On things Radioheaded.

[jsbowden]

So, Radiohead are supposed to be the greatest band since, like, ever, according to many, and change the whole face of Rock 'n Roll. I like Radiohead, and while they've had an obvious effect on Coldplay (who I think do that whole sound better personally), in general, I don't see much effect over the spectrum.

This is just a random thing that went through my head when the song I'm currently listening to started coming across the streaming feed, and I thought I'd share.

Comments?

EDIT: And yeah, I do know that thinking Coldplay are a better Radiohead than Radiohead makes me guilty of some sort of sin according to some people. Sounds like a personal problem on their part from here.

Don't even bother. I made some faintly disparaging comments towards Radiohead a while back, and there was much aorly indignation. I think he secretly hates me now. Whee!

Secretly?

(Har, har. I kid!)

Thhbbt.

(If it makes you feel any better, I have greater tolerance for the Radiohead on my iPod than I used to. And "Talk Show Host" is an awesome, awesome song.)

Thing is, I LIKE Radiohead, I just don't get the obsession I've seen over them. The music is good, but I've got a lot of other stuff I prefer over it.

There are some things in life, my dear Bowden, that we are just not meant to comprehend, and rabid Radiohead reverence is one of them. So it goes.
