Anyone else like this band? I feel them really relaxing / easy to listen to. If you havent heard them I suggest you check them out

One of the greatest bands of our time. Kid A is a masterpiece. I'll admit that it took me a little while to admit to myself how good they were, because Radiohead ultra fans always kind of annoyed me, but the music is really good.

Radiohead Ultra! would look great on a shirt

but yeah, I like them a lot, all of their stuff. I've recently been listening to more inde rock, but I nonetheless am convinced they are one of the few bands that completely deserves what fame they have.

I've been a fan for a few years now after a friend told me about them. One of the few great bands left.

Vastly overrated. But a good band nonetheless.

Kid A and OK Computer were good albums.

Pretty overrated, possibly a bit too big of a fanbase, but they have a lot of good music.

Then agian you could say the same about tool and I love them

I hate this "anti-trend trend".. who cares if they are overrated, who cares who does and doesnt like them! If you listen and like them, then continue listening to them!!

What does that have to do with anything? How does the number of people who also like something affect how much you like something? Do you profess to hate chocolate ice cream just because too many other people love it?

I kind of agree. There's a certain mindset out there, that does two things:

1. Reject all mainstream music because I don't like the kind of people I see who are into it. I'm special, dammit!

2. Reject bands that lots of other people "in the know" like in order to show how much indie-er-than-thou they can be, how much hipper they can be. I'm *really* special, dammit!

I'm NOT saying that's what happened here or directling that at anyone in particular, but I do see it a lot. I used to be *a little* like that too when I was in my teens, but you do grow out of it, trust your own tastes and stop caring what the other guy might think of *your* music. Cheers.

preaching to the choir, buddy.

Radiohead are special because when they got famous, they didn't spend the cash on drugs and women and cars, but instead decided to put the money and time into getting better equipment, pioneering new production techniques and improving their playing. They are an example of a band who has dealt with international superstardom in the best way possible; when the fans expecatations rise, they not only change their sound drastically but maintain or raise the high standards that got them those fans in the first place. They obviously intelligent and quite skilled, but when it comes to their careers and their lifestyles it seems that they are quite down to earth.

OK Computer and Kid A are probably a couple of my favorite albums of all time.

I like Radiohead a lot, but "relaxing" isn't the first word that comes to my mind.
