Because if not, you just claimed that Radiohead were not "ordinary" people and that in fact they were the ONLY people that could do what Radiohead do.

I think you just proved his point about Radiohead fans.

It was not a joke, I am 100% serious about my previous post.

(it was a joke, silly.)

but i am a Radiohead fan. :P

I'll admit they have done some duds. Like Amnesiac is pretty much the B-side disc of Kid A

Wait a minute, Urban didn't you once say that Once in a Lifetime changed your life?

That's like my least favorite song on the album too. And I don't really think it has THAT much world music elements, just the percussion and some of the vocal harmonies, like I Zimbra the world music stuff is subtle and it doesn't become a gimmick.

So tell me again why the first three albums are so great while somehow this is a steaming pile of puss spewing sh*t, give me a reason other than it being the most popular album.

I don't really think it's THAT much of a departure from Fear of Music, they took the best song from that album and expanded on some of the ideas explored in that. I don't think it's simply because of the world music influences that people consider it their best work, it simply has their strongest material, at least for a lot of people including me. Born Under Punches and The Great Curve are my top two Talking Heads songs.

It IS a transition album though. They really DID get really world music-ish with later albums.

Are you talking to me or to Urban here? I don't dislike Remain in Light, I just agree with Urban that it's somewhat overrated and that Fear of Music is a far superior album.

I realize this isn't an unpopular opinion at all, but that album really is awful.

And you get to sound like a moron. Better than I thought lulz epic.

Yes, that's exactly it.

And I kind of like Bob Dylan. His songs anyway. I don't think he's the best performer of his own songs though.
