I agree with Keith Jordan, Radiohead is a very good band but overrated :/
I frequent a lot of forums and you can read in every music-related topic how Radiohead is the best band ever. They have a lot of bad stuff in my opinion.. and I hate the leadsinger's voice
"OK Computer" is a really wonderful album, BUT WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH "Fitter Happier"?? hehe
My favourite song by them is "Karma Police"... it's sooo awesome
And.. Has any of you listened to "Idioteque"? How did you like it?
their next album is gonna be great. first gig i ever saw was radiohead on their amnesiac tour and they literally blew me away. and for anyone who thinks they are overrated watch this video;

You heard the live version?Onceyou hear a live version you can never go back to the studio one
Yeah, I've heard a version from SNL and seen the "music video". It's cool when the guitar comes in towards the end of the song, to make some weird sounds. Thom's voice in that song is brilliant!
Location: Dylan Moran as Bernie, in whom Ray Davies meets Pete Doherty. Otherwise, Tallinn, Estonia.

I loved OK COmputer when uit came out (still like it now I guess.)
I was SO excited when Kid A was released with all the great reviews. I bought it, put it in my CD played and...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!!??!?!!
COmplete and total shit and drivel.
It has to be the worst pile of steaming shit I have ever heard!!!!
It was agonizing to listen to. Droning unstructured electronic noise. SOunded like a bunch of chimapnzees with el cheapo RadioShack electronic keyboards.
Location: Edinburgh or Aberdeen depending on the time of year

I would say Kid A was their strongest work personally, but each to their own. I reckon it was great to hear mainstream music that was challenging people again.
I found it excellently atmospheric and hugely original with every song logically following the next making it a real album rather than a collection of songs. Lots of variation, outstanding vocals too and competent enough. It was a sure sign of a band that were not afraid of progressing and really evokes all sorts of moods and feelings in my opinion
In saying that i appreciate that it was certainly not to everyone's taste and certainly split the fanbase
I'm sorta in the same camp as Ton Up Alvis, though I wouldn't really say I hated Kid A. I loved OK Computer, thought it was a brilliant album, but Kid A just didn't really strike me anyway. I do love challenging and experimental music, but it sounded more like genuine imitation experimental music to me, like they were trying too hard to do something really different. Far from it sounding random, I found it quite structured, and perhaps that was the problem...it was too forced, too static to me. But that's just my opinion. I have heard opinions that run the complete spectrum on Kid A, which I can give it credit for...it caused controversy and debate...which is cool.
