what would be a much better tempo? would 170 bpm be ideal?
what would be a stronger melody? one that avoided the middle half of a piano?

OK Computer changed my life and all you fuckers saying it is bad should suck my dick! You guys are supposedly "I love music"?

I decline. Many people, myself included, have strong personal attachments to bad music, especially that which they enjoyed in their youth/adolescence.

You can't just be like OH the tempo is wrong and the melody is wrong, you have to live inside the song and let it be part of you! It's a song not a textbook! Try listening to Exit Music on a discman under a bridge in the middle of January and then tell me it doesn' t have a melody and the tempo is wrong!

yeah!

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
wait are you under a bridge b/c you're a goat, or because you're listening to Radiohead?

It changed my life by giving me a whole philosophy about the beauty of life! I stopped doing stupid stuff and started working on myself. Could a "fucking terrible album" do that?
― billy goat, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
... Yes?

How can something be terrible if it makes you a better person?
Ha ha man hanging out under the bridge was dumb OK! but Kurt used to do it and it was a good place to think and get away

only 100 people bought OK Computer at the time but every single one of them went out and lived under a bridge

so what constitutes an "interesting" melody in your opinion? it's not like you can play this stuff on a piano with one finger, like it's Nickelback or something
Isn't a melody by definition something that you can play on the piano with one finger?
― o. nate, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:27 (twelve years ago) link
Not necessarily. in its strictest definition a melody is a series of sequential notes; the intervals between those notes may make playing the line with one finger challenging.
― OH NOES, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
what if it's a really long finger?
― Nemanja Vmić (Julie Lagger), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
then you're screwed with faster rhythms
― OH NOES, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:31 (twelve years ago) link
So basically better melodies use legato?
― o. nate, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:31 (twelve years ago) link
long finger, screwed. got it.

lol
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not really sure what constitutes a better or worse melody. I'm trying to figure out how you can say "if you know the most basic music theory, Radiohead have bad melodies" and instantly thought of the song "Photograph" by Nickelback

"if you know the most basic music theory, Radiohead have bad melodies"
