Someone redpill me on radiohead. Is their music pretentious garbage or works of genius? My wife recently told me they seriously suck and that thom yorke sounds like a whale most of the time. While I don't normally allow other people's opinion affect my own tastes, I am very damn passionate about Radiohead and it kind of hurt when she told me my taste in music was shit. These are my top favorite albums by Radiohead all of which my wife has listened to with me.
1. kid a
2. hail to the thief
3. in rainbows
4. ok computer.

does her son like them, at least?
>>64714968
A wife is a good thing to have sex with, not to share opinions.
>>64714968
so your pleb wife doesn't listen to field recordings of whale noises? divorce her!
>>64714987
Why did I know this was going to be the first post ITT
>>64714987
underrated desu senpai.
>>64714987
thank you
>>64714997
Sometimes it would be nice to have at least one thing we could have intelligent conversations about.
>>64714968
I don't like Thom Yourke's voice, it's the reason I don't listen to radiohead. He doesn't really have any force behind his voice
>>64715050
Im not a huge fan of his voice but I find it compliments the music in most cases. Im more into the musical composition.

Somebody's looking for a divorce

>thom yorke sounds like a whale most of the time
This may be the single best sentence fragment I have ever seen on /mu/. Tell your wife that I love her.
>>64714968
it's music that's as apathetic and devoid of energy as possible
it's the sound of weakness
I can't fault your wife for thinking it's garbage
>>64715071
Yeah I do agree with that, just not for me I guess. I prefer singers like Cedrix Bixler Zavala (from The Mars Volta)
>>64715103
I appreciate the opinion. Don't know if serious. If you are serious how is national anthem, one of my favorite songs, void of energy. This song can get me excited no matter what mood I am in.
>>64714968
also to add to the argument my wife says you can not appreciate music if you ignore the vocals. Is this true?
>>64714968
Divorce her.
>>64715495
I'm srs. If she can't at least pretend to like it for you and spare your feelings she's a skank who needs to go.
>>64714968
>being this sensitive and insecure
>>64715519
>I'm srs.
>That post
r u srs
>>64715519
yeah she pretty much hates all of my interests. This one was sort of the last straw for me because music affects me so much emotionally. I just wanted her to feel what i felt while listening to radiohead. I guess you can't expect that of people though, everyone has their own tastes.
>>64715537
I mean im not wrecked over it but she couldn't offer me a valid reason why they suck. It also kind of sucks when you can't connect with the person you love especially when you don't have anyone else you can talk to.
>>64715558
>>64715594
jesus dude if she's shitting over everything you hold dear to yourself you should talk to her about this
that sounds abusive
>>64714968
>Is their music pretentious garbage or works of genius
Neither. It's boring arena rock disguised as art rock.
>>64716185
interesting, can you suggest some rock music that isn't boring that may interest me. I am being legit here I respect anyones opinion.
>>64715921
Meh she doesn't care so its not worth talking to her about it. I don't feel its abusive she has physically abused me in the past though.
>>64714997
At least a wife has the sex part going for her. Can't say the same for most of /mu/
>>64715043
if you genuinely like radiohead, your wife is more patrician than you. i bet she wishes she didnt have to go to bed with such a fucking idiot every night
>>64716293
>>64716522
can you suggest me some patrician tier music please? Dead serious.
>>64716234
Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr
>>64717115
i feel like I've heard dinosaur jr. before. Sounds nostalgic as fuck even though I never heard of them.
>wife
>opinion on music
you're doing it wrong senpai, buy her that adele cd and don't bring it up again
>>64714968
My top 5 Radiohead albums are
1. Amnesiac.
2. Kid A
3. In Rainbows
4. OK Computer.
5. AMSP
I like most of their discography, can't fucking stand Pablo Honey though.

>they seriously suck
they seriously suck.
this generation is too close to it. You know how lots of people look back on the Doors and say they suck? it will be like that when everyone looks back on them. RDJ is right, they are cheesy as fuck. Thom isn't a good singer.
>>64715043
wow way to trash your wife
>>64714997
t. a perpetually lonely virgin
>>64716234
Interpols turn on the bright lights
Anything by arcade fire
DAE le red pill XD
>>64716293
>she has physically abused me in the past though.
no wonder you like radiohead, you are a bitch.
radiohead seriously suck.
>>64714968
Just out of curiosity, what are your wife's favorite artists?
>>64717465
t. a perpetually lonely virgin
>>64714968
Who cares? Not everybody likes what you like. You don't see me getting butthurt when my gf calls aphex twin annoying robot music.
>>64714968
your wife probably looks like a whale most of the time
>>64716293
This is bait now
Listening to a Radiohead album gives me the same satisfaction as reading a good novel. Women listen to music so they can shake their asses at parties or they follow BIG EGOS AND PERSONALITIES they can rub their vaginas to.
>>64717422
Is RDJ Robert Downey Junior?
>le xd funny manlet
>le smarmy quip
>le capeshit
>le relevant opinions
>>64717541
Radiohead are infinitely better than both of those bands.
>>64715103

Berate her and threat to leave her until she is ready to sing True Love Waits.
