Hahaha, love the ending

"Well, that's enough of that miserable crap"

Self deprecating humour is a great way to show you have some earth in you.

FACT: Once you've experienced Radiohead AT ITS FINEST, you will never dare mention Coldplay or Muse alongside with them EVER AGAIN. keep diggin. one day, you'll get it. :)

@butterflycaught900 I've seen this written a few times, but how did they copy Aphex Twin? To be honest Aphex Twin didn't create electronic music either. Everything In Its Right Place is played on a Rhodes Piano with effects of course, Idioteque is a beat over a Paul Lansky sample, the rest of the album is hardly electronic. What it is is a great fusion of different styles and instruments.

@manifesto2300 i kinda thought they just copied Aphex Twin with Kid A

[manifesto2300]

@butterflycaught900 Radiohead ushered in electronic-indie music with Kid A

[butterflycaught900]

@Lateralus347 yes, i am implying that! there's so much electronic music these days i actually find it refreshing to hear bands that sound like bands.

@butterflycaught900 >implying guitar-based music isn't dated as fuck

[SuperiFox]

@butterflycaught900 Well, i guess we've hit the end point, where we're now talking about each other's individual tastes, which won't really change. Nice talking with you.

[SuperiFox]

@butterflycaught900 It's not dated though (And arguably it's been going on since the late 50's.) There are so many different genres, sounds, styles, sub-genres... so much difference. It's a place full of rich creative opportunity. Where, on the other hand, guitars can only do so much compared to synthesizers in terms of different sounds achievable. Rock instruments are almost up, electronic instruments are the tip of the iceberg.

[butterflycaught900]

@SuperiFox that's the thing about electronic music. everyone's doing it now and has been for 10 years. honestly it sounds dated. it would be refreshing to hear some guitar. radiohead are 5 brilliant instrumentalists and they wasted their talents by pushing the aside in favor of some scratches and bleeps

[SuperiFox]

@butterflycaught900 ...in the past was kinda rude of me, so sorry.)

[SuperiFox]

@butterflycaught900 And i think it does. The songs themselves have good structure, good lyrics, classic radiohead melody, etc. Imo, the only real difference from classic radiohead and tkol radiohead is the instruments. And these new instruments/sounds, like the glitchy drumming loops, or those flugelhorns, they're great imo. Personally, i'm kinda sick of the past, where all the bands had gutiar, bass, and drums. I'm a fan of electronic music, and it's possibilities. (BTW saying you were stuck...
