God I hate that word.

Only stupid people.

Unique, weird, is there a difference?.... They are both different words for unusual.

Basically what im saying is, Radiohead are unusual.

Their fans will probably say "no they are a very normal sounding band" but thats just some bullcrap they make up to make themselves seem normal, but of course they're not, or else they wouldnt be f*cking listening to Radiohead.

I think weird is a lesser word for unique.

My french teacher listens to Radiohead.

She's southern white trailer trash. She thought Stereolab was weird. Radiohead aren't really very out there.

I guess the avant-jazz stuff does throw you off a little, and maybe I've just listened to too much weird music and am completely detached, but for the most part it seems like a pretty listener friendly song. Basic drumbeat, basic bassline, spacy synth reminescent of Neu!, and lightly distorted vocals.

I guess the reason I don't see Radiohead as "weird" is because while I'm listening to it there is no element to the music that really puts me off. If you really listen to it I guess you can hear some "strange" elements that people aren't used to appearing in mainstream music, but it never really feels weird while you're listening to it.

I guess it might just be me.
