>Determined to form his own conclusions, Greenwood listened to the likes of Genesis, King Crimson and Pink Floyd, "though I didn't even bother with Yes, seeing as how they were met with so much derision."
>"It is all awful and terrible," Greenwood says, his brown eyes widening. "I found the one good Pink Floyd album, 'Meddle,' which is amazing, though that's supposedly the one that made Johnny Lydon say he hated them. I came out after listening to all these terrible Genesis records with the realizations that the Mellotron is a great instrument, and that you should never have a song with 'unicorn' in the title. So a few lessons were learned."
What did he mean by this?

hes an idiot
Alexander Torres
>make indie rock shit
>doesn't like prog
no surprises here
Ryan James
I like their music but why do Radiohead's members insist on being such snobs ?
Ayden Torres
Means prog rock is for gay nerds.
It's music to be laughed at.
Hunter Morgan
>>doesn't like prog
this is your reading comprehension on prog
Caleb Garcia
there is no genesis song with 'unicorn' in the title, what is he talking about
Wyatt Walker
>Prog rock is for gay nerds
so is Radiohead
Thomas Roberts
Who cares, I don't listen to Radiohead
Prog rock is for gay nerds.
Gabriel Hill
why does everyone here hate prog rock all of a sudden?
Parker Cox
The fans are sanctimonious cunts. And don't tell me to separate the artist from their fans, that's postmodern bullshit and music doesnt exist in a vacuum.
Dominic Harris
radiohead are a bunch of jerks t b h. but i suppose being the most lauded art rock act of a generation will do that to you
Ian Lopez
The worst King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, or Genesis song is better than the best Radiohead song. He was right about Meddle being a good album though.
The fans don't impact the music in anyway. You sound like a 14 y/o
Parker Wood
He also made fun of fans wanting higher than 160kbps.
>We had a few complaints that the MP3s of our last record wasn't encoded at a high enough rate. Some even suggested we should have used FLACs, but if you even know what one of those is, and have strong opinions on them, you're already lost to the world of high fidelity and have probably spent far too much money on your speaker-stands.
Robert Garcia
Considering they pay a big deal to their sound rigs at shows you'd think they wouldn't say shit like this.
Zachary Cox
wtf I hate radiohead now!?
Eli Flores
close to the edge is probably the best thing to come out of any of those bands
and John Lydon loved prog, he's admitted that his whole shtick was just for the sex pistols shock / image. Keith Levene (guitarist for PIL) was even a roadie for Yes before he joined the band
Mason Cruz
Every single member of Radiohead is a smug asshole
Wyatt Wright
>Part of the reason O’Brien is perceived as Radiohead’s designated rocker is that he’s the most interested in classic rock; he especially enjoys discussing U2, who appear to be Radiohead’s third-biggest musical influence (the first two being the Smiths, whom all five members love unequivocally, and the Pixies, from whose records Jonny Greenwood learned how to play guitar).
>I love the dynamic of musicians working together and all the voodoo shit that comes with it. It’s a complicated thing to do over the expanse of time, which is why I respect U2 so much. Don’t get me wrong–I adore the Stones, but they haven’t made a good record since 1972. Exile on Main Street was the last great Stones album. But U2 have been at it for 20 years, and that song ‘Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of’ was amazing. And that’s after 20 years. That’s when the Stones were making Still Life.”

Jeremiah Howard
They encode at 160? What the fuck is wrong with them?
Jack Fisher
I'm not even a FLAC sperg but it's inexcusable. They don't know what they're talking about. Anything below 192 or v2 is worthless.
