Radiohead (rock, quote, band, Computer)

Err... I think it's just you.

They're fantastic! From their sleeper hit 'Creep,' through their groundbreaking OK Computer, and through their continued evolution since, Radiohead has always shown themselves to be one of the best bands out there. Fans and critics alike see them as the natural inheritors of REM and Pink Floyd's mantle. Over the years, they've continued to experiment, pushing the boundaries of alt-rock, and generally proving themselves, over and over, to be much, much better than 95% of the chaff overrunning the mainstream music scene.

incidentally, does massive attack remind you of radiohead?

I think some of Massive Attack's stuff is angsty in the same way, 'Angel' springs to mind.

Who else is looking forward to the next Radiohead album like crazy? I don't know exactly what to expect, except that it should be good.

I dig PH and the Bends but anything after that is just whining to me. I've listened to OKC and Kid A several several times trying to get into them but just couldn't. I also used to think they were really 'deep' but when I read the words to the songs, I realized they weren't. Or at least they didn't appeal to me.

If you like 'em, good for you. If not, no worries either. To each their own.

I have a few radiohead albums, i only like some songs by them, very good musically but just not my thing entirely.

I never liked Radiohead musicially or in any way at all. Thom Yorke scared me when I was little and he still does. I wish he would get a haircut.

Ashlee Simpson scares me. No one can be THAT bad at singing.
