| Many positive opinions i heard about them, but since they are a rock band i dont see whats the big hype. I heard one song "Karma police" which was nice, but what do you really see in them? |

Radiohead is my favourite band. In fact, I probably got into electronic music because of them. I wouldn't call them rock exactly because their last two albums barely had any guitar in them. I find I like them because their songs are just good. Their style is original, the melodies are beautiful and the lyrics are often thought provoking. These are some of my favourite Radiohead songs in no order of preference off the top of my head:
Rock:
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Fake Plastic Trees
Just
Paranoid Android
Anyone Can Play Guitar
Bulletproof..I Wish I Was
Let Down
Lucky
High and Dry
Electronic:
Optimistic
Like Spinning Plates
Pyramid Song
Idioteque
Knives Out
I Might be Wrong
Kid A
Everything in its Right Place (Heard in many James Holden and Hybrid sets, probably many others too...)
They're coming out with a new album in June called "Hail to the Thief." I hear it's more like their older stuff than their newer stuff, but I'll be buying it for sure, Radiohead is awesome!!!

rock is nice when we are talking about classic. Todays rock is just garbage. When i heard that Radiohead is rock i didnt even bother checking them out. Now that i hear they are some electronic influence i may see what they got.
And since i know that they are from UK, they got to be talented. |

:rolleyes:
just for clarification...
they were once rock.. classic rock
but later, recently, they have had more electronica influence
i think you might be referring to satan's crap which they massively produce and label 'nu-metal' |
