It's gotta be Rubber Soul. I'm confident that we haven't seen their Abbey Road yet That said, I'm done with the Beatles references.

Beatles references make the world go 'round

1/5/2008 1:01:20 PM

haha.... this could be a fun game

The Bends = Rubber Soul (the great departure from previous more generic/mainstream efforts and the sign of a legendary album to come)

OK Computer = Revolver (many feel it's both of their best works, but the entire catalog of both bands is so good that it's always open for debate)

Kid A/Amnesiac = The White Album ( 2 discs of brilliance and quirkyness perfectly blended over 2 CD's)

Hail To The Thief = Sgt. Peppers

In Rainbows = Abbey Road

"Hail To The Thief = Sgt. Peppers"

1/5/2008 2:02:02 PM

^ yeah, that's a major major stretch... Sgt. Pepper's was a landmark, milestone album. Hail to the Thief was the sound of a great band being bored as hell.

1/5/2008 3:13:41 PM

i think kid a is radiohead's most "landmark" album

1/5/2008 3:43:00 PM

i think radiohead aren't the beatles, so it's stupid to pretend they are

1/5/2008 3:47:37 PM

yeah definitely

1/5/2008 3:51:18 PM

^^ I agree, although Thom started it by saying that "In Rainbows" is Radiohead's "Revolver." I was surprised to hear him publicly state such comparisons

1/5/2008 4:07:55 PM

well, it's one thing to say that this was intended to be their chef d'oeuvre

it's quite another to try to align radiohead's entire catalog with the beatles' -- especially if you're saying hail to the thief was somehow as significant as sgt. pepper's

1/5/2008 4:29:55 PM

Oh hell no, HTTT is no where near Sgt. Peppers.... which is why I stopped the descriptions. I'm not sure what I would compare HTTT to realistically. Maybe "Let it Be" because it wasn't their strongest effort, but still far superior to most and certainly better than their early material (Pablo Honey).

1/5/2008 5:06:58 PM

don't compare it to anything, that's the point

1/5/2008 5:08:58 PM

I don't think most folks were taking it that seriously... I know I sure didn't mean it that way.

The catalyst of the conversaion was Radiohead comparing their own album to a Beatles record.

its cute that this spawned an argument

lighten up people - everything ties back to Beatles albums

1/5/2008 10:17:28 PM

ha yeah i didn't think that article would get THIS much discussion

I just got this email as well, RawWulf---- crazy, isn't it?

They've NEVER toured so close by. Start saving up, 'cause this one will cost some $$$. Damn ticketbrokers.

schwing

1/9/2008 11:39:33 AM

I'm so stoked because Charlotte is 1.5 hours from Columbia, and Atlanta is 3 hours from Columbia. So, provided I can score tickets, it looks like I'll be seeing Radiohead twice this spring/ summer!

1/9/2008 12:06:18 PM

how much do you think the tickets will go for?

1/9/2008 12:17:42 PM

at least 40 or 50

1/9/2008 12:20:13 PM

^^ The ones I bought for the Paris show were around 80 after handling fees, etc. so I'd expect about the same for the US shows. I may have to buy one for Charlotte too.

1/9/2008 12:44:10 PM

omg

1/9/2008 12:51:24 PM

1/9/2008 12:54:23 PM

1/9/2008 1:11:50 PM

i hope they play the same general admission venue here in SD... last time my friend was in a wheelchair so we were stuck in the handicapped section.... this time i'll be front row.

1/9/2008 1:14:22 PM

1/9/2008 1:23:23 PM

"how much do you think the tickets will go for?"

Depends....

When I had tickets to the Bull Run show, it was over 2 days. First day tickets weren't bad and I think around 40 after fees, and then we had to scalp tickets to day 2 for $100. Unfortunately, both days were rained out. We got our money back for day 1, but were fucked on day 2.

When I went to the shows in Columbia, Maryland for Hail To The Thief, they were about the same and we had no issues getting tickets.

Last summer (June 2006), I went to Philly to see them play at the Tower Theatre. They were performing the material that appeared on In Rainbows and more. The venue was only about 4,500 seats. We had the pre-sale code, 3 computer's going and still didn't get tickets. It was like the Smashing Pumpkins shit this summer. We ended up having to pay around $200 a piece to see them, but, it was worth it to me to be able to see them in such a small venue.

1/9/2008 7:40:21 PM

I will be there 110%

just bought the new album, can't wait to pop it in tomorrow

1/9/2008 7:53:53 PM
