I do not like Radiohead

(1/23) > >>

Emaline:
I just don't see it. So many people have so many boners for them. I don't. I just don't see why people think they are so amazing. They're ok, but seriously. Why does everyone act like they are even near the same league as a group like.... The Beatles, for example? I can't stand to listen to them for much more than one song. I like a few singles, but I find their albums generally lacking. Is there something I am missing? Why does everybody worship them so much? I mean, I like weird, arty shit. I like mopey bastards. I like the idea of Radiohead, just not the music. I don't know. Someone care to explain it to me? Anyone else want to join me in my dislike of them?

Chesire Cat:
Emaline you know better than to make this thread.  Are we supposed to produce reasons for you to like them?  Or commiserate about how bad they are? 

It just plain lacks a sense of purpose.

*edit*

Having read the entirety of you post, I guess I was right, you did want both.  But I maintain this isn't going to go anywhere on its own.

Emaline:
No. What I am looking for is for somebody to give me a reason why people love them so much. I have never thought they were that original, or that different from anything out there. Maybe it's because I live in a small town, but everybody out here seems to think they are so much different from anything ever, and I just don't see it. They seem like just another generic rock band out there. Nothing too different from anything else on the radio. Maybe I'm missing something that does make them different. Am I mistaken in believing that they aren't very original? Are they doing something different?


If no one can provide me with that, I'd at least like to know I'm not alone. I mean, I guess I'd like to think that I listen to some pretty good music. I can be kind of a snob, admittedly. I always thought I had good taste, but it seems my dislike for Radiohead is contrary to that. I work at a record store. Everyone there loves them. I don't see it. Every music snob I know likes them. I almost feel dumb for not liking them, you know? I feel like I should like them. Does that make sense? It's like people expect me to. Like because of my taste, I should like them. I feel like people just expect me to like them because everyone everywhere does. Like white bread. Everyone loves white bread. They eat that shit up. But I don't. I don't like white bread. It tastes like bleach, or has no taste at all. It's bland. It's boring. I prefer wheat bread. And I want to know that I'm not alone in that.

Dunnoe:
Listen Emaline...ima tell you what one of my fashion blogger friends told me.

"Fashion is temporary, but style is forever." Make your own niche if you don't feel like you fit in any. Must you always do what others do?

Anyways I'm not sure if I fit in as a groupie, but I they are enjoyable when I want to listen to relaxing tracks. Or just look up their lyrics and see if you can find any subtleties that you might've missed whilst listening to them.

Tom:
I don't care that much about Radiohead, really I find them a little meh.
