Radiohead is the most overrated "band" of all time. They make pop music disguised as art and you faggots eat it all up like the retards you are. LISTEN, this shit is not NOT art. Everything they did with albums OK Computer and onward had been done MANY times before, but they just made them digestible for kissless virgin teens who think to delude themselves into thinking that their taste in music is a sign of intellectual superiority.
Thom Yorke is a jerk. He's puts on a facade of whatever he thinks will get him an in with the young'uns. The blonde and borderline autistic man he was in the Pablo Honey era, the quiet and mysterious yet """cute""" guy he pretended to be in the Alright Computer era, and then the enigmatic and politically driven individual he pretends to be now. But fools like you don't look past this obvious marketing ruse and think of him as the greatest genius of this generation.
I'd like to piss down the throats of everyone who thinks Radohed is a good band and make good music. Get some taste you fucking retards.
>“Does it remove the romance from their music?” he asks. “Of course not. I don’t think financial structures come into any musician’s head when they sit down at a piano, let’s put it that way. They can split the business side from the creative side. But this is the music business and that second word is important.”
radiohead are the only thing redeeming factor of a dying if not already dead genre of music. thats being generous if you still attribute radiohead with rock
Easton Johnson
>good business sense in an industry notorious for screwing over artists jeez, what a crime. their firms are even using tongue-in-cheek names like Random Rubbish, LLLP LLP and Unreliable LTD? only more evidence they're soulless corporate fiends...
Colton Cox
>LISTEN, this shit is not NOT art. Why not?
Cooper Bailey
>s-s-s-see they're only SLIGHT millionaires >they still like me r-r-r-right? >it's still not corporate bourgeois trash r-r-r-right? Radiohead is a pop band first, an "experimental" (if you can call them that) group second.
Jaxson Hughes
>this fucking thread again Is this going to become the new "You have ten seconds to name a rock band" or "does Sup Forums like death metal"?
I bet it was you who made this one too
Elijah Roberts
Give me a single instance where they've claimed their music is art. Their music is pop music, Thom's lyrics have no meaning and they've never claimed otherwise. This and similar faux avantgarde claims have no credibility.
Jacob Long
I know this. Problem is that Sup Forumstants like the ones groveling in this thread don't realize that and still try to defend Radiohead as "artful."
Jeremiah James
Yeah they are not "art" but name 3 better rock/pop bands with better songs, I would gladly listen to them.
Jackson Bennett
what, ANY fucking rock band? are you serious that's pathetically easy
Cameron Brown
Then name them if it's that easy
Josiah Green
Can The Velvet Underground The Beach Boys The Beatles Stereolab My Bloody Valentine The Fiery Furnaces
off the top of my head, limiting myself to rock bands
Angel Sullivan
How are they better?
Nathan Powell
"my taste is better than yours" - the thread
Jackson Davis
If you honestly haven't heard any of those artists you need to lurk moar you fucking newfag
John Collins
>If you honestly haven't heard any of those No I love most of those artists you just listed.
Now answer my question.
Brayden Collins
Can was more creatively formally, rhythmically, sonically
TVU was incredibly innovative largely thanks to John Cale, who is a much more provocative musician than anything by Greenwood
Beach Boys (Brian) wrote much more harmonically advanced music than anything by Radiohead
etc.
Anthony Barnes
>Can was more creatively formally, rhythmically, sonically But their songs were not as well composed >TVU was incredibly innovative largely thanks to John Cale, who is a much more provocative musician than anything by Greenwood See above >Beach Boys (Brian) wrote much more harmonically advanced music than anything by Radiohead I agree to that but I could point you to the MIU Album, which is absolute garbage, and there's lots of more garbage Beach Boys songs and albums
Lucas Brooks
>But their songs were not as well composed I disagree, I think Moonshake is better than anything in Radiohead's discography for instance. >See above youtube.com/watch?v=fU4G_8VYlOQ youtube.com/watch?v=53F5nY68cBM >and there's lots of more garbage Beach Boys songs and albums who gives a fuck, Radiohead sucks other than Kid A and TKOL really
James Howard
Good list but some bands being as good or making a notable achievement in their material doesn't really invalidate the consistency of Radiohead output.
Aiden Jackson
>name 3 better rock bands >does so >u-u-u-uh SO WHAT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT
fucking radiohead fans
Tyler Collins
I was actually agreeing with you in there being better bands, but just because some really talented artist are on another level doesn't mean that Radiohead music isn't good as OP was implying.
>come up with valid counter argument >w-who gives a fuck, Radiohead j-just sucks, rite guys?
Full on damage control
Luis Russell
>Again, there are very advanced in dissonance, but harmonically not very well-composed How? And by contrast how is Radiohead's work harmonically sophisticated?
Oliver Baker
Oh I see you don't know music theory.
Ethan Allen
I know more than you, and can say most of Radiohead's work rests on either a single chord, or only a neighboring chord. Very basic.
Evan Rivera
>I know more than you, Then chart out Paranoid Android and Sister ray and show us which is more sophisticate din voice leading and harmonic content
Nathan Wood
lol Sister Ray has plenty of variations with cluster chords, blatant tritone dissonance, and of course much more noisiness. obviously the base progression at the beginning is simple, that's the point of theme and variation you knob
Paranoid Android isn't that complex either. Most of it is tonic-dominant
Austin Hernandez
Ooops I didn't see you chart it out.
Try again
Joshua Hernandez
Have you done this already?
Parker Gonzalez
Yep.
But the burden of proof is on you since the initial claim is on your side of the argument.
I'm waiting.

>But the burden of proof is on you since the initial claim is on your side of the argument. Actually no, the initial post was this:
Ryder Martin
i give him credit for this:
Tom: "It’s not reported...
Thom: "No. Not really. I mean, go on the net, it’s everywhere! Um, but, but... anyway, it’s a strange atmosphere but actually one of... there’s quite a lot of hope out there, I think. It’s not as it seems from over here because people are so angry... the most angry they’ve ever been... in the U.S.
Tom: "Now, talking of angry that ties very neatly onto next track.
Thom: "(unintelligible)
Tom: "Mr. Angry himself, Mark E. Smith.
Thom: "Yeah.
Tom: "I understand he’s just recently fired the umpteenth line-up of The Fall.
Thom: "I think... Made the best records for ten years and then fired everybody... well done! Ah... that’s the way to do it. Um... but actually this is from... that is a sterling record, but this is like, my favourite one of recent years, and this is “Shake-Off”; it’s from The Marshall Suite. It’s just... you know... It should have been played everywhere all the time. This is like... this is The Fall doing disco, as far as I’m concerned.
Part 2:
Tom: "From the 1969 album Contact that’s Silver Apples with “Ruby”. And before that, you heard The Fall, from The Marshall Suite--1999 thereabouts--“Shake-Off”, both chosen by Thom Yorke...
