Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.
Once again, I am vindicated in my choice to not listen
I feel vindicated in choosing to never read Chomsky

Massive Attack in the meantime is going beast mode on Twitter sharing stuff like this:
Lots of people hating on Radiohead here. I fuckin love Radiohead so this really sucks. Now I need some new karaoke songs too ffs. Why couldn't they just be cool
Why couldn't they just be cool
I feel this so much these days. Like motherfucker why couldn't you just be cool? Better to be silent than open your mouth and be known for a fool. I don't look at celebrity news anymore because I'm running low on artists from my childhood.
I don't even know what half my favourite music artists look like for this reason.
It’s always kinda annoying when people on here shit on the quality of something when it’s found of they’re a shit person. It’s dumb.
What do you like about them? I'll find you something better.
Honestly I just grew up listening to them and singing them. I'm a hobbyist singer and Thoms vocal range and tone fits my voice perfectly. I've been singing Radiohead songs in my car and living room and in karaoke bars for like 15 years. It's not gonna be replaceable unfortunately.
I'll have to go back to everyone thinking I'm a weirdo by singing They Might Be Giants songs instead. NOBODY RUIN THEM FOR ME TOO FFS.
People make fun of me for being a DJ but EDM is all I've got left after the bands I grew up with keep getting rightfully cancelled 
I also hate They Might be Giants. I don't think they did anything wrong, I just think they're the progeny of nerdy band kids being quirky and writing the Juno soundtrack. Radio head taught band geeks they could make pretentious and boring rock music.
I'm EDM neutral outside of goth shit, most is too outside of my range of taste to have any meaningful thoughts.
I sound like Robert Smith when I sing and it's hard to not do a fake British accent while doing so
Oh yeah I mostly love TMBG because of how fun they are to sing and how annoyed people get when you do. They're so nerdy and that's fun to me. I chose to lean into my nerdiness rather than shy away from it decades ago
You can hate TMBG if you want but if they’re not politically bad then, like, nobody cares, it’s kind of just your opinion. And like with all music, a really subjective on at that.
TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you're good there
If you like them and RH, there's a good chance you'd like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I'm getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.
Kill your heroes
jonny greenwood was caught liking terf tweets a few years back fuck em 
We're reaching levels of cancel culture that shouldn't even be possible
I feel validated for never liking radiohead now
I'm certain they're fucking awful. I've only heard Creep and I know it's not a typical song ofntheres, but I know for an absolute fact they're fucoing trash
I've only heard Creep and I know it's not a typical song ofntheres
"Not a typical song of theirs" is an understatement. That whole first album is just sort of generic warm fuzzy sounding 90s alt-rock wall of sound stuff, and everything after that is weird experimental stuff that got progressively more incoherent over the years.
There really ought to be a comm where people post their favorite artists and then we ruin it for them

kill ur heroes
OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.
Can you elaborate lol
[makes a fart noise with his butt]
The album's lyrics, written by Yorke, are more abstract compared to his personal, emotional lyrics for The Bends. Critic Alex Ross said the lyrics "seemed a mixture of overheard conversations, techno-speak, and fragments of a harsh diary" with "images of riot police at political rallies, anguished lives in tidy suburbs, yuppies freaking out, sympathetic aliens gliding overhead." Recurring themes include transport, technology, insanity, death, modern British life, globalisation and anti-capitalism. Yorke said: "On this album, the outside world became all there was ... I'm just taking Polaroids of things around me moving too fast." He told Q: "It was like there's a secret camera in a room and it's watching the character who walks in—a different character for each song. The camera's not quite me. It's neutral, emotionless. But not emotionless at all. In fact, the very opposite." Yorke also drew inspiration from books, including Noam Chomsky's political writing, Eric Hobsbawm's The Age of Extremes, Will Hutton's The State We're In, Jonathan Coe's What a Carve Up! and Philip K. Dick's VALIS.
Well I should have checked that, thanks. I guess the question is can Thom Yorke elaborate on "political writing". 
cursed Island full of mutants
well, there's Roger Waters, but otherwise, pretty much
Turns out its actually a Crappy Computer.
Right wing bands like Radiohead have never been my cup of tea.
I definitely feel vindicated
Radiohead are objectively good and people in this thread have shit taste
Just weird "well I didn't like you anyway" contrarian energy
Shit people can be good artists

At the poets’ panel,
after an hour of poets
debating Ezra Pound,
Abe the Lincoln veteran,
remembering
the Spanish Civil War,
raised his hand and said:
If I knew
that a fascist
was a great poet,
I’d shoot him
anyway
I always hated Radiohead, so this doesn't affect me much. Seriously, if I wanted to listen to a guy incoherently piss and moan over the worst techno beats ever, I'd walk into a dive bar with a snare drum.
what a creep. what a weirdo. what the hell is he doing here? he doesn't belong here.
Lmao everyone sucks
At least we still have Danny DeVito
Wait what??
Ok, in 2017 they were pressurd to boycott/cancel a gig in Israel and refused and it got heated. That's what this is about.
I really like Radiohead's music but they've been politically bad for a long time. They were really into the "Free Tibet" shit back in day and would hang Tibet flags on their equipment at shows.
Never did like their shit it was always mid and overrated
I don't like Radiohead, but Pharrell has made quite a few songs I love and he's also a zionist
Where's Roger Waters at? Did he give up trying to smack sense into Yorke?
