<p>oh studious, you won’t live that one down.
i hate how radiohead’s become the property of hipsters. i like them, but not excessively so. some stuff out there is so much better.</p>

<p>i’ll admit i have weird taste though. anyone like the tiger lillies? [Tiger</a> Lillies- Banging in the nails - YouTube](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inIuYren8jg]Tiger”>Tiger Lillies- Banging in the nails - YouTube)</p>

<p>maaaybe not the most PC song…</p>

<p>Radiohead is wrongly seen as property of “hipsters.” Please. Do you honestly think a band who’s been around since the 80’s and has millions of fans on Facebook and Twitter is associated with an inferior subculture that only listens to what “hasn’t been listen to yet?”</p>

<p>Also, if you want to get in the “mood”, listen to Otis Redding and Al Green. I’m a sucker for old-school soul (not proud to say that).</p>

<p>@GrammerNazi: Will do!</p>

<p>(By the way, I must say that your name is quite clever. I wish I’d thought of that…)</p>

<p>You enjoy it? Fantastic. That just shows that people like you and I bleed intellectualism and creativity.</p>

25

<p>YEAH OTIS REDDING AND AL GREEN. They’re fantastic.
I think I’m stuck in a kind of late 60s-early 70s musical era, and everything just sounds weak when you compare it to Hendrix. But I just re-listened to Radiohead. I think their old stuff was better - I just can’t get over the whining (–> vampire weekend!)</p>

26

<p>Their old stuff definitely was fantastic. OK Computer <3</p>

<p>I have a habit of listening to 70’s and 80’s music a lot. Either soul or New Wave (I love me some New Wave).</p>

27

<p>I was once going somewhere and I had NPR on, and they were interviewing some British guy, but I can’t remember his name. He sang songs that were quick, 1970 - 1980’s style, and had kind of a light hearted tone to it. I know that this is a very very ambiguous description, but would anyone know an artist like that?</p>

28

<p>David Bowie, maybe? [David</a> Bowie - Space Oddity - YouTube](<a href=“David Bowie - Space Oddity - YouTube”>David Bowie - Space Oddity - YouTube)</p>

29

<p>That one’s not exactly “quick” though…</p>

<p>@Retro, Kind of like that, though more fast paced and a deeper voice.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about this one? :</p>

<p>umm, sorry, I didn’t really like the original song, it’s just not the style of music I like.</p>

33

<p>oh I love Space Oddity. my dad loves it, so I grew up listening to it</p>

<p>Okay, this is an extremely late response, but last weekend I was listening to NPR, and they interviewed Noel Gallagher, the song-writer and guitarist from Oasis, which seems to somewhat fit your description. Although they are the quintessential 90’s band IMO, they also took inspiration from the Beatles, Smiths, Pistols, etc., so there is some 70’s/80’s-ishness to them. </p>
