The Music Thread!

Here's a good one for ya!

Richard James (Aphex Twin) used to drive round Islington (trendy suburb of North London) in a US Sherman tank!!

Also, an illustrator I used to work with lived next door to his flat. He was mighty 'annoyed' that at 3am every night for about 3 months, AT would work on one of his most horrendous tracks, very loud.

We told him to go 'n complain, his answer was simple... 'you can't, it's Aphex Twin, the guy is a genius!':D
 
Valrus do you have Kid A? It's a brilliant album, took me like 5 plays through to appreciate it, but now it's great.

YEAH! I thought I was the only guy in the world that listened to them!!! i have all of their CDs, and even the vinyl records. I think the best one they do is Phantom of the Opera. That kicks ass. Uptown girl is good too.

So how many music threads are there on this forum now? I started one about 2 months ago... I remember one just like this... oh yeah, there was a lyrics thread.......
 
Heyyyyy Matrix... of course I have Kid A. :D Wow, what a fantastic album. It was actually my first Radiohead album; I figured if I liked that it would be a good acid test of whether I would like their other stuff. Little did I know how different Kid A was from all their earlier work! It's all great though. Except maybe Pablo Honey ;)

Idioteque!!! Best song ever!

And of course Amnesiac is a great album too. Have you heard their new live one, "I Might Be Wrong?" The version of "Like Spinning Plates" on it is fantastic.

Same with me. i'm a diehard fan of radiohead (i've got all the albums, except Pablo HOney (it sucks) and i check greenplastic.com everyday for some news) But it took me a while to appreciate Kid A, but now i find it the best album that radiohead ever made.

(they're now working on a new album that will release in the first half of the summer 2003 :d)

my list of worst to best albums of radiohead

pablo honey
the bends
amnesiac
ok computer
kid a


the best b-side-song: Fog (alligators in new york sewers) or the amazing sounds of orgy (great song)


senne. (now working on a ......... *Bihihihiuhuhu*PC)

yeeeeeeeeep! like spinning plates is wonderful! also the Live version of idioteque.. brilliant. You've got to download the live version of idioteque recorderd at the BBC, it's the best live song i've ever heard of idioteque.

And how to dissapear completely, that live version, i have a video of that song, http://www.dallasmavs.net/rhead/
(great site btw, you can download everything there, i'm suprised that it isn't yet trown of the internet by some legal-guys)

I'm not a huge fan of Amnesiac. I only like a few songs. Most sound like B-sides from Kid A. Have you guys seen the video for the "Pyramid Song"? I know quite a few people who don't like it, but I think it's amazing. Unfortunately a downloaded MPG off the web doesn't do it justice.

I'm curious Senne (or anyone else who likes them.) How would you rate the Pixies albums?

For me (good to best):

Come on Pilgrim
Trompe Le Monde
Surfer Rosa
Doolittle
Bossanova
 
to say that Pable Honey "sucks" is a bit unfair... it just is a bit immature in comparison to Radioheads other releases... "Anyone can play guitar" from Pable honey is one my fave Radiohead songs.

senne and dlookus... it does look like we have a lot of common tastes in music. :D
 
K, time for my list! :)

No order here... just... good stuff.

Loreena McKennit
Delerium
Enigma
The Offspring
Nirvana
Three Doors Down
Michelle Branch
Cusco
Positively Dark (this new band that's quite good... go to mp3.com/positivelydark and check it out; download the song "Iceland"!)
Mythos
Rob Dougan
Propellerheads
The Crystal Method
Chemical Brothers
Juno Reactor
Cyndi Lauper (only "Time After Time"--what a great song)
Waterbone
Myth
Alanis Morissette
Baka Beyond
D.M. Cook :))) (I'm allowed to do this, right? :))
Garmarna
Sorten Muld
Mars Lasar

Wow, what a wierd mix it is. :)
