Hmmm...not sure if I can agree with that. However I understand how Thom Yorke's voice can turn off some listeners...and Radiohead seems to polarize people as indicative by this thread.

Personally, I think Thom Yorke is a genius, and you could put me on a deserted island with nothing to listen to but OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac...and I would be happy.

I am surprised that given your enthusiasm for Pink Floyd you are not into Radiohead in the fact that both bands 'march to the beat of their own drummers' when it comes to making great art and concept albums.

There are many many bands out there who are experimenting with sounds and textures and making great albums other than Radiohead. 'Concept' albums don't particulary do much for me personally. I would much rather listen to bands like Archive, Porcupine Tree and Kayo Dot who experiment within a traditional format.

This is the problem I have with Radiohead. I don't dislike them but the fact that there is so much good music out there that goes out relatively un noticed starts to build up a resistance to Radioheads music.

OK understood. You make a good point that I can not argue with.

BUT you still should try to see them live...you wont be disappointed.

I think that Muse has a lot of Radiohead influences yet Muse still sounds fresh to me...not directly emulative, which is always a good thing IMHO
