Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

Honestly I just grew up listening to them and singing them. I’m a hobbyist singer and Thoms vocal range and tone fits my voice perfectly. I’ve been singing Radiohead songs in my car and living room and in karaoke bars for like 15 years. It’s not gonna be replaceable unfortunately.
I’ll have to go back to everyone thinking I’m a weirdo by singing They Might Be Giants songs instead. NOBODY RUIN THEM FOR ME TOO FFS.
People make fun of me for being a DJ but EDM is all I’ve got left after the bands I grew up with keep getting rightfully cancelled
I also hate They Might be Giants. I don’t think they did anything wrong, I just think they’re the progeny of nerdy band kids being quirky and writing the Juno soundtrack. Radio head taught band geeks they could make pretentious and boring rock music.
I’m EDM neutral outside of goth shit, most is too outside of my range of taste to have any meaningful thoughts.
I sound like Robert Smith when I sing and it’s hard to not do a fake British accent while doing so
Oh yeah I mostly love TMBG because of how fun they are to sing and how annoyed people get when you do. They’re so nerdy and that’s fun to me. I chose to lean into my nerdiness rather than shy away from it decades ago
You can hate TMBG if you want but if they’re not politically bad then, like, nobody cares, it’s kind of just your opinion. And like with all music, a really subjective on at that.
They have a fun song called Your Racist Friend which is about not tolerating your friend’s racist friends, so that would at least suggest that they’re OK
Noticing you seem very effected by fanbases and particularly which highschool cliques were into something between this and the Death Note thing. Personally i would advise against that type of thinking.
I’ve seen some death note and have overheard some amount of radiohead. I am a huge film and tb nerd and an even huge music nerd, Radiohead named themselves after a kinds bad Talking heads song for example. Death Note isn’t gonna be my thing cause I’m not very anime and what I do enjoy there is a bit eclectic and odd, my favorite animes are Nichijou, Kino’ Journey, Paranoia Agent, the first 3 seasons of Digimon and Medabots. As far as music goes, I’ve been deep into diy music since my early teens and still trade tapes etc. I know my weird music real well and radiohead don’t do much for me, also when you’re into music you go to shows and what is or was big affects who’s around, radiohead made for worse crowds.
Ok all else asside, based taste on these three.
Are you not Nichijou pilled? It’s uhhhhh…best description is Azumanaga meets Monty Python, Kino’s Journey is like a awrene version of Twilight Zone with an androgynous lead who has like 53 guns at all times and a talking motorcycle. But mostly get on Nichijou, it’s got the best vibe of anything, I guarantee you will become happy when watching. It’s a positive absurdist comedy sketch shown with continuity? Like if Camus wasn’t a bummer?
Yeah ive seen clips. Seems fun.
TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you’re good there
If you like them and RH, there’s a good chance you’d like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I’m getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.
I really like the wailing yeah haha. Thanks for the suggestion and the affirmation that TMBG are still good!
In the Court of the Crimson King is one of the albums tbh, most people will at least find it interesting.
Saying that, I really like King Crimson. I haven’t listened to every album yet, but I like Three of a Perfect Pair and THRAK quite a bit, despite them being albums that aren’t often talked about. I need to listen to Larks Tongues in Aspic, because I quite like parts III and IV from ToaPP and The Construkcion of Light.
Red is also a fantastic album!
In the Court is definitely way up there, especially if you just trim the improv part of Moonchild . . . . As you can probably tell from me going to Dinosaur immediately, I also really love THRAK (though a couple songs are dogshit, which is the case for most KC albums after the first). Larks Tongue is great, but now you’ve got me digging through their albums to remember stuff properly.
Wow, looks like they’ve made a lot of their EPs and live albums more available finally, but I only know like two of those. Regarding remaining albums: I loved Power to Believe, one of their better ones. Red is solid. Starless is just this side of being too croony, but I like it. Lizard is jank as hell but I like and respect it. In the Wake of Poseidon I could never get into, though it has a couple of good songs. Islands I just totally forgot about to a much deeper degree than the rest of these, though on reflection I think I still like it more than Poseidon. Construkction I just can’t stand, but I’m happy for you if you like it.
