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

Once again, I am vindicated in my choice to not listen

A long slog, but a well sourced and fantastic read.

I went to college in the early 90s and thought Chomsky was full if it back then. Glad to see others on the left voicing the same views.

I feel this so much these days. Like motherfucker why couldn’t you just be cool? Better to be silent than open your mouth and be known for a fool. I don’t look at celebrity news anymore because I’m running low on artists from my childhood.

It’s always kinda annoying when people on here shit on the quality of something when it’s found of they’re a shit person. It’s dumb.

I wouldn’t even call it bad taste, it almost seems like the lack of any taste at all.

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

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.

“Not a typical song of theirs” is an understatement. That whole first album is just sort of generic warm fuzzy sounding 90s alt-rock wall of sound stuff, and everything after that is weird experimental stuff that got progressively more incoherent over the years.

I mean so did the asshole who thought he’d be the guy to reprise a classic proto black metal soundtrack but in their defense I guess Trent Reznor was busy

Oh shit. I saw the original Suspiria last year and loved it, the soundtrack of course is a major character in the film and so cool. Since then I have been meaning to check out the teenage with Thom Yorke even though I hate Radiohead (Johnny Greenwood’s scores have been pretty good, so).

Good to know though
