    Radiohead

    Is it me or are they the most boring bland mind nummbing depressing band on the face of the earth. Listening to thier songs makes me want to shoot myself, i dont want to hear some guy whine over some slow pace mildly tune full cack. Most of the time it sounds like hes really constepated and is truing to squeeze out a log the size of a redwood.

    Sorry for the almost non-sensical rant but i had too get it off my chest, i HATE radiohead

    Also why does he sing in monotone? Does he think is sounds more interesting?

    Are you sure that you've not been watching "I'm a celebrity....." and listening to Peter Andre sing.

    Personally listening to Radiohead cheers me up, but then I appreciate decent well written music, and someone that can actually hold a note.

    I like Radiohead. A lot. Although I've only got their albums up to 'OK Computer'.

    And he don't always sing in a monotone, but with a passion. There's a lot of emotion in their songs, even soul, sort of.

    But beauty is in the earhole of the beholder. Each to their own

    Im agreeing with spaz on this one. Radiohead are the most boring band ever. I would happily put Thom Yorke out of his misery.

    To be pedantic, he used to be miserable, but now he's happy. Especially when a well endowed blonde flashed her breasts at him (with I love you Thom written across them) at their Glasgow gig date last November.

    As for boring, just listen to Lemars new single - now that IS boring!!

    It's seems Radiohead has lost it's way and make such arty experimental music

    I found the first album "Pablo honey" to be pretty good, then "The bends" to be amazing easily there best album! and o.k. computer to be a very good follow up.

    I thought "Kid A and amenesiac" were both pants, but there new album "Hail to the thief" to be a nice compromise between there more arty and there classics from the first three albums.

    And all i can say about being boring is some of there stuff in the last 3 years has been, but there older music is pure class and does not bore me at all

    radiohead are so boring and midle of the road, they never say anything interesting, they just reflect their safe boring middle england upbringing, like cold play only original. still tthe bends is a great album. But the Manics were the Sh*t! well back before they ate loads o pies and starting dressing like the man from c&a. Holy Bible is the best british album ever.
    And they weren't afraid to open their gobs. Uppity little marxist, cross dressing, gender bending proles from a provincial welsh town genius pure bloody genius!

    They were great!

    P.s.anyone who says Radiohead are radical cause they slag of Bush and Blair and support the dropping of 3rd world debt needs to stop reading the guardian!

    mind u at least they arent travis!

    I like them, but the earlier stuff is definately much better than the new. Karma Police is such a great song

    like the general concencus (amongst the pro radiohead peoples at least) i think their first three albums were absolutely brilliant, the bends in particular.

    then they got rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish. very very very dissapointing.
    ah well at least theres people like the datsuns and the hives around still making some damn good music

    I don't think there's any hope for me, I like Idlewild as well

    And The Manics had their moments, I'll agree, but I went right off them when that flash git singer, James Dean Bradfield, said he wished Michael Stipe would die of AIDS

    It was Nicky Wire who said that about Michael Stipe... in bad taste yes but then so is REM. lol

    But that is what made the manics great.. they opened their gobs and weren't afraid to offend unlike todays artists who seem to be struck dumb!!

    And Idlewild are great!! reflective without bein up their own arses.

    i hate this garage rock revival!!!! NME hyped middle class kack, all posing with no depth. Datsuns are poseurs with nothing to say, if i ever met them they'd be picking their marloboro's out of their arses.

    I like all of their albums, even the experimental ones, then again I used to listen to Celtic Frost, so perhaps I'm not always a good judge of music

    As for their views, I couldn't give a monkeys as I just listen to the music and enjoy the fact that they put a lot of emotion to it.

    When I saw them live last year there were lots of people running around with this and that petition, trying to get you to sign them. Strangley they seemed to avoid me after a while, though that was probably because word got round that I asked akward questions rather than just signing. The poor girl with the third world debt petition didn't know what to say when I started asking her about strategies for managing corruption and money siphoning in African economies.

    Then again pehaps it was the copy of the telegraph I was holding......
