2007, the most oversubscribed concert in history - 27 years after they split up. Naturally, I applied and didn't get in. Devastated, although I did get to meet Robert Plant (and v briefly song on his backing band) 3 years later

Incredible playing from Jimmy, and a much more controlled (and, lets be honest, less show-offy than in the 1970s) vocal performance from Robert. But then he just pulls it out of the pocket at 6:30, out of nowhere. Epic...
Yeah I'm being silly, she released an album in Iceland in 1977. One day I'm going to do a pub quiz: sort these people (Björk, Kate Bush, Blondie) in order of date of their first album release...
Fun fact - according to the rules of this poll, all her albums after Homogenic are late career albums... including Vespertine!
Brilliant album but 2 years too soon for this poll it seems
Of I'm sorry to hear that. But also excited for how much you have to discover. Stevie Wonder is great...
No Surprises - the opening riff has been used countless times in TV promos etc, there's a long tradition in pop of happy music / sad lyrics
It's the Internet so i can't tell if this is sarcasm or you've managed to not hear Stevie Wonder yet are old enough to have a Reddit account. Maybe your parents only let you listen to hip hop and/or classical music or death metal?
Somebody's seen the new video from those people I'm not allowed to mention on this subreddit...
And then the 7/8 section comes back for one more rock out, it's just such a perfect song
I similarly thought "that name sounds familiar" but was ready to accept it, I've never read the books / seen the films
Do you think she meant to say smegma? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smegma
Or maybe (more correctly) sebum, which can lead to an omphalolith: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omphalolith
This is the correct take
Indeed, looks great, thanks for the info! https://www.highland.gov.uk/greatglenway/info/3/
Whaaaa? This is crazy https://youtu.be/Q0Vh-_tOYvs?si=fQIm_PG9g7O5TGBX
I love how by the time of Monster they were basically the biggest band in the world, after the FM radio friendly behemoths that were Out Of Time and Automatic, so it feels like they deliberately made Monster grimy and more obtuse, so they could go back to being a little bit on the margins again. Monster is such a dark album, incredible distortion throughout. You is terrifying, as is Circus Envy. But Tongue is tender and beautiful, Bang and Blame is another all time classic.
Yes, I forgot Nightswimming, how could I forget Nightswimming? That album was such a juggernaut. And I love an the other songs too- New Orleans Instrumental is very soulful, F**k Me Kitten is tender and drops the f bomb in a fantastic way for a teenager, Try Not To Breathe is poetry.
OK you've made me feel so old. Pretty much everybody my generation (teenager in the '90s) had a copy of this in their house at the time, it feels like. Everybody Hurts, the Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite, Drive, Man on the Moon, were all huge, I mean huge songs that defined the early mid 90s just before Britpop.
I have Green, Document, Out Of Time, Monster, New Adventures In Hi Fi, Up, Reveal - they're all great. They were actually the first gig I went to, Earl's Court in 1999 on the Up tour (Up is awesome, often overlooked as it's the least rocky, but it's properly beautiful).
Michael Stipe is a brilliant singer. Peter Buck is a fantastic multi instrumentalist and songwriter, the work he did with Eels for Daisies of the Galaxy still makes me well up
OK I checked in Wikipedia and it is the one I suspected as it just has fantastic energy, but I have to say - that is an incredible live recording!
I’ve listened to every Radiohead album except this one. What to expect ?
