I'm not.

Creep is a good song and all, but Radiohead has progessed far beyond Creep. I still love the song though. I just happen to find songs like Let Down better.

Exactly. Didn't mean to sound too negative with my last post.

I can't get Let Down out of my head, and its a good thing!

1.High and Dry
2.Fake Plastic Trees
3.Paranoid Android

^My Iron Lung is like the best one on The Bends!!!!!
I just heard Paranoid Android on an internet radio and I hadn't heard it in a while.... It was quite refreshing to hear it again.

yeah sorry im with diana on that one. i definetly think my iron lung is the best song on the bends...it never ceases to blow my mind

Fake Plastic Trees is the best on The Bends. I will not think otherwise. My Iron Lung is alright, but it's not on the same level as Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, or Just. I'm sorry, those songs are better.

tell me why. not to be challenging or condescending, but im curious to know what people see in songs such as fake plastic trees and high and dry (not that i dont love them) that they would pick them over songs like my iron lung and electioneering for instance

I'm curious too.......

Well said.

Fake plastic trees, IS the best. Simply because slow songs beat a fast song anyday.

Hey, here's a lesson for life. If you want to not come off as a cold bitch towards me, try asking nicely instead of demanding I answer to you.

I personally find those songs much more striking than My Iron Lung. It's all personal preference. Maybe songs like High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees hit me a lot harder than My Iron Lung. I've been fucked over and left without answers to things that happened to me many times before, and I tend to be able to pick people out that are horrendously fake, and therefore these songs have personal meaning for me. My Iron Lung is good, maybe as good or better than the songs I like to you, but I personally don't care for the song.

Oh yeah, don't read into anything I said Steph, my descriptions of the two songs aren't about you, so don't go ahead and assume that I am still bitter about us. Also, don't see this as me attacking you, because I'm not, I am just giving you the answer you snapped for. Thanks.

Diana, slow songs tend to mean more to people than a typical fast song. More people tend to relate to Are You Sad and find that song absolutely brilliant compared to In Repair or Right Behind You. If AYS was a fast song with simple power chords, do you think people would find the song so touching and amazing? Touching love songs are written to be played slowly, and therefore, the slow guitars with the touching lyrics just work well together.

I understand what you mean... I just often find that faster songs are filled with more energy.. I hate bands that do slow songs without any energy or emotion and make them just plain boring.

faster songs = less depth

lyrically, perhaps that is so.. but musically, I'd definitely have to disagree

Fast adds energy and different levels of emotion............slow songs can usually produce a higher level of sadness...........but fast songs present the frenzy of a situation.......they are just different...........

And Junkimunki wasn't being mean to you Steamer Trunk..........your response was pretty harsh...........maybe it was direct.........but didn't seem to contain any offensive tones. I guess you disagree, but I thought your response was pretty rough.
