Putting aside who gives a good goddamn whether music is "instinctual" or not, I don't see how the most casual of listens to TDSOTM reveals a record made by people who threw ideas against the wall to see what would stick.

it's just, how do you call a band that released multiple overaching thematic concept albums "instinctual"

I actually think this has some really good background info on how DSotM was created, especially re the making of "Money", despite being a VH1 special: http://youtu.be/GLqkwGfwajs

david gilmour vocoder segments were a real neat idea then
floyd had less quality-control imo, but their best moments were wide-eyed psych genius. sorry for treading on y'all toes. out

Number of Radiohead recordings I own = 1 (no points for guessing it's "Creep")Number of Floyd recordings I own = ALL THE PINK FLOYDS
Wait, I think I have an mp3 of "Anyone Can Play Guitar" on my hard drive somewhere.

oh, back for one last thing -
radiohead would never have had the lack of self-consciousness to knock out something so stupidly brilliant as 'corporal clegg' or 'the trial'
hope this clarifies my position re: adoring a lot of Floyd but reckoning them to have a looser grasp on their art (especially as art) than 'everything in its right place' radiohead

we get it, you think Radiohead is really smart. for some reason.

The only time Radiohead ever sounded anything LIKE Pink Floyd to me was on 'Subterranean Homesick Alien'... and possibly 'How To Disappear Completely', but that's about it.
Lucky sounds very PFish to me - guitar solo even has a bit of Gilmour about it.

as much as I love Barrett-era Floyd Radiohead have more albums I'm going to listen to again than Pink Floyd do so it's Radiohead for me

Oh wait "High and Dry" is also a good song. And that one with the video where all the people lay down in the street. I think that's it, though.

The Bends kinda sounds like "Fearless" from Meddle.
― lazyitis, Thursday, 24 January 2013 04:29 (eleven years ago) link
Do you mean the song or the album? I think the song "The Bends" sounds like a lot of anthemic rock music from the 20 years that precede it and really has more in common with other British rock of the same time than it does with "Fearless". It would never occur to me to compare it to "Fearless" instead of, say, "Live Forever" by Oasis. I can see it a little with "Lucky" but really, "How to Disappear Completely" is the only song that made me think of Pink Floyd in the way that, say, the White Stripes make me think of Zeppelin or the Stones at times.

I hated HATED floyd in the '80s or whenever my human memories started kicking in, and now I quite like a few albums (dsotm has only just grown on me this week, after decades of trying). based on that ridiculously long slow burn, I'm taking floyd over radiohead.
― resultant curry paste (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 January 2013 06:56 (eleven years ago) link
btw I'm convinced the fact that a shitty local radio station played floyd NON STOP for something like 10 years had something to do with my earlier hatred. it's near impossible to enjoy anything when it's rammed down your throat to that degree.

I've got no beef with radiohead, but pink floyd rules, so this isn't really any kind of contest at all.

huh, Dark Side vs OKC is basically Clash of the Serious Bullshit Titans im humble o, but AA's testimony has made me rethink. fwiw, the instrumental tracks + Us and Them are p much amongst the scarce redeemable tracks from post-Meddle Floyd.
