(Part 3) Best products from r/radiohead

Oh sure, look it up. If I were smart, that's what I would have done. ;-)

To save other people the trouble:

Pablo Honey

The Bends

OK Computer

Kid A - due to the lack of singles (and B-sides), this might actually be the worst collector's edition, which is amazing because this album is awesome awesome.

Amnesiac

Hail To The Thief

In Rainbows

I guess it almost comes down to which album you like the best. I'm a big fan of The Bends, so I enjoy that pop driven second disc more than somebody who tuned in after Kid A (for example). What do you like, OP?

For anyone interested :

They are all super good and I recommend them.

There Will Be Blood.

Norwegian Wood

Bodysong

Jonny Greenwood + Krzysztof Penderecki

I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD 598. They are literally the best headphones you can get for under $200! Radiohead is a band that has a lot of intimate and detailed songs. These are open-backed headphones so the sound stage is really wide and makes you feel like you're their with band! Also I recommend these for any genre of music really; if you want an intimate and detailed experience.

He released an album which was really good but not like top 40 popular. I really enjoyed it but it's nothing like Radiohead's music. It's very quiet folk for which he does the vocals.

I picked this up for $0.50 the other day. I love it!
This is also pretty good too

There's nothing at all similar about these artists, but there are certain tracks that give me visual landscapes.

Peter Gabriel's Last Temptation and Long Walk Home albums.

This, please don't ask, you have to watch it to understand, and it's only available on VHS

Phantom of the Opera, Angel of Music (with Sara Brightman)

Certain bridges and parts when melodies and instruments combine with various artists like Nickel Creek.

Warpaint

Joe Hisaishi

Thomas Newman

Gotta plug this Teac turntable. Had one since Christmas, would definitely recommend. Looks sleek, plays great.

my favorite songs are (Nice Dream), Bones and Bulletproof...I wish I was.
Cool story: I used to work at the art museum at CSULB and our staff there made a book about stage designing called "Bullet Proof ... I Wish I Was: The Lighting & Stage Design of Andi Watson," and it had a forward by Thom Yorke himself!!

Okay kids, listen carefully. Also, if you are a lit major or a book snob, just stop reading. This is a great book (duh) but it may not be very easy to read and understand for folks like me who read more contemporary books and are not very much into The Classics. Now, one day you might decide to stop pretending you've read it and actually decide that goddammit you're going to read it. Get Stanley Lombardo's translation. The translation feels and reads "modern" so you'll read it just like any other book. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZDNYYI?ref=aw_sitb_end_act_to_dtl

I for one know I wouldn't have read and enjoyed this book (along with The Iliad and The Odyssey) had it not been for Lombardo's translations.

I've got a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable hooked up to a Denon PMA720AE amplifier and Q Acoustics 3020 speakers. All in all, including a few other bits and bobs, the set up cost me like £750.

But, using slightly lower models of the same manufacturers you could hit that £500 mark:

• Pro-Ject Elemental
  
• Denon PMA520AE
  
• Q Acoustics 3020
  
  Obviously you're gonna wanna shop around a bit yourself and find what looks best to you as i'm no expert in the variety of equipment that is available, but I can say, for the time being at least, i'm very happy with my setup.

This is exactly what I got. Cartridge and needle already mounted on the headshell. All I had to do was unplug the old headshell and put this one in its place. Real easy. I’m sure there are adjustments you could make as well to get it “just so”, but I’m happy with the way it sounds as is.

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 558s. They're very similar to the HD 598 (sound-wise), but they are cheaper and less flashy. They come standard with a 1/4" jack which I plug directly into my amp, which is connected to my turntable. You really can't feel them on your head, they're that comfortable. I'd totally recommend them for listening around the house.

I think I figured it out. It must have been the live in Oslo version and I am misremembering about there being no crowd noises. This sounds like what I remember: Check out True Love Waits (Live in Oslo) by Radiohead on Amazon Music

that's a good move! I have been working on accurate sheet music for anything I love and can't find...still working on making them correct. PM me and I can help out. These books are the best so far:

https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Shaped-Piano-Voice-Guitar/dp/0571539602/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-8

https://www.amazon.com/Piano-Songbook-Radiohead-Radioheads-Biggest/dp/0739077848/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-1

https://www.amazon.com/Radiohead-Kid-Piano-Vocal-Guitar/dp/0757992471/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483536765&sr=1-7

The '28 Biggest Hits' is a treasure trove, though some mistakes. AMSP is golden. Kid A is a cheap publisher but accurate.

Spotify most definitely does not have the rights to change the music. You can see "XL Recordings" at the bottom of Kid A as well, in the Spotify app. Amazon has it the same way.

The "gap" at the end of MPS serves no purpose in the digital age and thankfully was removed. Probably gives them much better streaming numbers too.

Quite a few books have been referenced in interviews - here's some of the ones I think I remember. They're all very good books despite any association with Radiohead, by the way.

Sennheiser 598s will change your life without totally breaking the bank. Think they cost a lot more when I got my (better-sounding-than-ever) pair five or six years ago.
