Seconded.Rammpants said:I expect I'll be alone in saying Radiohead. But it needs saying. Boring, plodding, self-obssessed twaddle. Did I say self-important? Why there was never a Radiohead backlash I'll never know. Never seen them live though. Maybe it's a live thing. But lawks their records are dull.
But at least the Manics and Oasis have better tunes.Dubversion said:i don't like Radiohead - i think they're really dull and fall far short of their ambitions. But they do actuallY HAVE ambition, which makes them (slightly) better than people like the Manics, Oasis etc

And what sort of grown man calls himself 'fruitbat'.ohmyliver said:I had a few early Carter USM singles signed (as I was a roadie for sussex university ents committee once) ... a couple of years ago I sent an email to their fan club asking how much are they worth, and got a hugely angry email from fruitbat (who is running the club) saying how dare I sell the records, didn't I like them, and that it represented the best years of his life?
It seems slightly egoistic and sad to end up running your own fan club
The only thing more dull than Radiohead is their bloody fans too.Orang Utan said:Yes, very dull:

Sixth form poetry dressed up as a poor mans St Etienne, who are a poor enough band as it is.
And by Christ, she just couldn't sing.
She's now in an electroclash outfit called Client with some other lass, wears tight leather skirts and together they sound pretty good.
There is hope.

The Cult are immortal for the genius that is Love Removal Macheeayne. The Cure have much to answer for but Boys Don't Cry and Just Like Heaven are slices of pop brilliance.finalstryke said:omg... how could I forget to mention:
