You noticed? RH's music is very good, but they seem to be chronically forlorn.

I've thought of this album as the 90's equivelent of Dark Side of the Moon ever since i first got hooked on it in '97 or 98... Brilliant album, hard to take any one song out. Should be listned to as a complete composition.

I agree wholeheartedly.  I was there, too, and we were culturally deprived by the whole "popular" music thing.  Creative depth like this was never heard among regular folks like us.  Obscure bands never made the Top 20 as we cheered the likes of Slade. Seeing Radiohead live in '97 changed my whole view of what music was about.  A lot of it was good fun in the '70's, but I am only now starting to appreciate some really diverse stuff.  Thanks RP, for enlightening me in my 50's.

Every generation has the music of its time -then theres the music that lasts - the music with value.

I grew up in England in the 70s and amongst BayCity Rollers, Abba and Showaddywaddy I never did get to hear much Neil Young...

But when we hear 70s music now thats what we get to hear (mercifully)

The best Radiohead song ever.

Thom's new stuff all sounds the same to me.
Anybody heard "Judge, Jury, Executioner" by Atoms for Peace"? {#Snooty}
Sounds just like the last 3 albums he's put out.

Excellent band

 
I think you're trying to reach a new high in hyperventilating hyperbole. 

After one deducts points for the often semi-intelligible lyrics delivered by Yorke's thin, off-key voice, and the moony and sometimes torpid arrangements, I must admit that you are absolutely right, they're a great band.

{#Whisper}  Pssst - Radiohead bites.

More Aimless noodling in support of Thom Yorke's truly dreadful vocals.

Is this stationed owned by Radiohead? If not, they should buy it so they can play even MORE Radiohead. That would be hard to do but maybe they could eliminate everyone else completely and just play Radiohead. I like Radiohead but I have a CD I can play.
 

More Radiohead is what I say.
