even if you do "see it as angsty" you cant base one band off one song in a catalog like radiohead has. what about songs from kid a? amnesiac? hell, you couldd call any band "angsty" by your logic. every band has a song that can be misconstrued as angsty. I'm not basing one band off of one song. Someone said "They have NEVER done anything remotely near angst." So if there's ONE SONG that can be seen as an angst filled song then NEVER would obviously be incorrect. he said they have never BEEN ABOUT ANGST. not "they've never done a song that sounded angsty to someone who probably only knows what they play on the radio" on to more taking things out of context. Faith No More "Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark" angsty

A song about a relationship is teenage angst? Good Christ! Now it's clear, Roy Orbison is FULL of angst.

So what if Faith No More or The Beatles have angsty songs? We're talking about Radiohead who you said isn't angsty. lildude has already proved you wrong.
Make sense?

"Never been about angst" "never did a song with angst" it's the same thing because they're a BAND. they write songs....so them "BEING" would be producing music. And yes, I only know what they play on the radio. That's why I have them in my CD collection right now. Good call. Just wanted to see that straight. Now I'm officially done.

Now I'm officially done. yes... i was sad once and wrote a song about how shitty i felt... even though my other songs are about wacky stuff and stupidity... i'm definately about angst... i'm an angsty teenager... we're obviously going to just keep going in circles... you cant use logic against circular logic. eff it

Again, mis-reading. I clearly said teenage angst.

What's the deal with Radiohead anyways? Is there actually a guy with a radio on his head? Does he have a boom box or XM Radio? Which is it?

It's the name of a Talking Heads song.

You'd think for such a "deep" band they would have a deeper meaning for their band name.

What makes a band...."deep" exactly?

I normally don't click on threads involving bands I don't listen to... but I was interested in getting some more information on this album (ie: if a retail copy would ever be available... basically "how free is it REALLY" questions)
Anyway... it's nice to know that bitchfests aren't all-inclusive to metal threads.
Seems everybody hates differences in opinion.

Did we just have a two page argument about if Radiohead is "angsty' or not?
Ok, just checking.
Anyways..angst or not I find them to be terrific songwriters.
Like I said earlier...one of the few bands who actually write and make ALBUMS as complete pieces of music instead of most bands putting together a bunch of individual tracks.
I'm unconcerned that some people don't like them..a little amused that some of the people who don't like them actually concern themselves with the people who do.

No, Biafra... I expressed an opinion on a message board... clearly I'm an idiot. I'm a little confused..I wasn't being sarcastic towards you. Just the opposite.

Nah, that wasn't supposed to be directed to you. I'm just talking about how all opinions on message boards are deemed wrong by everyone else. As if someone out there actually goes through heart attack inducing agony just because someone may or may not like Radiohead or anything else on this earth.

As if someone out there actually goes through heart attack inducing agony just because someone may or may not like Radiohead or anything else on this earth. That's true too. I mean..I have no problem with someone coming in and stating they don't like a band or whatever else it may be..but what gets me is when those people who actually argue with what someone else likes...(and you're right..the people who want to argue with anyone with a legitimate contrary opinion as well.) I really dislike ICP, Kottonmouth King's etc etc...and I reserve the right to state that opinion. I don't have the time nor inclination to argue with or have the least problem with those who do. I guess I can't see how anyone else could have that much of an issue with another persons taste.
