That's a good question, try Paranoid Android to begin, then Electioneering, Karma Police, Everything in it's Right Place.

The list could go on for a while really, they're more of a listen to the whole album kind of band.

Well, it depends on the type of music you like. If you like rock, then get the Bends. If you like softer music, get Ok Computer, and if you're into experimental stuff, get Kid A.

Paranoid Android

Bodysnatchers

Nude

Karma Police

Great songs; if you hate all of those, you probably wont like radiohead. But to be honest, each album has its own unique tone. They're really one of those "listen to the whole album" bands.

I think the bends sucks to be honest. I dont know why that's seen as one of their better albums. OK computer is a masterpiece however. And In Rainbows is great so far, but i've only listened through it three or four times.

I've been trying to get into them in the last few weeks.

I already liked a few tracks here and there, but sitting through a whole album was pretty tricky; particularly the really slow songs.

However, i ended up enjoying Kid A quite a bit and was able to listen to the whole thing, but that's just me.

I heard Bellamy was inspired to write Stockholm Syndrome after listening to SOAD.

I don't understand why people compare Muse to Radiohead and vice-versa. Only some of their Showbiz songs sounded a bit like Radiohead, and that's only if someone mentions it. Other than that, they're completely different.

Probably the expectation of Muse after their first album being the alt. rock giants Radiohead were in the 90's.

If you liked those songs specifically then go for more of the songs on OK Computer and then try The Bends album. Also, Bodysnatchers from In Rainbows.

This is probably true.

I don't really like Radiohead that much, to be honest. I mean, I listen to noise (Venetian Snares, early Unicorns) and even I don't have the patience for most of their stuff. I love most of The Bends but other than that I can't really recommend much.

Those aren't noise bands dude.

If you like noise try Lightning Bolt, Hella, Merzbow, Boris, Melt-Banana, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice.

Anything on In Rainbows, my favs are body snatchers, weird fishes, house of cards and 15 step. Everything in its right place, limbo, morning bell, optimistic and idioteque from Kid A. I didnt care much for OkComputer, even though its hailed as the best Radiohead album.

You should listen to every single one of their albums, and then go see them live. They are easily one of the best bands in the world right, and they are certainly the one of the most innovative.

I (this is only my opinion) Think they are greatly overrated. They're thought to be one of the greatest indie / alternative bands ever, and people consider Thom Yorke to be a god. They're just alright in my opinion. There's nothing they've done that has "blown" my mind. In fact,barely any bands "blow my mind". Moon,recommend me some bands bro?

Radiohead's songs are part of albums. I realize this sounds obvious, but you cannot fully appreciate any of Radiohead's songs without enjoying them in the context of their album.

no they're great, and radiohead is boring garbage music. Seriosuly Creep and Karma Police, their 2 most popular songs, are like listening to white noise andthey put me to sleep. Muse's songs start out slow alot of them and then heat up.

I do agree. Karma Police and Creep are horrible songs. But compared to muse,they're like ****ing Mozart.
