looooool

Z S.

there are times when i have listened to radiohead more than kraftwerk and vice versa. but even if i listened to radiohead 10 times more, would that necessarily negate the opinion?

Leif.

I am voting on who I would rather listen to. only music crits care about "influence" and "importance".

xpost and yeah, # of times listened is probably the best gauge available. anything else is just frontin' imo.

i dunno. for me i have a whole bunch of stuff on vinyl and/or CDs i haven't ripped to my computer at work, so i tend to just sort of listen to whatever recent stuff i have ripped more times than stuff i actually like a lot better.

That's kinda sad that yr chin is so big you have to hide it in shame. ;_;

so I guess I'm the only crazy person who listens to music he likes more often than music he doesn't like?

ps I'm not some crazy radiohead fan, I've just always found kraftwerk to be more important than enjoyable, outside of like 'computer love'

I don't like Radiohead tho.

Leif.

I <3 comp <3 otm.

Leif.

hoos: what is an idito? like iditotechque?

thanks,
Leif.

O_o

Leif!

ILM = I LIE MUCHNESS

Oh yeah. I secretly listen to Radiohead all the time even though they do nothing for me. You caught me there.

do younger peeps totally get Kraftwerk straight away when they first hear them these days? i thought they were really naff when i was a kid

Amber and Alice totally got Autobahn when I playe edit them a couple years ago.

ahem: Take two...

They've sometimes got a childlike quality about them. Which you certainly could not say about Radiohead!

No Surprises, musically at least

I think Radiohead is plenty childlike but more like the stuff of children's nightmares. thom yorke's doom and gloom (especially around kid a and amnesiac) always felt a bit like a ten-year-old confronting the idea of death for the first time.

I never got around to knowing the lyrics of amnesiac songs - it is my favorite album of theirs

I would imagine this totally comes down to when and what you hear. My first Kraftwerk exposure was "Trans-Europe Express" in my mid-teens and I certainly got THAT right away, but I'm not sure I would have picked up on, say, "The Looking Glass" the same way.

Of course, at that point I was already familiar with any number TEE-derived bass & electro beats.

On my last.fm:

Anyways. Just bought tickets to see Radiohead & Kraftwerk at Mexico City on both tourdates.

It's a good thing Kraftwerk is opening so I don't have to rush to get in there.

You can't get much cooler than dissing Radiohead
