[2019.06.08 - Etihad Stadium, Manchester, UK]

So the weather for the Saturday is looking pretty bad in Mancland.

I’m beginning to wonder just how bad it would need to be for them to call it off on the grounds of either health and safety or damaging equipment. 

Does the Etihad Stadium’s roof close?

The Bends

In Rainbows

Black Holes & Revalations

Showbiz

Pablo Honey

KID A

Hail To The Thief

Amnesiac

 

Yeah, that's right, I prefer Pablo Honey and Black Holes & Revelations to Kid A. Idioteque, Everything In It's Right Place, and How To Disappear... rule but everything elsee is art for art's sake electronic white noise to me. Hail To The Thief, again, has a handful of decent tunes such as A Wolf At The Door and Myxomatosis. From Amnesiac I can only really enjoy Knives Out, but it's one of my favorite Radiohead tracks.

 

I really quite like Pablo Honey.

 

I much preferred Radiohead back when they where a true alternative rock band, or at least back when 'rock' was the operative word.

Exo-Politics is an OK song.

 

I agree.

I think SHA is actually a "Musey" sounding song. In a good way.

 

If that makes sense.

 

Yeah. Electioneering (which I happen to be listening to right now) even more so.

HTDC, YAWA, Exit Music, Fog, Pyramid Song, Street Spirit... I could go on.

 

Fake Plastic Trees, Idioteque, 15 Step, I Will, Subterranean Homestck Alien, Knives Out....

 

There's large swathes of Radiohead that does nothing for me though, I have to admit. I prefer Muse to them because of this; there's only about 5 or 10 Muse songs I don't like. I'm just a sucker for a nice, accessible pop melody I think .

 

Edit: that plus monster riffs and drama, the former at least, Radiohead don't share my love of.

 

Another Edit: Anyone share my opinion that Radiohead + Rage Against The Machine (whom I also love) + Rachmaninov = Origin of Symmetry?

RE: the talk of them splitting up, I actually think the opposite. I think they're going to make album after album after album and run the whole thing into the ground long after the magic has disappeared.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Just now, Uprising. Uprising doesn't get enough love! Always makes me feel good. The message is serious but the music is quirky and upbeat, funny even (Pythonesque:D). Love it.

 

Uprising is my favourite poppy Muse single.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Most of BH&R, Specifically Map of the Problematique, City of Delusion, Hoodoo and Take a Bow.

United States of Eurasia

 

Space Dementia

 

Eternally Missed

 

House of The Rising Sun
