I agree just indie... it is annoying how critics automatically feel obliged to rant about everything these bands do...

I think parts of Radiohead's work is over rated...
but I don't hear their songs blasted on the radiohead all the time every where I go like I hear with Cold play and U2 and Snow patrol...

I have yet to hear anything from Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the thief and In Rainbows on main stream day time radio...

I would agree that yes Radiohead can afford to take risks and be as uncommerical as they want even give away albums for free should they choose, choose not to release any singles from their albums (Kid A) where other bands are at the mercy of record sales...

There was a time when U2 would experiment Achtung Baby push boundaries now they, like R.E.M seem to release rather bland imitation of past successes.

For me Coldplay and Snowplay are playing safe.

At least Radiohead are taking risks... while the industry is playing safe... that might be key to why they are held in high regard.

this is a silly thread, i'm only going to contribute to get my rating up. if you don't like the band, or you think they're overrated, then why are you taking the time to complain about them in a post? what are you so threatened by? what are you afraid of? what worries or concerns you so much? radiohead at the gorge in george, wa 6/23/01. unreal.
