Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

Yeah I listened to them all almost in order (Pablo honey was the only one I didn’t get contemporaneously and I bought it just after I got the bends). In Rainbows is my second favourite and I think it’s only a smidge off OK Computer with Kid A in 3rd...

Also you don’t need to be high to appreciate Kid A by a long stretch.

My next hot take. If you need to be high to think something is good it is isn’t, it’s shit, the drugs are good...

I didn’t say you had to be high to appreciate Kid A. Dude said it wasn’t clicking with him and sometimes people can come to hear things differently in an altered state of mind. I loved Kid A before I loved Kid A on LSD.

Sound like someone need to smoke a fattie and chill my dude! Or drink some whisky some refer to being drunk to being “stoned” as well if a recall correctly

Nah weed doesn’t agree with me, dabbled in uni but never since.

I’ll have a nice little tipple on Friday when I don’t have to be up the following morning....

Who refers to being drunk as being stoned? That’s a thing? Where? Weirdos...

Oh yeah that's a big red flag for me. Why I can't into Tool. Too many people telling me "you gotta get high first"

We can all agree that “Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To” is the best name for a “stoner album” (followed closely by “Dope Smoker” and “Dopethrone” respectively)

Also Druganaut is the best name for a “stoner song”

I am not saying they are the best of the stoner genre musically speaking just that they could not have come up with better names.

But have you ever listened to it...

Seriously, when this album came out it was my go to “gettin’ High” album some combination of weed or LSD. I think I still get almost a contact high when I hear the opening to “Everything In It’s Right Place”. I mean it’s a great album regardless but I did notice that a lot of my friends were much more receptive to it in an “altered state” than when they were stone sober.

I mean... I don’t do drugs so :/ I have listened to this album again and I think it’s doing a little more for me, but I still don’t see it as one of the greatest albums ever. I’d probably rank the Radiohead albums as:
1. OK Computer
2. In rainbows
3. The Bends
4. Moon Shaped Pool
5. Hail To the Thief
6. Kid A
7. Amnesiac
8. Pablo Honey
9. King of Limbs

5 and 6 are interchangeable I feel...
 
One of my favorite Lollapaloozas was 1992.

I saw Lush, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ice Cube and Ministry.

The Chili Peppers were the headliners and I have zero use for them so we left after Ministry. Stopped at a gas station a few miles away from the venue to discover Soundgarden inside buying King Dons and bootleg country cassettes. They were cool.

Even though I don't care for them I do feel sorry for the Chili Peppers having to follow Ministry every night on that tour - they were just ridiculously good.
 
It took me a few days and multiple attempts to make it through this and I am exhausted!
But I have a few thoughts that will probably be wildly unpopular:

1. Amnesiac >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kid A
2. Pablo Honey is not a Radiohead album, it's a greatest hits album from when they were called On A Friday
3. In the discussion of great female vocalists from the 80's it's sad that Taylor Dayne is so often overlooked
4. Jay-Z is a fabulous lyricist whose voice is painful to listen to
5. Speaking of Jay-Z, he only has one album I can listen to from start to finish (4:44)
6. Solange as a vocalist >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beyonce as a vocalist
7. Beyonce has one great album (Lemonade) among a legacy of albums that have great singles but are otherwise garbage
8. If we are going to call out Taylor Swift for her shenanigans like we did 20-30 pages ago, then we need to call out Beyonce as the woman hater that she actually is
9. Miles Davis is the least interesting thing about his records from 1970 forward

...that should be enough.
