Radiohead rocks!

When asked why he chose to speak out, Yorke said, "To make Blair squirm over his decision to take us into a illegitimate war (in Iraq) and follow this religious lunatic (Bush) toward a dangerous future for the whole planet...both of these men are liars. We have the right to call them such, they are putting our children's future in jeopardy. They are not controlling the terrorist threat, they are escalating it.."

3. I wish I liked them more than I do....
I have every single album. Seen them live at least 5 times. Read countless interviews with them. And while The Bends is one of my favorite albums ever, I just can't get into their newer, more self indulgent material. I think it's overrated masturbatory wankery.

But they seem like top notch dudes though.

4. Actually I like the post-OK Computer stuff as much as the early stuff
I'm probably out on a limb, right?

5. No, I think you are the majority....
I seem to be the one always pointing out that the emporer has no clothes in this case. But nobody wants to listen. Everyone I know just thinks they keep getting better and better and I think just the opposite. I give them an A for effort I just think they've gone too far away from the original vision they seemed to have.

7. I understand............

alot of the complaints about Kid A and Amnesiac but I love their music, in all of it's forms and I really like that Thom Yorke has been outspoken about the war in Iraq and WTO/Globilization issues.........

6. i doubt he'll make blair squirm
because blair doesn't care what rock stars think & bush doesn't even know who they are.

they do rock quite hard though.

8. I'm mad for RH.
Everything. I love all their stuff. I've seen them live and even took my kids when they were just 11 and 8 years old to a live show.

Thom is f*ckin' ace!!!!!!

Jonny, is probably the best rock musician in the world right now.

9. You guys should pick up their album "Hail to the Thief"
It's just a scathing criticism of politics and our culture today. Absolutely genius. Another masterpiece from the best band out there.
