Maybe you should check out Porcupine Tree...probably start with In Absentia or Fear of a Blank Planet. Then from there you might be able to gradually get into Radiohead and follow the more traditional DDD route.


I'm not entirely new to Radiohead; I like Street Spirit. I might try an album by them

...ok, so listen to The Bends. It's the perfect album to get into Radiohead. If you like Street Spirit you'll love the whole thing.

haha fuck you guys, i'm not even saying it in a suggestive or preachy way. It just makes sense that if he likes that one song he should listen to the rest of the album.

Well, I like gothic imagery in movies, video games, etc., but I've never dressed or wanted to dress like a goth, I've never gone to the mall to hang out, I have varied musical tastes including grunge, hair bands, and new wave, and again, not a girl. So I guess draw your own conclusions.

This passes as variety these days?

It's variety compared to a stereotypical goth, I would think. It wasn't meant to encompass everything I like, though. I like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Electric Light Orchestra, 80's and 90's Madonna, Queensryche, Nine Inch Nails, Pat Benatar, James Horner, Shania Twain, Evanescence...

Florence and The Machine - Ceremonials

I found a couple more songs to like alongside "Shake It Out". Not a consistent album, but that's not exactly surprising in my case, given the influence soul has on it.

6/10

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

The first track, "Blackest Eyes", was a pretty good rock song. Most of the rest, though, was drifting, drippy, emotionally muted stuff, like something I would play while hanging crystals or aligning my chakra (if those were things I did) instead of something to listen to. Granted, that's at best ironic and at worst unfair since I've been known to like New Age, but it's how it sounds to me.

"Wedding Nails" started out good, but then it spent over a minute repeating the same four notes with ambient sounds, until I wanted to yell at the song to do something already. Then there were some more ambient sounds. It also doesn't help that the album cover is really offputting. It's my least favorite cover of the albums I've rated, with Evanescence probably being the best.

5/10

Keep in mind that I generally go easier on artists than I do on albums, because an album is a consumer product, a collection of songs that needs to be judged as a whole, while the artists are people providing me with music to take or leave. So I would give Florence and The Machine a 7/10 so far. Porcupine Tree is really pushing it with one decent song out of a full album; I'd give them a 6/10 from what I've heard.

Radiohead to come.

You didn't like Trains? Trains > Blackest Eyes, and basically every song Porcupine Tree has written.
