Radiohead: Boring, Over-rated or just Lame?

[bazza]

Got to be about the most boring band around, yet critics rave about them.

I think they are totally boring and their fans are some of the lamest people around.

Everyone reckons they are good, but nobody can tell you why

All of the above :-$

i like some of there songs
ie - creep, but they arent close to being one of my favorite bands

I love it. Why? Because I like the sound if that's alright with you...

 

[King of the Hill]

Easily the best band of the 1990s and currently continuing their good form

Most boring band of all-time is Tool. I assumed that was a well accepted fact.

If only their music had stopped being listened to in the 90s - that would be at least some relief

I love some of their earlier stuff - The Bends and OK Computer are great CD's.

But I have not been into them since OK Computer.

Just starting to get a bit boring, and sounding the same.

In my opinion, Muse have now taken the mantle that they held in the 90's with that kind of music.

bazza sumed it up pretty well, they are boring and all of what bazza said. Their only decent song was Creep.

Band of the 90s??? pfft :roll: :roll: :lol:

I really liked OK Computer. Silent and Karma Police are my favourite songs.
And as least they write their own original material.

not boring, not lame. over-rated at times but not too badly. its radiohead fans that give radiohead a bad name.

 

[King of the Hill]

Creep isnt even a really good song. People who only listen to their singles a couple of times dont really have a clue. Listen to their albums several times over and then you'll see.

OK Computer, The Bends and Hail to the Thief are their best IMO.

It's not that Radiohead are "starting to sound boring" - I'd suggest they are just too intelligent for you to get.

Radiohead are f**king brilliant. 'Hail To The Thief' was easily the best album of 2003, and their tour this year was 100 times better than Muse, who started as a massive Radiohead rip off and haven't progressed much further than that.

The Bends is the best album of the 90's - thats a given. OK Computer is a great album as well, the best bits of Kid A and Amnesiac would have made probably the best album of this decade rather than 2 good albums. If anything Pablo Honey is their worst album.

If all you like about Radiohead is Creep - you need to actually listen to them rather than bag a band that influences alot of modern day music that you hear every day.

Radiohead are tops.

CC - it took me a long time to really understand Kid A...after seeing some of it done live I have a new found respect for the album. It's a band pushing boundaries and looking to revolutionise their sound. I agree there is a bit of filler in both Kid A and Amnesiac - thats why I said if they combined the best parts of both album it would be an amazing piece of work.

I don't understand someone before saying Radioheads work begining to sound the same...OKC sounds incredibly different to The Bends, Kid A and Amnesiac sound incredibly different to anything they have made, and then Hail To The Thief sound different again!

Radiohead are a bit like Pearl Jam in some respects - people say that Pearl Jam have lost it because they go searching for a different sound each time they record. It's as though people actually want an album like Ten or Vitalogy every time they make an album! It would get incredibly boring very quickly.

I say thank god Radiohead have done more than make 10 years worth of Creep!

I really like Radiohead and Tool. If you don't, THEN DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!! It's hardly top-40 music and is not being jammed down your throat. And how often do you get a Tool or Radiohead elitist come up and talk to you? I never have and I often wear my Tool shirt.

Not a fan of Kid A though.
