    Not while Warrant's and WASP's back catalogues are still available.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I would love to hear an entire album of songs like Idioteque, partly because it's awesome and partly because it would piss off the pre-Kid A crowd so much.

    the national anthem for me varies significantly live...it really varies depending on the sources that jonny finds and how much he's utilizing them throughout. idioteque is pretty similar throughout any given tour, though they've sorta changed it up this last time around and i enjoyed it.

    hard to say. because it's very hard to beat this in my book:

    i'm more of a "Morning Bell" kind of guy. The Kid A version, not Amnesiac.

    I quite love that term "conservative dullards" and plan on using it in daily conversations whenever possible - thanks! I think that a lot of us that were big Radiohead fans from the beginning find it hard to let go of the Bends and OK Computer era. Most of us oldies, myself including, think of those two albums as their best. That being side, I enjoy their newer material also. I would rate Hate to the Theif as their third best album. And I like In Rainbows a lot. I just thought they pushed the envelope a bit much on Kid A and Amnesiac, although there were great songs on those albums as well. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

    Thing is, I don't understand that train of thought. Even if I didn't listen to them when they came out, my listening of Radiohead started with OK Computer (which I did listen to when it came out), then back to Pablo Honey, My Iron Lung EP, The Bends and THEN Kid A. I just connected with the post-OK Computer stuff more than the pre-OK stuff. You could argue that their place within their time and the atmosphere in which they were released is important so it would make sense that a person who came of age, musically speaking, post-OK Computer would prefer that stuff but I try to view music purely on the music itself and I too knew their earlier stuff first. For me, they got chronologically better up until Amnesiac.
