^ Yes, Radiohead have a huge reputation and a lot of loyal followers, but I've never really understood why. Still planning to check out OK Computer one day, but in the meantime, I'm not hearing anything to make me curious.

For example, with the clip that Mindfulness posted, I found that, in the competition for my attention, it was the video that won out over the music, which I pretty much ignored as I followed the antics of the little toy villagers. That can't be a good sign for a band, can it? That their music has all the impact of a forgetable soundtrack.

Nah I like Radiohead fine but they're pretty unexciting.

No. You don't like them as much as I do. Don't even try.

Because the bands they ripped from were more exciting?

They didn't rip off anyone. They are original. Everything they do is genius. Everything!

It's not my fault you're obsessed with Wilco covering Kraftwerk.
