OP
Creep was the second song I heard by Radiohead. The first was Stop Whispering. I was 9 when Pablo Honey came out. My sister had the CD.
It's funny that you have mentioned both Radiohead Creep and Portishead in here. My current girlfriend does acoustic covers of both Creep and Sour Times at most of her shows, alongside some original stuff.

And i remember it like today how i couldn't understand what i was listening when it first came out. That album was so impressive it was a shock to my ears. That's cool to know. I'd like to hear that. Do you have a link or stmg?
I'm back in business. Got a couple of gigs to play in the weekend, mostly cover songs. I was a whore musician for the longest time, you know, the pay me and i'll play whatever type? But I got my own stuff as well.
Indie is really such a vague term that encompasses such a massive array of genres now, it's really just a sound, a style, and more refers to music (of any sort) that a certain type of people listen to. I'd much prefer music being labelled as what it is. Like you say: synthpop; electropop; chillwave; no wave; shoegaze; dream pop; post punk; and so on. It was a similar thing with alternative music in the 90s, although nowhere near as pervasive.
to Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte. Blink-182, Sum-41, Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy, Paramore. And so many other pop punk bands for that matter. So bad.
What did you make of the "punk is/is not dead" debate? I was always on the "is not" side, but that it was just a matter of not enough people being educated what it really is.
I still have my 97' Ok Computer CD in excellent condition. And i remember it like today how i couldn't understand what i was listening when it first came out. That album was so impressive it was a shock to my ears.

Didn't think it should have been worthy of being one of the best albums of the year... but little countered it.
OP
I remember when OK Computer came out, thinking that it was one of the best albums that year. But that fact in itself had done more to suggest that music had gone to shit from a few years prior.

They're both groundbreaking records to their own merit. One could say Ok Computer brought back the idea of concept in music, Kid A showed that there was life post-rock.
I remember an old interview from Ok Computer's tour when somebody asks Yorke what he thinks of all the copycats trying to dub their sound and he says something like "Good luck trying that with our next album".
It instantly reminded me of Paul McCartney's classic interview from months before Sgt. Peppers was released, the interviewer asks why they haven't played a show in so long and insinuates they've run out of ideas, he calmly says "You just wait."

Yea great performance. Interestingly i heard that at a concert backstage i cant remember who was playing but Elliott Smith by himself moping around and also there were the members of other bands including Radiohead and even the likes of Thom Yorke were like wow its Elliott Smith people were in awe of him yet I don't think he ever realised how good he was and i agree with his death it seems so suspicious how he cud run into a door to push a knife into his chest twice while having a heated argument with his girlfriend.
Fake Plastic Trees is my favourite Radiohead song. They must of met some creepy dude at that concert.

I also prefer Kid A.
Can't believe this is turning 20 years old in 2 months. I had heard Creep before but this was what got me into the band in 95'. It's funny how many bands tried to sound like it afterwards, copycats were everywhere.
An interesting curiosity; It is said that Fake Plastic Trees was written after seeing a Jeff Buckley concert.

OP
I remember his performance at the Oscars, how nervous and out of place he looked. Yet he put on a magical performance with Miss Misery. He was truly talented. He always reminded me of some of George Harrison's solo stuff.
During the recording sessions for The Bends in 1994, the band watched Jeff Buckley in concert; Thom later said Buckley had a direct effect on his vocal delivery for “Fake Plastic Trees.
When they returned to the studio mesmerized by Buckley's set, Yorke sang the song twice before breaking down into tears
To each his own
Interesting stuff about the song i assumed it was about a guy who was in love with a blow up sex doll i would love to know how the Jeff Buckley performance inspired Thom as i am also Jeff Buckley fan and can't see were he would get it from

That album was at their absolute peak, though it borrowed from many of the great EPs that preceded it.
I confess that I was not as convinced by their recent m b v release, despite Kevin Shields' legendary perfectionism. Isn't Anything isn't bad either, but an evolving step in their sound. But Kevin Shields did great things for the Lost in Translation soundtrack, IMO.
