So I want to get more into Radiohead/NIN/Tool...

Get the whole album the Bends by Radiohead its so amazing. Just get anything by tool lol. Eulogy, opiate, parabola, ticks and leeches just limewire nething u can. both of em are amazing bands, and i personally havent heard anything from either of them that i dont like.

 

get jimmy by tool.

oh and once you get accustomed to this music, you may want try out the force of nature that is The Mars Volta

 

I have every album by radiohead. Theyre all freaking phenominal except in rainbows.... which I actually dont like...

 

For realz? I'm a HUGE Radiohead fan, and besides OK Computer, I count this one as my fave.

As for Tool, download every freaking album. I'm kinda or really biased on this one, but they have yet to make a bad song.

 

When you get your NIN decal, make sure you contact a licensed NIN installer:

Ditto that- except In Rainbows has several good songs. For a starting point, I'd have to go with Hail to the Thief- something about it- can't go wrong with Bends, OK, Kid A, and Amnesiac, though.

 

remembered some more TOOL:

Eulogy, Right In Two, The Grudge, Parabol/Parabola, Undertow, Wings for Marie (pt. 1), 10,000 Days (wings, pt. 2)

Btw, 46&2 and Lateralus are absolute GOLD

 

Radiohead:
Get Kid A and OK Computer. In Rainbows is pretty solid as well. Amnesiac was made in the same year as Kid A and is very much in the same vein.

All Radiohead albums are winners...with the exception of Pablo Honey. Not very familiar with it, but apparently I'm not missing anything from what I have heard. Kid A is where it's at though, srsly.

NIN:
You can't go wrong with any NIN album. Asking me to pick a favorite is next to impossible. The Fragile was a masterpiece. The Downward Spiral is right there with it. And Year Zero. And of course, the classic, Pretty Hate Machine. However, I will warn you...if you actually purchase PHM as a physical copy...it will disappear somehow, as it has for every one of my friends and myself.

Tool:
10,000 days(Wings Pt. II). The song more specifically than the entire album. That's all I'm gonna say.

 

Funny these are three of my favorite bands. I've seen each of them at least 5 times each live. I've actually seen NIN 14 times, most recently when I traveled to Vegas in December to catch their final show for the Lights in the Sky tour.

You can't go wrong with ANY of their albums. Radiohead especially has an amazing catalog. Download The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and In Rainbows. Every single track on those albums is solid. For NIN, The Downward Spiral is a classic album, but for something more recent check out Year Zero and The Slip. The Fragile is a double album that came out in 1999 and is absolute masterpiece. For Tool, 10,000 Days is their most recent album and is actually my favorite. Wings for Marie part 2 has to be one of the most amazing songs ever recorded.

Happy listening, you've made a good choice!

 

Oh yeah, for Radiohead I complete left off the Bends. Just too many damn good albums.

I'd actually say Kid A > The Bends > OK Computer.

 

i'm going to get skewered by most of the radiohead/nin/tool fans (and i know this, as a casual listener of all three...)

but i'm hijacking this thread to suggest Muse.

"Stockholm Syndrome"
"Sunburn"
"Take a Bow"
"Starlight"
"Supermassive Black Hole"
"Knights of Cydonia"
"Citizen Erased"
"New Born"
"Feeling Good"

Muse has the vocal capability of Thom Yorke, the pop aspects of NIN, and a little of the abstract from Tool.

ok, flame away

 

DUDE WTF MUSE BLOWS U SUCK AT LIFE OIFJOIWEJFFIWEOF

jk. Muse is beast but he DID ask for tool/nin/radiohead

 

I'd love to flame you for this, but after seeing them in concert I was blown away. I've seen over 200 live acts, and this band LIVE is a top 10 act. Just unbelievable.

 

Hail to the Thief is Radiohead's best album and everyone who has an opinion that is anything other than that or one on those other bands is a moron.

 

Muse has some really solid songs. Check out "Plug in Baby." I digress.

I have to say that I love In Rainbows. So many awesome tracks on that one. Ok Computer and The Bends are must haves. Kid A is great too, but I suggest listening to the others first. Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac are good, but not as the rest. If nothing else check out the song "Knives Out."

Radiohead is probably my second favorite band.

 

Wow really? Have you not heard all the other albums?

There There is a great one and there are a couple of standouts, but I don't think any of those songs are in my top ten Radiohead tracks.

Maybe you meant Ok Computer.

 

Radiohead > Muse, who cares if they're good live. Radiohead were pioneers for so many things. People overlook them for some reason, maybe cause Thom Yorke is ugly and no one in the band is actually appealing to the public unlike other bands. Anyway, anything from Radiohead is good, even Pablo Honey it's just way different than anything you would typically expect from Radiohead. Didn't know people didn't like In Rainbows either, that album was arguably their best one.

 

So far I think only one person here said they didn't like In Rainbows.

Oh and OP, if you get into them, also get their live album I Might Be Wrong.

 

I agree on the RH albums...especially OKC and Kid A, but all are ace (pablo is decent but not great). But since you asked for songs:

Airbag
Optimistic
Idioteque
Subterranean Homesick Alien
My Iron Lung
Karma Police
Planet Telex
Where I End and You Begin
Black Star
Street Spirit
I Might Be Wrong
Everything In It's Right Place
Lucky
2+2=5
Up On The Ladder
All I Need
The Bends
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box
Maquiladora
Trickster
A Reminder
Gagging Order
Let Down
The National Anthem
