An apology is a formal justification or defense of a position.
The most overrated band in history. Pablo Honey, by far their best work, is just solid Alternative Rock, nothing more.
Don't get me wrong, OK Computer and the Bends are GREAT albums. Hail To the Thief is actually pretty good too. But to call them the best band in the world, sorry, I disagree.
Love them or hate them, the fact that this band has managed to maintain such a rabid fanbase by creating some of the most challenging music around is definitely worth being praised for. Some, like myself, revel in the artistry of their sounds, while others may find some of it to be a little too hookless for their liking, but either way, you've got to admire a band that pushes boundaries of acceptability and still manages to maintain a level of success. It's baffling really.
I reckon if Radiohead were a 70's band or even 80's, they'd be hailed as Music Gods. However, music in the 21st century is often slagged off. Poor Radiohead is also caught up in this.
Just about right, I think. Maybe leaning a bit on the underrated side.
They're a good band, but come on, OK Computer isn't even the best album of the 90's nevertheless the second best album of ALL-TIME!!!!! FUCK!
On the other hand, Kid A may have deserved all the praise it got.
In conclusion, my generation and poor music critics like to make mountains out of mole-hills.
Whoever said that no one can emulate them, you're correct. I don't think it would be possible for anyone to replicate the utter shit that Radiohead calls music and make any sort of living doing it. How this band became famous is completely beyond me as they are completely devoid of anything even remotely resembling talent. I about shit myself when I saw the lead singer listed as one of the greatest singers of all time. Seriously?
Radiohead is nothing but a bunch of shitty noise thrown together to create one massive audio clusterfuck. Probably the most over-rated band of all time.
There is a whole genre that already sounds like them that has been around for almost 30 years. It's called sadcore. Fuck off.
amazing band, how are they overrated when many have not even heard of them.
No band can emulate them. Anyone who tries will fail. Yorke has a voice which can't be emulated.
Both the Greenwoods have their distinctive playing habits.
Everyone in Radiohead is unique and thats what I like to hear. A solid band in my book.
very very overrated
Seems like a lot of people here can't actually criticize radiohead or come up with some objective reasons as to why they're overrated. All in all, it's a matter of taste but at least have some meat with your potatoes.
As the greatest living band, it is impossible to overrate them.
Underrated and under appreciated. Some people seem to ignore innovation and call it boring. Johnny Greenwood makes Radiohead what it is, not Thom Yorke.
SO overrated.
Radiohead is pure garbage. The shittiest and the most overrated band in all music history.
Dull. Tom Yorke's vocals are monotone and devoid of any motion. The same can be said of their bland music. Horribly, horribly over-rated.
Its so simple, Radiohead music is simply boring, always boring.
They're not a bad band, but they're definitely over-valued by music critics and other nerds.
Probably the #1 most overrated band of all time. Seriously.
I just don't see what the big deal is. They've had a few decent songs over the years, but generally speaking all of their stuff has too much of that weird distortion and most of their songs sound pretty much the same.
Innovative, nothing sounds like them. Even when they try (coldplay)
Overrated.
