No true Radiohead fan would think that they were "just" Radiohead.

[mrtourette]

Such a concept is offensive to the insufferable hordes.

[T-Mouse]

The masterplan

Definitely Maybe

Whats the story morning glory

Dont believe the truth

Be here now

Heathen Chemistry

Dig out your soul

Standing on the shoulders of giants

[mrtourette]

I wonder if Radiohead release a rarities and b-sides album whether it will go straight to the top of the real fan's favourite list.

Saying that as long at is has Banana Co it would be instantly better than the last several years worth of shit.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I would have to say "The Best of Radiohead".

[brettredmayne]

Hope the muse set gets better then what they played last night 

[russycarps]

Really?

I struggle to see how anyone who was to take the time to examine their output could fail to admire them, even though they may not particularly like their style of music. Radiohead are, unquestionably, an incredibly capable group of musicians and songwriters. And like them 'though I undoubtedly do, I'm not a mega-fan, nor do they mean as much to me as they do to many others on here and elsewhere, or as much to me as many other bands over the years.

As I said, I wouldn't be so arrogant as to deny an individual their right not to like a band's music but, assuming that, say, In Rainbows is included in your 'last several years' worth of shit', then I'm not sure you have much aptitude in assessing the quality of music, notwithstanding your like or dislike thereof. I'm not angling for a fight, it's just that your comment, to me at least, holds no credibility! There are plenty of artists whose music I don't like very much, yet I can appreciate that they're not crap, in contrast to those who I despise, partly because they are crap. And before we open the old 'quality of music is purely subjective' can of worms, let's be clear - it's not. Crap is crap, no matter how many people appear to like it.

A complete substitution of songs played and band members playing them should have a salutary effect on the gig.

Nicely put Ben.

Also Mr Tourette clearly rates Pablo Honey ahead of In Rainbows. Each to their own.

[DomDom1984]

Aye, nicely put, outside of being big headed arrogant shite.

And a nicely put counter-argument, Dom.

I'm glad we had this chance to talk. It's been enlightening.

Just looked at it and laughed out loud. It's hilariously bad and I'm a fan of Muse.

 

Positives:

Apocalypse Please is being played

Negatives:

7 songs from Drones

Starlight

Songs from The Resistance that aren't MK Ultra or United States of Eurasia are being played

Man With a Harmonica intro to Knights is still a thing

One part of the encore consists solely of The Globalist

[Alan_C]

Definitely Maybe

The Masterplan (can't really include though)

WTSMG

Be Here Now

Dig Out Your Soul

Don't Believe The Truth

Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants

Heathen Chemistry

I must be fat, bald, 40, throw piss at people and now follow Catfish and the Bottlemen surely.

[Mash011]

Jesus imagine sitting through The Globalist live. It's bad enough on the album but I bet that crowd is bored to tears. I was thinking I'd see muse but if they keep playing sets as rancid as that I'll pass.

[russycarps]

Fuckin in the bushes is the only oasis song that hasnt aged horrendously. And even that's pretty shit.

Wonderwall's a horrendous song, but it hasn't aged.

[blue6field]

Those muse set lists look horrific

Nothing Muse do disappoints me anymore.
