Michael Boo Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I'm about to turn 50. Who is this Radiohead of whom you speak? I'm assuming a rock band...but what makes them field-transferrable? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Tan Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Actually, they're not transferable. At all. Not conventionally. Radiohead is a progressive rock band from Oxford. They hit it big in '93 with "Creep," a.k.a. That Song With The CHA-CHUNK Sound. Their 1997 album OK Computer is called the album of the 90s much as DSotM is of the 70s, indeed, they're a lot like Pink Floyd, whose music has been done by corps, I believe. Anyway, their earliest work was mundane, Nirvana-meets-the-Smiths, but they've grown to incorporate Brian Eno, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, et al. They're best described as rock tinged with jazz and vintage electronics. Songs that could make the field: "The National Anthem" tell me you can't imagine the big Mingus-style breakdown "Idioteque" because it would be so unorthodox to import a techno song into drum corps, and challenging to do it with the instruments. It's been covered by a string quartet, so why not? "Sit down. Stand up." might work, but the raindrops part might need rearranging. "Kid A" is tempting for a pit feature. "Paranoid Android" that section in 7/8 is gonna score with the judges "Let Down" meh I dunno, it's pretty "Fake Plastic Trees" prettier "No Surprises" sad song "Exit Music" sadder "Life in a Glass House" is the only way it can end. So hard to choose! but search for those songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsar Nikk Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Not to rain on your parade, but I think Nevermind will go down as the album of the 90's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not by anyone who actually knows their music. :P Actually, "The Bends" is a better album than "OK Computer," and I would put that one as one of the most important albums of the 1990s.

Studio Tan Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) OKC and The Bends both trump Nevermind. Everyone jumps on OKC as bing Album Of The 90s, because it's all about struggling with technology, blah blah blah. And also, Radiohead comprises better musicians than Nirvana does. Oh I got one: "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box" would make a cool drum feature. Edited September 7, 2005 by Studio Tan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlooooContra Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I've said this every year since 2001. :) I'm glad people agree. My ideal 2006 Bluecoats show Idiotheque Paranoid Android Exit Music The National Anthem Absolutely perfect for the modern Bluecoats. Anybody heard the Christopher O'Riley Radiohead piano album?

Studio Tan Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) Listen to it all the time, man. I love what he does with Knives Out. It's like...elegaic. It's not an album track, but a few bars of Where Bluebirds Fly could be a cool opener. Edited September 7, 2005 by Studio Tan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
