Radiohead read on


Ok they are a rock band and with OK computer they won lots of critical fame. But with kidA and amnesiac they have created truely great albums. I think that they have recorded these albums in new and inventive ways and the sound quality or misuse of it is amazing. They have also pushed the musical boundries with the content and delivery of their music. I should also state that I am not such a big rock music fan but these albums are emotional inventive and intoxicating and force me to want to listen. What do you think?

The Beatles pretty much did not release something if they weren't sure about the quality.  If you listen to the non-released tracks on the Anthology series there are good tracks (and one or two bad ones) that aren't quite up to their standard.  One that comes to mind is George's "Not Guilty."  Then there's one or two that just aren't very good, such as "That Means A Lot."  Finally, they re-did some tracks after they were finished the first time.  The first version was better than most other groups of the time were capable of, but the second versions were a step up from the first (Ob-la-di and Norwegian Wood, for example).
I've heard quite a bit of Radiohead but need to acquire some on CD to give a really serious listen.  I'm very impressed with what I've seen and heard.  I think I missed the boat on these guys long ago.
You guys almost make me want to dig out my old DBX 119 expansion/compression unit and put it into the system (assuming it still works).
