Batman Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 it sort of upsets me to know that there's great music like this being made all over the world and i'm never going to hear 99% of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 You're so right Batman! There are myriad talented artists who will struggle in obscurity because they don't have anyone to effectively market them. Without a record contract, they will never attract a mainstream audience. Thank goodness for YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 And even if they were famous we would never have enough time to know them all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Wow, that video is pretty cool, I'm gonna try learn how to do that!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 The music isn't new, but the style is certainly different. That guy is talented! Plus that's my kind of music! Thanks Batman. You could spend a lifetime searching and never hear all there is to offer. I guess that's what we are all doing here, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 ^ I'd agree with you. But I tend to be close-minded about modern music, since the majority of it that I have heard is absolutely s##t IMO. So I want to be able to find some good modern bands. Ones that I would like enough to buy their Cd's, such as Muse. I have 3 of their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 no offence, but Muse really don't have that "one in a million" sound if you really like them then there are probably dozens of others who you could like too - if you'd gave them a chance...

Floydaholic Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Name a few then please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 If you like Muse, perhaps you like The Kasabian, The Strokes, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, The Vines, The Hives, The Killers, Jet, Death Cab For Cutie, The Fratellis (I think of Sue and Rach now),Keane, The Thrills, Razorlight, perhaps the likes of Green Day, hopefully the White Stripes, and maybe something like Weezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Not to mention that, as much as I like Muse, they are extremely derivative of Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 But how is Muse a one-in-a-million band if they're just a louder version of Radiohead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 so it's settled, radiohead is the best band ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) haha, i would say that early muse is just radiohead without the musical genius. but i think by now they've developed their own style, and have grown out of the "radiohead wannabe" tag. hey, but if you like muse, chances are you like pop music that's really over the top, so try this song by Mika (you've probably heard it already). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzA0nG_PurQ although i suppose he sounds nothing like muse. and of course, any self-respecting floydaholic must listen to radiohead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsxMXo0FaKA radiohead and pink floyd go together like peanut butter and jelly Edited June 19, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 why does every thread i post in end up with me telling people to listen to radiohead? floydaholics also seem to like explosions in the sky, and godspeed you black emperor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 but that was exactly the point! If you like Muse then you could like some of these bands too, for exactly the reason that they sound a bit alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 But you named alot of bands that I have heard of, and I think that Muse are superior to those bands, such as Kaiser Chiefs, Green Day, White Stripes, Killers and Franz Ferdinand. Don't get me wrong, they are good, but I don't think they're amazing. I think that Muse are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 why does every thread i post in end up with me telling people to listen to radiohead? floydaholics also seem to like explosions in the sky, and godspeed you black emperor I will have a listen to Radiohead when I get the time, if it will put your mind at rest. If it turns out that I think they are really good, what albums would you recommend by them??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Go for Kid A to start...its really good. I just started listening to Radiohead not too long ago, also on a recommendation from Batman and I am also a huge Pink Floyd fan. I would recommend Radiohead to anyone that considers themselves a Floydaholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hmmm, I'd reccomend "The Bends" as Radiohead's most accessible album. It was my favorite for a long time. "OK Computer" probably has the most Pink Floyd influence. And "Kid A" is probably the best, and easily the most innovative and creative, but I'm not sure how great a starting place it is. It's quite difficult to get into. Another thing to keep in mind is that like Pink Floyd, Radiohead albums must be listened to all the way through.

daslied Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 As a longtime fan I agree with Batman. "The Bends" is incredible, and it's more accesible, being a guitar-driven album. "OK Computer" is somewhere in the middle between "The Bends" and "Kid A" - lots of guitars, but a little more experimental. Definitely do them in that order - "The Bends", "OK" and "Kid A" - just to see the growth. I actually prefer "Amnesiac" to "Kid A", but they're both great. They were recorded at the same time, hence versions of "Morning Bell" on each. The songs on each have a different overall effect while still being placed together well.

Floydaholic Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will try and get a hold of them as soon as I can. When were they around??. Most of the time I always listen to an album the whole way through, even if it's not a Pink Floyd album. I think that in modern times that many artists have albums which are promoted by 2 top singles or something like that. But back in the day, bands made albums, not for songs, but for albums. At least, in what I know, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 When were they around? I'm not sure what you mean... Radiohead is still around... they're currently (ie since 2005) working on their seventh album the other albums mentioned here were The Bends - 1995 OK Computer - 1997 (my personal favourite btw) Kid A - 2000 Amnesiac - 2001 did I forget anything?
