Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

Honestly I just grew up listening to them and singing them. I’m a hobbyist singer and Thoms vocal range and tone fits my voice perfectly. I’ve been singing Radiohead songs in my car and living room and in karaoke bars for like 15 years. It’s not gonna be replaceable unfortunately.

I’ll have to go back to everyone thinking I’m a weirdo by singing They Might Be Giants songs instead. NOBODY RUIN THEM FOR ME TOO FFS.

People make fun of me for being a DJ but EDM is all I’ve got left after the bands I grew up with keep getting rightfully cancelled

I also hate They Might be Giants. I don’t think they did anything wrong, I just think they’re the progeny of nerdy band kids being quirky and writing the Juno soundtrack. Radio head taught band geeks they could make pretentious and boring rock music.

I’m EDM neutral outside of goth shit, most is too outside of my range of taste to have any meaningful thoughts.

I sound like Robert Smith when I sing and it’s hard to not do a fake British accent while doing so

Oh yeah I mostly love TMBG because of how fun they are to sing and how annoyed people get when you do. They’re so nerdy and that’s fun to me. I chose to lean into my nerdiness rather than shy away from it decades ago

You can hate TMBG if you want but if they’re not politically bad then, like, nobody cares, it’s kind of just your opinion. And like with all music, a really subjective on at that.

Noticing you seem very effected by fanbases and particularly which highschool cliques were into something between this and the Death Note thing. Personally i would advise against that type of thinking.

TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you’re good there

If you like them and RH, there’s a good chance you’d like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I’m getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.

I really like the wailing yeah haha. Thanks for the suggestion and the affirmation that TMBG are still good!

In the Court of the Crimson King is one of the albums tbh, most people will at least find it interesting.

Saying that, I really like King Crimson. I haven’t listened to every album yet, but I like Three of a Perfect Pair and THRAK quite a bit, despite them being albums that aren’t often talked about. I need to listen to Larks Tongues in Aspic, because I quite like parts III and IV from ToaPP and The Construkcion of Light.
