Radiohead fans, I need advice on CD picks..

How about ALL of them... Even some of their EPs/singles. There are some songs on those that are fantastic that are not on any of their regular albums. Ok Computer, The Bends & In Rainbows are my personal favs thus far. The song, "Blow Out" form Pablo Honey is awesome.

Next stop for you, Muse perhaps?

Poor man's Radiohead

This is great stuff thanks. When I started the thread I thought
I'd get like one response....wow was I wrong and happily so. At
52 I finally discovered a truly unique and talented band...do they
have any DVD's that are must haves???

Oh, and someone in another post told me about half.com, I was able to get all the CD's by Radiohead-well 6 of them for $22 shipped, could very
well be the BEST BANG for my BUCK ever!! One of my lifetimes greatest buys!!!:)

If you like Radiohead, check out the band Gazpacho. Album "Tick Tock".

My Iron Lung has the song "Trickster" on it... it's awesome.

As I stated earlier, and echoed by us Radiohead fans here, My Iron Lung is a classic. It's Bends-style (read: early melody-oriented) and was released between Pablo and The Bends. It was the first evidence that a major transition was happening with the group. A great and required addition to the Radiohead library.

eclein · « **Reply #28 on:** 8 May 2010, 05:28 pm »

"My Iron Lung" is fantastic, what a treat....I started with the latest album and now I'm jumping to earlier out of the starting blocks stuff and its all good, I expect the rest of the collection Mon. or Tues. I gotta turn my kids onto this stuff if they aren't already converts!!

My other neighbor just lent me "Amnesiac"....pretty much got them all now...

ted_b · « **Reply #29 on:** 8 May 2010, 06:19 pm »

By the way Ed... Congrats!! I envy you. We can all remember the first time we got hooked on OK Computer, for example, and the thought that you still have those experiences in front of you is well....very cool!

Ericus Rex · « **Reply #30 on:** 8 May 2010, 06:28 pm »

Lots of live tracks on Youtube.

eclein · « **Reply #31 on:** 8 May 2010, 06:29 pm »

My oh my this is FUN....thanks ted_b,

I do get a bit pumped up over these discoveries. Before I came to this website my music library was very small and mostly Steely Dan/Pat Metheny type stuff.....I now have thousands of songs and thanks to everyone here who gave me advice about my system I'm enjoying my music 1000% more!!

=5 thumbs up!!!

You're all wrong. You need to buy them all including all the rare releases. Seriously.

And we're wrong why??? We've said same thing...his question was initially asked as "which one next". All of us have eventually given our opinion then concluded by saying all of them..including b-sides, EP's, etc. Why are we all wrong???

eclein · « **Reply #34 on:** 8 May 2010, 07:43 pm »

So far in less than 24 hrs. I have in hands or on the way the following:
1) In Rainbows
2 )Amnesiac
3) My Iron Lung
4) OK Computer
5) I Might Be Wrong
6) Kid A
7) The Bends

Hail To The Thief
I haven't gone this nuts over a band in quite some time

nonoise · « **Reply #35 on:** 8 May 2010, 07:52 pm »

Thanks to all.
For quite some time I've been wondering which RadioHead CDs to get as well and put it all on the backburner. This thread simplified things for me as well as getting me back on track. For someone who loved 'alternative' music and what I heard on the radio, I never went out and got a RadioHead CD.
Cudos to you guys.

eclein · « **Reply #36 on:** 8 May 2010, 08:08 pm »

nonoise-thats what happened to me, I heard some of these tunes but never went in search of them....now that I'm disabled/retired I decided to check them out, glad I did!!! By the way if your looking for CD's, used is what I buy, I was able to get 6 of these babies for like $22 shipped...places like half.com, amazon, etc.. have unbelievably low prices on CD's, some are under $5 shipped!!!Took me like 5 minutes to order them all...piece of cake!!

you're wrong for the same reason you'd be wrong if In a multiple choice question you penciled in 'C' when the correct answer is 'all of the above'

seriously though fr me if I had to put in order which albums were my favorite I'd be at a cmplete loss how to answer. Bestest band in the universe!
