Thanks Nabu.

I listened to the new Radiohead.  I'm not feeling it yet.  Lots of beeps and whirs, but not a lot of melody or guitars.  Also very mellow.

But King of Limbs comes directly before King of the Delta Blues Singers in my playlist so I am having a good time listening to Robert Johnson.  Haven't heard that in way too long.

Edit:  Next up, King of the Surf Guitars.  Come on Dick Dale!

I got an email from them saying it came out. I looked and saw they were charging for this one. Call me a dick, but I don't listen to In Rainbows much and it was free, so no thanks.

Let's see, how far can I take this...

King of the Texas Blues -Lightning Hopkins.  Great music, but not in the mood for country blues now after Dick Dale.
King of the World - hossshoe.  I don't know who this is.  Must be from that batch of local bands that a friend told me I should listen to.
Kingpin Soundtrack - Maybe later.
Kings of the Wild Frontier - Adam Ant.  No.
Kink Kronikles- Yes!

FWIW I fuck*ng love it. In Rainbows took at least a year to grow on me and I still rarely listen to it. This one may be my favorite since Kid A.

Guitar rock was, is, and will forever remain my first love in music, but to me Radiohead was at their best when they first moved away from conventional guitar rock. I don't agree with the "lots of beeps and whirs" comment, although it is pretty mellow, and yeah, not a lot of guitar in the foreground. To each his own.

Ok, I may give it a try.

My King albums:
King Bee - Muddy Waters
King for a Day/Fool for a Lifetime - Faith No More
Kingdom of Rust - Doves
Kings of Punk - Poison Idea

(I'm pretty sure I have more at home that aren't on the iPod.)

Ummm...

King - T.I.
King Night - Salem
King of Limbs - Radiohead
King of the Mountain - Kate Bush single (b/w cover of Sexual Healing, interesting but why listen to it when I have Marvin's which is the best song ever)
Kings of Crunk - Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz

Then it jumps to Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Sorry guys.

King Bee - Muddy Waters

Dang, I have it on vinyl.  I can't believe I've never got it digitally.  Such a great album.  It's essential!

S/T-- King Khan and the BBQ Show
King of Afrobeat-- Fela Kuti
King of the Beach-- Wavves
King of the Surf Guitar-- Dick Dale
King of the Delta Blues Singers-- Robert Johnson

then on to the kinks.

I have never been huge on Radiohead. I mostly like their guitar stuff, because apparently I am a guitar man through and through.

My Robt Johnson is entitled "The Complete Recordings" but they're all the same, really.

Just not when it comes to Jazz.

Hooray for the electric guitar. Best instrument ever. Listening to Sonic Youth right now. I guess it's kind of strange that I like Radiohead's non guitar stuff best.

OK, do you like Bad Moon Rising?

I am listening to it now, finally.

my GF's friend said that before Evol, Sonic Youth were "really bad" and for some reason that really aggravated me. It really bothers me when people do not make the "I don't like it"/"it is bad" distinction.

Also, my thought was that when I am listening to challenging music, I typically rely to some degree on the idea that if other people whose opinions I respect like something, it is worth listening to several times to give it a chance. And Thurston Moore is way higher on my list than some dickbag college radio kid.

I like it. Among the albums I have it's the one with which I'm least familiar. It's also the earliest album I own. I need to explore those first three some more.

This is kind of fun. I knew some of the guys that wrote for the site, fakejazz.com, and that links to a feature they did when Murray Street was released.

I like how divided they are on NYC Ghosts & Flowers. That shitbag Brent DiCrescenzo hated it. I haven't listened to it yet.

You guys like Golden Smog? My wife bought me Another Fine Day a few years ago, knowing that I like Wilco. It's no Another Perfect Day, but then again, what is?

Never listened to Golden Smog, but was annoyed by them once because they were in town and at first glance I thought I was reading that Smog was in town.

But I do really like Another Perfect Day, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkb2nMr. WonderfulvBs  The fuck?

This work?
