I do not like Radiohead
Kill.kenada:
Hi, don't mean to jump in here.
But seriously, what's the big deal about her starting this thread?
It may lack the potential for riveting debate, but so what?
Don't read it or reply to it.
No need to have a go at her.
In response to the original post, I'm not overly keen on Radiohead either.

Well, you shouldn't. I love loads of stuff that a lot of people on here - and in some cases everybody in the known universe - think is awful. So just don't feel bad. Why care what people think? Plough your own furrow. If you're feeling like a douchebag for disliking a band everyone else likes, you probably are a douchebag.
Dazed:
I liked The Bends and Pablo Honey. I thought OK Computer was alright. I have pretty much hated everything by Radiohead since then. You are not alone or weird or anything, Emaline.
RE: Nickelback, their first album or two were actually kinda ok? I mean, very derivative, not amazing, but not vomit-inducing terrible.

I think the only Radiohead songs I've ever enjoyed were Knives Out and Paranoid Android.
Otherwise (and this seems a bit hypocritical coming from a dude that digs drone metal and the Japanese ambient scene), they're boring as all hell. Jens, can you believe we're agreeing on something in the music forums?
Sox:
Radiohead are so popular for the same reason as all the other popular bands. Big money is spent on getting their names out there and getting the music heard. The quality of the product has nothing to do with it. Similar bands to radiohead and been and gone, tried and failed. Not because they were any worse, but because they didn't have the financial backing to make people like them.
Yes, there are better bands than Radiohead. But that's tough to say if you've never heard of them.
