well, Ian Mac was always the guy that 'bought' the long jacket, whereas JCope was born wearing the jacket.

I'm about to disappear round a crag of radioactive Cornish granite where my signal will disappear again. Anything else to add about Thom Yorke, Julian Cope or Ocean Rain or can I go back to hiking in the stone age again?

can't believe we're really debating this, c'mon guys I'm not even really a fan of Radiohead but this is a pretty good album all things considered

Never underestimate the internet's capacity to both overrate and underrate this band's legacy.
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
any band's legacy.
the internet has even caused me -- briefly -- to question my belief that foghat is the greatest rock band of all times.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
I kinda feel like Radiohead is a special case though, in terms of the extremity of the underrating and overrating.
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
well they are the worst band ever
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
Radiohead are a good solid band! I mean they're not in my personal Top 10 (I have no idea how TY got in my all time Top 10 WS but there you go) but they are a kind of focus for loving or hating a certain millennial seam of music, pop culture, etc. Middlebrow always attracts more consternation than Hi or Lo brows put together.

It *was* Pitchfork's best album of the 90s iirc, but that poll was some time ago, so yeah, maybe things have moved on?

I voted "fucking terrible," because that best reflects my lack of any desire to listen to it. It's obviously more ambitious and made by brighter guys than the average dross out there, but it's also a pretentious bore, offered too little in the way of melody, rhythm (lol), or interesting ideas to command my attention once I figured out that I didn't have to listen to something because people on my peer group regarded it as "important." Also, they're British.

paranoid android is the litmus test 4 me, bc I like the first section of the song, looks like it would lead to a jam, but then it goes into the oh no the android is really paranoid now time to rock part and then it's the rain down I'm sad now part and I'm just like fuck this shit, skip to the Miranda lambert cover

I don't understand who would rep for OKC as their best album. Hell it's not even the best release RH put out in 1997! (How Am I Driving knocks it sideways) but I know with this band (or any band w a large fairly consistent output) ppl tend to rate highest the album they heard first and for most ppl it was this one.
I'm so repetitive at this point I'm boring myself. Need a pint of Proper Job waiting for me in Mousehole.

there are lots of pretty pop songs on this not sure how you could quantify that "too little in the way of melody"
but in rainbows is the only radiohead album I go back to

Blimey just remembering what Internet album hype was like before there was an ILX.
I was trying to explain early Internet music fandom to someone on twitter and realised I thought of atease.web as "that new site" after I got thrown off the official forum. Wandering back into a fandom after you've been out of it for 10 years is Fucken weird, like in-jokes that stay the same and become canon and ones that wither away.
I mentioned "cheesecake" to someone and they knew what I was talking about but "the White chocolate Farm" drew a blank. What happens to the ancient strata of the Internet? (hiking is gonna make me start thinking of Thable Thom then I'll laugh so hard beer comes out my nose)
― Polemicist Who Slashed All, Freely (Fotherington Thomas), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 15:29 (twelve years ago) link
Makes me wonder, what if real ILM is sunk forever what if yhe sandbox becomes all there is?

When they have to point out the melody for you, there's a problem. These guys started making listenable music when they acknowledged their "song"-writing limitations. Not that it's any more my style.
