Give it a little time, and then when you're in a different frame of mind, give it another listen.

I've had to do that with certain music. No idea why, but one minute it won't sound so great, and the next, I'll love it.

Kid A is my most favorite. Just sayin'.

That happened to me with many albums...I know I just have to give it a little time...I'll probably feel like listening it in few weeks time and then I'll tell you what I think...

Seeing them in Manchester this June. Cannot wait as Radiohead are my favourite band of all time easily. Elbow are close but for sheer consistent brilliance you cannot look past Radiohead. In Rainbows was a triumph I think and my stand out tracks would be All I Need, Reckoner and House Of Cards. Anyone else seeing them this year?

I find that the albums I'm not too sure about on first listen tend to be the one's that I love most in the long run. Good music needs to be absorbed slowly.

Totally. Music appreciation is a skill that can be nurtured, I'm finding more so as time goes by.

And Topaz, Kid A is my favourite as well Very Happy

Though sometimes I slip into an OK Computer mood, the two are so different yet equally brilliant to me. Smile

I think I've been too hard on In Rainbows. For one, the title is misleading - it's not a soulless piece of art like it suggests to me. In particular, the song Reckoner has started speaking to me. I'd almost forgotten that a despairing song can be just as powerful as a joyful song. Reckoner has elements of both to my ears. Good stuff!

I still think Bodysnatchers is below them, though. Razz

03.There There
04.All I Need
05.Nude
06.Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
07.The Gloaming
08.The National Anthem
09.Faust Arp
10.No Surprises
11.Jigsaw Falling Into Place
12.Reckoner
13.Just
14.Bangers And Mash
15.Everything In Its Right Place
16.Fake Plastic Trees
17.Bodysnatchers
Encore 1
18.Videotape
19.Paranoid Android
20.Myxomatosis
21.Optimistic
22.Karma Police

Good stuff. sunny

Idioteque! That was it. I couldn't remember the name of it. Wasn't Just just fantastic. I didn't think the would play it, being that Mark Ronson has made it popular among non-radiohead masses. I think that musically, radiohead are propbably one of the most accomplished bands of our time. Some of the beats that the hold together are mindblowing. Bit of a trek from Portsmouth to Manchester, Ted, that's what I call devotion.
