boo boo how did you manage to get yourself bullied by every music clique throughout your youth? was it your annoying (and undeserved) tendency to run your mouth off, or your "easy target" appearance? maybe both?

Radiohead however have just continued making the same boring crap over and over. Sure they've changed in parts, don't say I haven't endured their rubbish. But challenging? Yeah maybe for someone who has listened to nothing but Britney Spears. Radiohead are good at what they're good at. Of course they are, or they wouldn't have so many fans. But what they're good at is making shitty pop music that pretends to not be shitty pop music. They're this generation's Beatles. They're what you listen to if you want to be different, but don't have the patience to enjoy proper music. Or the band that you can feel safe in listening to without ruining your reputation.

Next time anyone calls radiohead experimental or pushing the boundaries. Listen to them again. Don't do anything, go into an empty room, and listen to them, and then try to pinpoint what's so expe... oh, you fell asleep.

First let me state, yet again, that I'm not a big Radiohead fan and I'm not claiming that they are super experimental. All I'm saying is that they are more so than Nirvana. Got it? Unlike you, I was not still wearing a diaper at the beginning of these two bands careers and was in fact actively listening to music at the time so I actually had the benefit of experiencing the evolution of both bands first hand instead of just reading about it later.

When I first heard Nirvana (when Nevermind came out, nobody I knew ever heard Bleach until after the fact) I thought they were good, nothing groundbreaking and very much in keeping with a lot of the other music they played on my local college station, but they were still good. Then they got really popular. Then they released one more album was a bit more raw but still in the same ballpark. Then Kurt Cobain killed himself. The end. Not a whole lot of experimenting or defying of expectations occurred during this brief window of time. I'd say the most surprising thing about them was that they ever became so popular.

When I first heard Radiohead I also thought they were good but not really groundbreaking and in fact after buying Pablo Honey I was pretty disappointed. Imagine my surprise when they proceeded to release album after album that defied expectations and were actually pretty interesting. Have I ever loved a Radiohead album? No. I appreciate a lot of what they've done but they're not really my thing, but even as a person who is not much of a fan I have to admit that they've certainly defied expectations and evolved a lot over time. For a band that was perceived as britpop in the vein of Oasis or Blur to release a Pink Floyd-esque opus is pretty ballsy. For a band that built its whole reputation around a guitar-driven sound to release a pair of droning, post-rockish albums where guitar is either absent or pushed way to the back is very unexpected.

Well based on their shitty music they could be, I mean they use alot of effects, keyboards, and sing about space (which I think is more intersting than singing about wizards or elfs) and whatever.

Funny because Ive never met a straight edge kid who's even heard of Ian Makye or Minor Threat.

I ended up getting a hard on from all experimentalism on Kid A. Yeh we all know you hate Radiohead stop trying to prove it.

I just meant that Radiohead is still pushing the boundaries. I forgot about Nirvana when I typed that tidbit.

@ Janszoon: I don't treat bands as part of scenes, or albums on pretenses. Makes it much easier to get perspective on music in a world where everything is so readily available.

As opposed to Radiohead and their famous bubblegum pop album Kid A.

So Radiohead is just pop and Endless, Nameless is innovative art. I gotcha.

Yeah all their albums sound exactly the same.

This is about the most ignorant thing I've ever read.

I want a laugh, tell me why this band is so damn unoriginal. What band was already doing what they did?
