plain boring shit.

[jonnyblitz]

32. i dont care for them either. n/t

[4_Legs_Good]

33. Creep is one of the greatest songs ever

The non-radio edit version, of course.

I haven't listened to a lot of Radiohead, but I'd like to.

[ezod]

43. Well aren't you...

SO FUCKIN' SPECIAL! (I feel better too.)
