To add / counter nowaypablo on Radiohead, I think the band is really good for me but not necessarily for everyone. Radiohead makes music that clicks with me, the last puzzle piece to complete my mind, so to speak. It makes sense on a deeper level. This is why a lot of fans reeeally want you to listen to it: if you get into it, there's so much fulfillment to get from their songs.

I went to Thom Yorke's concert last year and my god it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard. But I'm really sure that it's not for everyone and it took me really long to get into the band - Yorke always seems to balance between repulsive music and really great music. That being said, I recommend these songs, but don't expect to like them immediately.

Subterranean Homesick Alien. From their first big rock album, OK Computer. You've probably heard Karma Police or Creep, but I much prefer this song on the album.

Reckoner. Long high-pitched Yorke. Quite different from the first song, isn't it?

Go To Sleep. More upbeat. I personally love the opening guitars and the changing atmosphere 1:30 in. This is a great example of Thom only just singing good (to someone who isnt a fan), and distortions thrown in that might put ya off.

Little by Little - live from the Basement, from 43s on. I always swing with this version.

Give Up The Ghost, also live. A song for when I feel weak, when you want to give up.

Hope that's a good representation of the band. If there's a particular song you like, I can recommend more of that.

Also, pablo, AustinBrock is back online! Whoo!
