Honestly the first time I heard Radiohead I didnt think much of them. First album was the Bends and through my first listen there was only a couple of songs that I liked. Then I listened again awhile later and started to like it more, then I got In Rainbows and started falling in love.

Well yeah it wasn't like love at first listen, because I had heard Creep a million times. But once I actually started listening to them for real I became obsessed.

So you only started to like Radiohead when In Rainbows came out? Thats weak.

No this was a couple of months ago. In Rainbows was just the 2nd Radiohead album I bought

I see. In Rainbows is the only Radiohead album I have yet to buy (not including Pablo Honey) but I don't plan on buying that.

I've always wondered if the band actually hates Creep like they say they do, or if they're just saying it for the sake of distancing themselves from their old sound.

Probably trying to distance themselves from their old sound. There was a huge change in their attitude when OK Computer started doing well. Their live performances lost quite a bit of fun and they suddenly became a bit too serious (read up themselves a tiny bit).

Of course, they're still good now but they, and most of the crowd, take them a bit too seriously and the live shows aren't as appealing as they once were.

i think i disagree.

i think they've just matured. the IR tour was beautiful, and by far the best show i've ever been to.

Macs are just as fast PCs. People just tend to have older PCs, where as Mac users buy a new laptop every year :P

I've listened to all of Radiohead's albums and I still don't get them.
