I Don't Like Radiohead.

I honestly think they're the most overrated rockband ever. Ever.
If I should use one word to describe their music, it would be; BORING!
I consider myself to be a fairly open-minded person when it comes to music, but I just completely fail to see the appeal of this band.
I've listened to most of their albums and I've felt absolutely nothing.
Am I the only one here?
And please, feel free to explain why they are regarded as one of the best bands today.

But to honour your request, I like them because they make music that appeals to me. simple as that.
I had not noticed any other ones.
Sorry but these threads make me laugh lol
Nail on head lol
you can pretty much expect one a week when a new album is out
I saw this trend when the new Pumpkins came out in the summer

They are hailed as one of the best bands because for a 90's era band, their music was very unique and different. They didn't follow a mainstream trend like the majority of major labels want. There are bands today that do what they want and make music influeneced by radiohead but for Radio heads time it was unique breath of fresh air, the music they had created. In the states, they aren't from here, so when we get to see them live, the shows are garanteed a sellout here for sure, though they probably sell out everywhere.

Not so much for the In Rainbows thing though. It was a great idea but it seems pretty redundant to release it on CD and I-Tunes now. I think Trent Reznor had something to say about that, but I forget the quote...

Fantastic.
I find Radioheads music dirge boring.But mostly can't stand Thom piss and moan York.He's a lucky man doing what he does (however boring I think it sounds) with thousands of other musicains and fans working to get the acclaim he and the band get and EVERY interview I have read/saw all he does is piss and moan about his privacy and dislike of the industry that has made him very wealthy.
Ed got caught in this trap of decryiny his fame in the past but never with as much zeal as Thom York.
Still I don't need someone to tell me why they would like Tool or Kiss or Nickleback.
What I like about these kind of threads is they usually turn into appreciation threads. Especially if they are a much appreciated band. And I'd say Radiohead is in the top 5 or at least top 10 of liked bands here.
not being rude but i bet Radiohead couldnt give a fuck if you liked them or not
No shit.
thats right
I cant understand the 'Radiohead are boring argument', its such a stale statement....theyre anything BUT boring.....fair dos you dont like them, theres nothing wrong with that, but musically, to me as a musician also, they come up with some of the most interesting sounds out there.....
Here's some bands I find boring MUSICALLY- Kiss, Nickelshit, Creed etc to me THAT is boring, same old riffs, posing in videos etc.....but then again Im the sort of person who prefers No Code to Ten and Vs so what do i know.....
They suck. In Rainbows sucks. Big time. Radiohead sucks.
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

you are so right, mate!!!
I am a proud Radiohead fanatic but I have stopped trying to convert people into Radiohead fans. I don't give a fuck who likes them - noone could stop me loving their music!
However I still haven't heard In Rainbows because I want to buy the CD to make my Radiohead collection complete!!!
Eddie: Dublin & London
Kinda reminds me of the scene on Zoolander....
Just listen to pyramid song a FEW times and maybe you might understand
I don't consider myself a radiohead fan by any means but I listen to the Bends and their new one all the time. That's all I have to say on radiohead. Like em or not, "Bones" is a kick ass song.
