The key problem with Radiohead is that they named themselves after a song by David Byrne’s Talking Heads. Don’t name yourself after a work by a far better artist. It’s just embarrassing.
He was a little hard on OK Computer, I think.
I think that you forgot the /s. Either that or you really don’t get good music.
Or more likely, that you haven’t watched Stop Making Sense and True Stories. I only wish that I had the opportunity to see Talking Heads live.
Talking Heads: Art students who became good musicians.
Radiohead: Good musicians who became art students.
Have you seen Byrne live? Oh man he is amazing, I saw him maybe 7 or so years ago when he kicked off a tour in Baltimore (his hometown, woot!) and it was like, ohmyglob.
Was that the Byrne plays Eno tour? I was there in Baltimore, and am very glad I went.
But to the point of naming your band after a TH song, why that one? There are so many better than Radiohead.
I’ve never watched Spongebob and this is goddamn hilarious.
