In this thread--yes, because as I posted a few messages up, I asked this be a "fans only" thread, just because I've grown wary of "radiohead suck" arguments, and you can't really change someone's mind, so they don't lead anywhere.
by the way - if you get a chance go see them live. they played dublin last month and one of my friends was lucky enough to go - and said they blew her away (especially johnny greenwood). hail.. is really growing on me and could easily surpass ok computer as my fave radiohead album. great stuff.
NOpe Bunny you are not alone. I just never *got* the radiohead thing beyond Kid A. Mebbe its cos I they struck me as bored rich boys who were too pretentious to make any real NOISE beyond a certain point in their careers - I don't know - I just know that the more smug Thom Yorke got the less easy it was for me to hear his voice in any form...

A mastery of their post-Ok Computer sound (Kid A and Amnesiac meant to be Hail to the Thief).
Shitty album title, if timeliness means anything. If Radiohead are social commentators, I'd get deeper messages from a "Letter to the Editor" section of a 1968 Playboy issue.
Otherwise, they're genius. Three thumbs up.
