Origin of Symmetry is a great album. They should have given up after that.

Sunburn was okay too. Post these; they simply became a parody, and should have long since thrown it in....

Sunburn was a single from the first album, called Showbiz. I think the first 3 albums are terrific, but they lost their way spectacularly after that. Shame, because they’re a brilliant live band. Their Glastonbury set in 2004 is still probably the best thing I’ve ever been to.

He's terrible.
Though I think most recognise that already.

I think that the 8.8 million people who saw him on his last tour don't.

As i always say to my mates if everyone liked the same sort of music their would be 3 bands on the radio and it would be poo poo.

As i've posted on the other thread RadioHead (Thom Yorke sounds like he's having a tooth pulled when he sings) Pink Floyd (self indulgent bollocks).

On an aside I had a barman in my local who refused to serve me cos of my opinions about Radiohead. His rationale was that they're all technically brilliant musicians mine was they may well be but they can't write songs and TY can't sing apart from that they're brilliant.

Whilst I respect your opinion may I question that they can't write songs. Have you missed the number of hits they have had, the numbers that they sold in and the success of such chart positions?

Don't blame yourself, with only the limited information available from his 20 plus years posting on here it was impossible to forsee it not working out too well.

Interesting stuff.

We all have different musical tastes so we conflict each other.

Only the greatest guitarist ever, Ron... unless you can put someone superior forward

Appreciate you may not dig his music/tunes though of course..

Back in their time they achieved mediocre record sales and played at mid-size venues. They were a reasonably successful niche indie act.

But since they split their legend has grown our of all proportion. They're often referred to as an iconic, era-defining band, despite being nothing of the sort when they were around. And (whisper it) Morrissey's best and most interesting work has been in his solo years, while the others have achieved nothing of note (Marr has had a few okay collaborations, but that's about it).
