The only radiohead albums I give a shit about anymore are still ok computer, amnesiac, and actually, in rainbows. I find in rainbows less boring than kid a. It's just energetic in a quiet way, if that makes sense.
But im still not going ape shit over any of it. Not like when I was 15.
speaking about music you really liked at that age and regarding this thread....
I'll say it.
Weezer.
Their first two albums were pop rock masterpieces, while mostly straightfoward, you know the age group that music is targeted at, and for that age group they nailed it flawlessley in my opinion.
The blue album has some of the most awesome hooks and basslines in 90s pop and pinkerton has some of the best/melodic guitar solos that sound more like violin lines than a rock solo.
then the bassist left, rivers went nuts and lost whatever he had going on when he let critics get to his head...and abandoned that style forever, trading it in with his soul.
Ruining what could have been a good legacy and transforming it to a legacy of 'meh'.
