the radiohead song isn't a rip-off but it is definitely similar with the bassline. they definitely listened to roygbiv and were inspired by it. it's not like it's some huge coincidence or something
There are TONS of songs that use similar sounding/textured analog bass lines. To say that that "All I Need" is a rip-off of "RoyGBiv" is asinine. And even if it was influenced by it, which I sorta doubt it is, why is that a bad thing?
haha that's the biggest bullshit I've heard about Radiohead. Go and play a bassline, reverse it and see how much like Roygbiv it sounds. (I've ended up with it...) plus the Roygbiv tune has more of a direction and a proper ending to the phrase, whereas "All I Need" is more of a lo-fi happening in the background, just ambling along to his voice. they're both good, go and complain about coldplay if this sort of argument gets you going...Radiohead don't deserve hate (hah ok the drums are similar)
'All I Need', as well as other parts of In Rainbows were definitely influenced by Boards of Canada. They didn't rip off BOC though, I'm sure BOC is flattered! Wouldn't you be?
I added this video to my favorites because I wish I still had that many friends to session with. Word of advice. Don't let your friends quit skating because when your 23 you'll only have one that still does.
i think roygbiv would go better to skiing/snowboarding. seems more relaxed than skating. and yes i skate and ski and ride (and surf and...)
but yea, i've always though a snow part would be such a good fit with this song

The radiohead song sounds absolutely nothing like this. So there's a baseline, and a hip hop beat.
I love BoC, and I love Radiohead. But to say radiohead ripped this song off is just ridiculous.

Actually, BoC has refused to work with Thom Yorke, if anything, they're pissed off.
