Radiohead
msouva:
I really just tend to be the person who finds Thom Yorke to be a decent singer with really intersting electronica ideas that he incorperates quite well into his music.
And the music... I also find the music to be wonderful, interesting, requiring some thought and taste for their style.
I personally think that, while OK Computer is their best album by a longshot (with Paranoid Android being just amazing), all of their stuff from The Bends on (including Kid A and Amnesiac) has been very interesting, very unique music that just hits me square in the ears. I love it. The slow, lengthy, difficult songs, the random songs, the electronic songs... all of it appeals to me.
And I really think people who call Coldplay a similar band to Radiohead are foolish. Coldplay wishes they could be Radiohead.

Basically: Radiohead: Better than Limp Bizkit, not the most original band in the past 20 years.

Although Yorke better not try rapping anytime soon.
How can they be the most original band in the past 20 years? What about all the countless bands and musicians that have invented whole genres in that time?
What about fucking Skyclad? We are talking approximately seven billion squillion times better than Radiohead when we talk Skyclad.
Kai:
I'm more of voicing my opinion on the band in general; they're usually called prog, so whatever. I don't personally think they're the most orignal band in the past 20 years, they haven't influenced popular culture as much as he says (Which is, despite me saying it, a shame; I'd rather have just "Meh" prog rock on the Radio than Green Day.)
Gryff:
Well, I love Radiohead's music, but you are really making a huge overstatement when you say stuff like "ZOMG most original band EVAR!"
They are a very talented lot, but for some reason lots of people don't like them because they're either (a) "too much experimental noodling. Why don't they do more stuff like Ok Computer?" or (b) "not experimental enough. They sound like every other British rock band".
Whatever. I think Kid A has got to be one of my favourite albums of this century.
Kid Amnesiac:
Dream Theatre is better than Radiohead? Motherfucking DREAM THEATRE?! Wow.......
Khar and Kai, you both should be stabbed in the ear. You're obviously not using them correctly.
