Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

    TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you're good there

    If you like them and RH, there's a good chance you'd like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I'm getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.

      I really like the wailing yeah haha. Thanks for the suggestion and the affirmation that TMBG are still good!

      In the Court of the Crimson King is one of the albums tbh, most people will at least find it interesting.

      Saying that, I really like King Crimson. I haven't listened to every album yet, but I like Three of a Perfect Pair and THRAK quite a bit, despite them being albums that aren't often talked about. I need to listen to Larks Tongues in Aspic, because I quite like parts III and IV from ToaPP and The Construkcion of Light.

        In the Court is definitely way up there, especially if you just trim the improv part of Moonchild . . . . As you can probably tell from me going to Dinosaur immediately, I also really love THRAK (though a couple songs are dogshit, which is the case for most KC albums after the first). Larks Tongue is great, but now you've got me digging through their albums to remember stuff properly.

        Wow, looks like they've made a lot of their EPs and live albums more available finally, but I only know like two of those. Regarding remaining albums: I loved Power to Believe, one of their better ones. Red is solid. Starless is just this side of being too croony, but I like it. Lizard is jank as hell but I like and respect it. In the Wake of Poseidon I could never get into, though it has a couple of good songs. Islands I just totally forgot about to a much deeper degree than the rest of these, though on reflection I think I still like it more than Poseidon. Construkction I just can't stand, but I'm happy for you if you like it.
