most overrated bands.

I don't know how Radiohead can be over rated, 3 of their albums have been top notch 10/10 material. The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A are phenominal. And the others are far better than the majority of what is released today. Claiming that they are over rated sounds like nothing more than a cry of "they are too popular for me to like them".

Or it's a cry of "Everyone says their material is top notch 10/10 material" when they're really just long winded and really fucking boring.

long winded and boring? Do you like any songs that are over 2 minutes long?
it is easy to praise them when you look at all of the shit that was making it big in the "alt-rock" market at the time The Bends and OK Computer were released. Especially OK Computer, talk about something completely unique at the time.

Oh man, look, I really like Radiohead a lot too, but you are gonna get raped for saying that in here.
Just... you're not going to change anyone's mind. These people declared war on Radiohead when Thom Yorke was in elementary school; they said "If some British motherfucker with crippling paranoia, a fondness for falsetto, and a lazy eye starts a band and makes songs about technological dystopias, I swear to God I'll hate them for as long as I live."
And they said this while they were in the womb.

People forget that there was a time when there was no Radiohead and everything had gone to shit.
Be thankfull for what you have and realise that just because you have decided to hate a band doesn't mean they have made a valuable contribution to the world of music as a whole.

Excuse me? I do believe a very good portion of my music happens to be made up of really long tracks, some up to a good hour or so. (woo for prog rock/metal and jam bands!) The problem I have with Radiohead? They're boring. Simple as that. The whiny nasal vocals, the pretty below average guitar (or lack thereof, in the case of Kid A/Amnesiac) and overall, compared to what I listen to, really boring.
Course, then again, I liked this band back when they were called the TALKING HEADS.
EDIT: Soak: wow. Just... wow. I seriously hope there's sarcasm in that post, becase if there's one thing I dont' need lectures about, it's things like "Even if you don't like them, you have to realize what contributions they've made to music". Shut the fuck up. Seriously.
sjbrot:
I honestly don't believe that Radiohead have influenced anyone of note, especially when you find out that people like Tommy Lee and Wes Borland are fans and that hasn't affected their sounds at all.
On the other hand, some people seem to hate Radiohead for the simple reason that they get press.
