An excerpt "

After nearly two decades they remain the most relevant band alive because of the remarkably innovative body of work they have created.   It’s the way they make music.  The way they deliver their music.  The way they change their music.  In Rainbows, their 2009 gem of an album was released 20+ years into their existence yet it’s one of the most hip record of the past 5 years with just the right amount of glue to make it stick for years to come.  No other band on the list of contenders can do that – not after 20 years in existence.  Other bands deserve strong consideration on the topic:  the Rolling Stones, Nirvana, U2, R.E.M., Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin.  But let’s stick with Radiohead.  They are the most influential band since the Beatles with a reputation that is cemented near the top.  Their musical styling influences nearly every reputable sect of the music-listening public.

 
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Since ... Ha HA Ha hahha AH ... the Beatles. BAAHAHAHAHAAhaha. Oh god, you almost had me thinking you're serious.  Stone bwa ha ha  Dylan HA HA HA Zeppelin Ha HAHA. Stop it! You're too funny!!!!

Any RH song = one catchy (maybe!) groove, noodled into tedium, topped off with the painful rectal itch that is Thom Yorke's voice. What genius!

Kid A is probably one of Radiohead's most underrated albums. I'm an "OK Computer nadir" fan — for a long time I resolutely believed they peaked with OK Computer as the summation of their musical prowess and creative writing, with nothing subsequently released exceeding that output (it's still my bestest and most favouritest Radiohead album). I bought the album on release, took a listen and put it in the CD rack for several months as it was just too much of a breakaway from the sound of an album I've listened to several hundred times, if not more.

However, the more often I sit down with RH's more recent discography and contemplate it through listening, the more I come to enjoy their more abstract, electroacoustic stuff. It's good that they diverged from their previous work before they became permanently shackled to it.

(Like me) the band's become more introspective and subtle with their approach as they've got older.

I Bought Kid A at release (got the version with the booklet underneath the tray); I was more than a little nonplussed at first listen. Where did the guitars go? However this album slowly reveals itself to you. Perhaps I had to just give it time after first opening to let it breathe (like a fine red, no?) — today it hits the spot.

Some tracks are a little more indecipherable but reading into the lyrics helps a lot; the off-kilter time signatures and abrupt switches of instrumentation and FX can jar you out of the kind of trance induced by previous records like OKC... But it's a thoroughly good album which stretches the mind on first plays and rewards on subsequent ones.

IMHO whilst Kid A is, overall, bettered by Amnesiac - the achingly beautiful time signature and chordal progressions of Pyramid Song have brought stronger men than me to tears - Kid A was an inspired debut of their 'new' sound and has some remarkable tracks on it, in particular Everything In Its Right Place. It deserves a second (and third, and fourth...) listen if you've closed your opinion to it. Give it some air, eventually it will reward you.

The Robert Glasper Trio does a really interesting cover of this, integrating it with "Maiden Voyage". Cool idea - has a very different feel to it, like an incantation. Worth checking out.

A solid point...  however I love Radiohead.  If I remember correctly, Kid A was voted the best album of the decade by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork.com, and several other music publications.  I don't know about "best" but I'm not sure what album I'd put ahead of it.

On a side note...  Nobody Likes Goliath would be a fantastic band name.

ahh... sheer bliss.   good stuff Bill.  Good stuff.  The piece is exemplary of why Radiohead is so much better than most other bands of its time.  Great music that doesn't follow some boring success formula.

I don't usually read listener comments or user comments.  Find them mostly unhelpful.  But I had to find out who did this song, saw all the "negative" comments and knew I had to buy the the album.  Thank you to all who helped me make my mind up!

Was enjoying the track from Apocalyptica but then it segued into this. I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed that I didn't notice the transition or that this dirge made me stop working to see why such a great track had detriorated. {#Frustrated} Please, no more. Especially on a Friday which is supposed to be a happy day. After all the weekend is coming.

It is a very interesting piece, but can be a bit grating at 0800 on a Friday morning.

I wonder how cooking to this music would work out... I prefer Jazz for cooking, normally, but I believe this would work well, too...

It is depressing when you mute more often than you listen, Jools, but as we both know the crap sequences are far outweighed by the brill ones. Funnily enough, although I can't be doing with Thom Yorke, I really do like the innovative band behind him. To be fair, he's far less whiny in this than other Radiohead numbers, and to my surprise the Nottingham jury awards a 7 rating and doesn't feel like slapping Yorke around the chops with a wet fish :o)
