Cantdosleepy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='172248' date='Apr 8 2008, 02:26 PM']I have them inflicted on me by others. Sadistic b*stards. But even before listening to their music, I knew I would hate Radiohead. A pretentious tosser like Yorke could never make music that I enjoy.[/quote] Quiet, you.

My point was that Radiohead have sold a hell of a lot of albums, and they probably wouldn't have done if they didn't write music that people like listening to. Why is Thom Yorke Pretentious by the way? I've never seen any interviews or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeefChief Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 He's one of these guys who tries to act as quirky and uncommunicative as possible during interviews so that people think he's "interesting" and "intellectual". What he does say is usually preaching about fairtrade coffee or howling into a microphone whilst playing one of his terrible songs on stage. He's the sort of bloke that stands in front of the mirror trying to look and act as weird as possible before going out because he somehow thinks it makes him look cool. Well Mr Yorke, I can see through your act. The whole mock-autism thing is offensive to those who actually have to live with autism, and if you care so much for the environment, stop touring, stop making records and stop living.

Cantdosleepy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I, with many of my brothers, are waiting for a BBC-authored list of approved artists. We hear a song, we don't know whether to like it or not, we don't know if it's good or bad, we're confused and cold and alone. And itchy. BBC - which artists should I like?

BigBeefChief Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I can see your predicament and I sympathise. I appreciate that on this forum many (most?) members look to me for guidance. Just for you Cantdosleepy here is a list of approved artists that you can listen to without fear of upsetting me. There are more, but these should see you through a few cold and lonely nights: The Who The Jam Oasis The Clash AC/DC The Stone Roses Guns 'n' Roses Dolly Parton The Kinks Black Sabbath Marvin Gaye Led Zeppelin Neil Young Sex Pistols David Bowie (early) Most Motown The Beatles (some) Rod Stewart Jimmy Buffett Elvis (some) The Rolling Stones And here are some things that you definitley can't listen to: Jazz (ANY) Jamiroquai Radiohead Keane Metallica Blink182 Offspring Dream Theatre Muse Bowling for Soup Alien Ant Farm The Smashing Pumpkins Manic Street Preachers SlipKnot Rage Against the Machines Marilyn Manson Fun Lovin Criminals Mark King King Crimson Cream Anything that could be considered "Nu Rave" Any band with a name invented to upset parents. I've kept the second list short to prove I'm not a negative person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Heh, BBC, you have such bad taste! Guns 'n' Roses!!! Dolly Parton!!!!!! I still think you'd love the premature ejaculators. We'll have the album finished in a couple of weeks. I'll post you a free one in return for at least 12 months amusing forum posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeefChief Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ahh, but that depends who your parents are and what era they were born. I should have said invented to upset TODAY's parents. Apologies. For a young pup like me, Black Sabbath and Sex pistols are a no more offensive name to my parents than The Starlight Vocal Band. I'm talking about bands with names such as Anal Puke, Nunnery Rape Orgy and Satans Hairy C*nt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Personally, i think Radiohead are fantastic and a real credit to modern music. Ok Computer is of course an alltime classic and i don't think it's far from being one of the best albums of the 20th Century, but my personal favourite is Hail To The Thief, that's a great album and has some meaty basslines for sure. I'm going to see them in Manchester in June and i can't wait ! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I'm with the BigBeefChief on this one... (Apart from his lack of taste where jazz is concerned!) I listened (or at least tried) to the RadioHead tracks from the Jonathan Ross show on YouTube & didn't make it through a single one of them. The singer couldn't hold a tune in a bucket & I could teach a total moron to play those basslines in 30 mins flat. So not very musically challenging & a dreadfully depressing durge to boot! Oh dear, I sound like my Dad! Oh yes, the point of the thread... Yes, the sound mix quality was lovely for tv studio stuff.

Not all of it, some of it (like "Sunshine of your love") hasn't worn terribly well. I would add: Approved list - R&B Reject list - r&b and I think it's terribly selfish of the young generation to appropriate a term used for Real Music and apply it to bland warbley sh*te. Get your own bloody terms, feckless lazy ignorant youth of today, and leave ours for us to apply to Proper Musicians. Oh, and Approved list - Queen (early and late) Reject list - Queen (middle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
