The Most Radiohead-influenced song from MX?

Stv · 16-09-2011, 04:00 AM

I hear it very The Bends alike, especially in the part where Will starts doing the backing vocals, and when Chris is on the piano

Does anyone else find it a Radioheady?

Wait, isn't Chris Martin playing acoustic guitar in the live renditions of this song?

rainplay · 16-09-2011, 05:21 AM

Nope, I don't see the connection..

admnistramation · 16-09-2011, 05:35 AM

Chris' vocals on Up In Flames sounds kind of like Thom's, but not even that much.

Mark · 16-09-2011, 04:17 PM

You could compare it to anyone with an acoustic guitar. Johnny Cash, Jeff Buckley, that gimp from The Wanted...

DukeNewcomb · 17-09-2011, 01:55 AM

If anything it's comparable to High and Dry off The Bends, but not much else.

Stv · 17-09-2011, 03:16 AM

High & Dry or Fake Plastic Trees .-.

Me either.

Really doesnt sound like any of Radioheads tracks.

charles bovary · 17-09-2011, 09:07 PM

I guess, they are similar in the mood but not in the musical quality... Both are really good bands but i found them really different..

MoonLife · 26-02-2012, 09:14 AM

Erm...I guess the guitar riff thing is a little like radiohead...
but I think chris martin's voice is different to yorke....
I think the weird "up" things on up with the birds may be radiohead-y....maybe...

Not in the slightest way possible.

AmbroseCadwell · 26-02-2012, 10:28 AM

Tobias Froberg sounds like Thom Yorke, especially on 'Turn Heads'.

DavidB5 · 26-02-2012, 09:09 PM

Please don't mention Radiohead in the same sentence with Coldplay. Radiohead is, for me pretty much unlistenable.

MosesTheMarshmallow · 27-02-2012, 01:49 AM

I don't really hear any Radiohead influence at all on this song...?

On the other hand, the vocals in UIF remind me of Fake Plastic Trees on the line "this time I know-oww it's gone" etc - that falsetto jump is in both songs.

You need to give them more of a chance, IMO.

That's a personal preference.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
