If you had to pick one out of Kid A, Amnesiac, or Ok Computer, which one would it be?
I think it's turning into a Radiohead Kid A or Amnesia day. These remixes on Nostr Nests right now are sick nostr:npub13pnmakf738yn6rv2ex9jgs7924renmderyp5d9rtztsr7ymxg3gqej06vw . Why not listen to both? Radiohead released an album 2 years ago which is just those two incredible albums together in one discography along with a bunch of unreleased B-sides. Radiohead B-sides used to be some of my favorite songs back in the day.

For my next #grownostr segment, let's discuss my love for music.
I spent a decade of my life overly obsessed with Radiohead and Sigur Ros. I really identified with their music and their music helped me get through some rough patches in my life when it seemed like women were breaking my heart left and right.
After my Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Muse, and Dredg phase, I moved onto the punk genre. Punk, ska, screamo, emo, pop-punk, you name it. From Blink 182, to Millencolin, to No Use for a Name, to The Offspring, to Me First and the Gimme Gimmies, and so many more. If it was a punkish band in the early 2000's, it was my jam.
Eventually, I started to listen to more EDM and that's where I've been for the past decade or more. I can't say I have a favorite EDM artist as there are so many remixes and random tracks that I come across from various portions of the Internet. If has a good beat and sick drops, count me in.
The only thing I really don't like is country or rap. If the mood hits right, you may find me getting really into a rap song from the 90's or early 2000, but beyond that, that genre just isn't for me. I know even less about country music. I kind of hate it... Johnny Cash is alright though.
I'm always listening to music though. If I'm doing yard work or fiat mining, there's always music playing. 🎧

Jesus Christ talk about an impossible decision. I love them all for different reasons and Amnesiac and Kid A are so damn close, but I'd have to say Amnesiac. That said, the previously unreleased/B-side of most of the Amnesiac songs are my favorite versions of those songs such as Like Spinning Plates (live) and an earlier version of Motion Picture Soundtrack. Ahhhhh! Yes. Kid A would be my choice.
It is an impossible choice. How about Morning Bell? Amnesiac version or Kid A version?
Wow. Everything is an impossible choice. I can't do it. Though, my favorite version of Fog is from the Com Lag 2+2=5 EP.
Kid A for me. You guys ever listen to Radiodread? That’s my go to when my wife complains that she wants something besides Radiohead on road trips 😂

No I have not. I used to drive Katie crazy listening to the Vitamin String Quartet Strung Out on OK Computer album. I would sing them all since there are no vocals 😉
Let me know what you think. They do a solid Pink Floyd cover called “Dub Side of the Moon” too. I’ll take a listen to Strung Out 🤙

Wow, I haven’t heard this before. Really interesting reggae take on the songs
I saw Radiohead at ULU student union bar when they were promoting pablo honey
They are fantastic live! Not sure how the shows were back in the Pablo Honey days, but their early 2000s shows in the US were something else
Very good, sadly a friend lost his life working for them in 2012 and their stuff reminds me of that now
