"I'm a creeeep..I'm a weirdo...I don't belong here"

You forgot the part about being the ringleader of a band that sells millions of albums and gets to wake up when you want and play a few shows every year.
Stop griping and cheer up you whinging gimp before someone slaps your pasty face, Thom Yorke.
Christ, that's not even how it's spelt..Thom...no, it's Tom.
Spelling it different doesn't make you special, and your voice is the kind of one that makes strangers want come to up and mash your hot-dog into your face on the street.

Ok, so you've written a couple of decent songs. But for chrissakes lighten up.
You sing funny, you look stupid and you are really, really miserable.
All the time.
Just once, wake up and realise that thousands of bands would happily kill to be where you are.

Oh, and Kid A and Amnesiac suck.
Sorry, but someone has to say that by the way.
OK Computer was a good album, but "Thom" got miserable and "Melody was my enemy".
Probably not the best time to be in a band then eh?
You could've spared us the knob-twiddling Warp imitation pap that masquerades as music.
Honestly, who actually likes Kid A and Amnesiac?
Pretentious beard strokers that can't admit that the flavour of the month has gone bad - that's who.
Here's some news for you Radiohead:
Whilst you were locked in your studio crying into your IKEA table-tops and bemoaning the fate of the world?

Muse came along and stole your songs and fans.

It's true.
Matt Bellamy may go "eeeaaaAAAARRGGHHh WOOOOOO" in every song, but he's enjoying it and they actually look like they enjoy being in a band.
So cheer up, stop listening to rubbish techno or change your name to Klaus and make full-time Kraut-Rock, because Radiohead of today is pants.

You have gone from the genius of Paranoid Android and Street Spirit, to the godawful self-indulgent w**k of Idiotheque and Hunting Bears.
God, we sound like Radiohead when we're tuning up, give us a fat advance and our singer can look like he's been punched in the balls and stay inside for a year reading Camus and No Logo.

I can't help but agree with you but I don't want to :)

Your right though... they're a bunch of moaning gits.

Kid A and Amnesiac when you look at them on their own are complete bollards...

Nation Anthem, How to Disappear Completely, Motion Picture Soundtrack (live) are not bad from Kid A... the rest is rubbish and they only get away with it being Radiohead.

Bah I usually support them 2 albums but I finally cracked. I really like Knives Out, I Might Be Wrong is quite good and Life in a Glass House is okay... Amnesiac is a bit better but nothing compared with Ok Computer and The Bends.

It keeps on being said, but Ok Computer is one of *those* albums closely followed by The bends... Pablo Honey is also good.

Next album is it for me... a repeat of the previous two and then its " I only like their earlier stuff " which would be a shame to say.

As I was saying Radiohead rule ;)

Damn you, making me judge them :)

My mate is a huge Radiohead fan, but thinks that Muse are just a cheap rip-off.

I dislike Radiohead a lot, but love Muse and he can't figure out why that is.

I try to tell him that Thom Yorke is a miserbale git who needs to go out for a pint and cheer up, but my mate keeps crapping on about "emotion in the song" and rubbish like that.

Pah!

Exactly.
Ok Computer is one of those albums that will be on top-ten lists forever.
Quality of songs, the overall feeling etc.
But then they ran straight up their own pipes and forgot why people liked them.

And Matt Bellamy could kick Yorke's puny, stupid face off in about 2 seconds.

Word.

Is that really how you spell 'whinging'? It's one of those words I tend not to use, because it doesn't look right...

Anyway, back to Radiohead.

When I bought The Bends I thought they were fantastic. Not one bad song on the album. I went out and bought Pablo Honey, but wasn't overly impressed, didn't have the same strength as The Bends, even though there were a couple of really great tracks.

OK Computer came along, and I was gobsmacked. It was an utterly amazing album, and I listened to it all the time.

But when Kid A came along I just didn't get it. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't sound good. They became more annoying in interviews, and I just can't be bothered to listen to their new stuff. It's dull.

Muse definitely seem to be enjoying themselves, and Origin Of Symmetry is a great album, worth listening to. It's fun, and doesn't make you scratch your head, and think 'why?'
