I love this band. Listening to their music is very calming for me. Some of their lyrics seem aspie, too.

Here's "The Bends"

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?
Alone on an aeroplane
Falling asleep against the window pane
My blood will THICKEN.

I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
'cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?

My baby's got the bends - Oh no
We don't have any real friends - No no no
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And Where are you?
They brought in the C.I.A.
The tanks, and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high.

My baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.

I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.

I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?

Anyone else here Radiohead fans?

Their song "Creep" has always spoken to me.

"I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here." Thats could easily be an Aspie's thoughts right there.

OK Computer is also one of my favorite albums of all time. Paranoid Android and Karma Police are both incredible songs.

Yeah, good song.

Ok Computer is definitely my favorite Radiohead album. Kid A and Hail To The Thief tie for 2nd.

I like Radiohead.

All of their albums are equally good.

My favourite song's got to be "Creep" and "My Iron Lung" both tied.

Scatterbrain

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain

I like Thom Yorke.
He is a good fellow.
He speaks up for global issues.

Is that fact or opinion?

I've been thinking that he probably has it. Bjork too.

I have Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer. I still listen to OK Computer sometimes (favourite tracks on it are The Tourist and Subterranean Homesick Alien but I like most of them). I only occaisionally listen to The Bends and very rarely Pablo Honey.
