  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

depends which you prefer for other music better?

Rock or Electronica?


rock: the bends
electronica: Hail to the Thief


I have all of their records except for Ok Computer. So..yeah. It's hard to really give you just one.

Pablo Honey seemed bland to me, but it was rock.

Amnesiac is a great mix of rock and Electronica.

I love Radiohead!!
They are quickly becomming my new obsession.

Lately I have been into the Bends, but I think everyone's music collection needs to include O.K. Computer.

I think The Bends are a good intro cd to get, but if you can do it, I would get both :)

what exactly is OK Computer like? I saw their video for one song (it was cartoony) and liked it...but yeah.
That was probably the video for "Paranoid Android". I think OK Computer is their best CD to date. It's their epic album. The whole CD has a sorta storyline, very depressive and downbeat, but, hey, that's Radiohead.
"Climbing Up The Walls" is one of the darkest songs I've ever heard. "Let Down" is my favorite song from OK Computer- the lyrics about disappointment and failure over the kinda pretty and happy sounding intro and music, it's a beautiful song. "No Surprises" has a similar approach, but it's way more darker yet; a song about completely giving up, even to the point of suicide, but it sounds so happy and upbeat. But just see the one-shot video for the song; it has Thom in a sorta big astronaut helmet-like thing, and he just sings the song as the lyrics scroll up in front of him. Halfway into it this helmet begins to fill up with water, until it completely covers everything and Thom holds his breathe for a little too long. It perfectly conveys the essence of the song.

OK Computer is the album I'd recommend to anyone who's listening to Radiohead for the first time.

Also, Street Spirit is on the Bends and it might be the greatest song of all time....:p

Since my favorite "song" of all time is not really a song, per se, I'd have to agree with you. Street Spirit is just about as good as it gets.

you got in trouble because it said the word "creep"? you're joking, correct? the edited version is CENSORED!! don't ever buy edited versions; its not what the artist had originally intended to release.
