So Radiohead had a new album this year?
Forgive me, for I'm not too up-to-date with these things anymore.
But, if it's in the top for two people, I'm guessing it's worth listening to?
Same goes for Jens Lekman?
In Rainbows by Radiohead with Anonymous by Tomahawk a close second.
People will hate Radiohead cos they're Radiohead, people will love Radiohead because they're Radiohead. Let's not overlook the fact that they make a thing called music, rate them by that alone, regardless of liking or hating.
Subjectivity is always there, but I PERSONALLY question people saying it's a garbage album, In Rainbows by Radiohead I mean.
-AC

1. Simon and Garfunkel - Garfunkel
2. Regina Spektor- Begin to Hope
3. Ben Folds Five- Whatever and Ever Amen
4. Linkin Park- Meteora
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magik
6. U2- All that you can't leave behind
7. The Music- welcome to the north
8. System of a Down- Toxicity
9. (beeeethoven)
10. (mozarts Requiem)

I take your opinion of the band with a pinch of salt, considering you seem to be incapable of differentiating between sparse and minimal, but that's my opinion.
You're fond of guitar, and the guitar they use. They have good guitarists. This does not mean it's one of their strengths. The strengths is their minds, and what they create with it.

That said, they utilize both sparse and minimalistic instrumentation. Sparse instrumentation has always been a trait of theirs, which I have never minded as I love OK Computer, but they have become increasingly minimalistic. It is a fact and even one they openly admit to.
Originally posted by chillmeistergenI like it better than Amnesiac and Kid A, but I think I like Hail to the Thief a touch better. I'm kinda undecided on that one though... not that I feel that I actually need to choose.
I think In Rainbows could well be my favourite Radiohead album, since OK Computer.
Originally posted by Bardock42They are my least favourite by them yes. It seems to me I should listen Aphex Twin rather than Kid A. I dunno, those albums just didn't strike a chord with me at all.
Hol' on a minute just for a sec, Nelli.Radiohead have 7 Studio Albums as of today...placing In Rainbows as their fifth best and what you just said besides that....are you saying Kid A and Amnesiac are their worst albums?
