Well maybe that's the basis of our difference. I owned Selmasongs for years before I finally got around to seeing Dancer in the Dark. Maybe I built it up in my head too much before seeing it because I heard such great things about the movie when it came out and I loved the soundtrack, but I was really disappointed by Dancer in the Dark as a movie. That is definitely something I'd put in the "overrated" category.

It's not that difficult to figure out.
Perhaps not agreeable. But it's an amazing voice, that's why it's "rated". I can't stand Mariah Carey's voice but she can obviously sing.

Are you sure you're not just being a fanboy here?

I don't think there's anything remotely amazing about his voice. It does the job but that's about it.

Dead sure. Thom Yorke has a very good voice.

As I said, check out the bit on Creep. Hell of a voice.

The guy can't sing. I can understand why some people would like him but it can't be that hard to figure out why some people don't. I've listened to a fair share of whiny voices in a number of genres, but I feel like for me personally, the hype is what ruined Radiohead for me. I went into listening to them expecting something super amazing, and the expectations weren't met.
