Like the Beatles -- the only band with whom Radiohead can be compared for the arc of their career and their willingness to challenge their own legacy to an excellent result -- Radiohead has evolved to a point where their only influence is themselves and their quest to be exceptional. But Radiohead does what the Beatles couldn't during the late stages of their career -- they play their complex songs live, reproducing them to a degree, yet going beyond the recordings. From a distance, the band seems deliberately enigmatic -- rock is filled with such poseurs -- but in concert, they are deep within the music of the moment, as if wrapped in an invisible bubble of creativity

Radiohead = "Murdoch Rock"

such a horrible analogy ... unlike the beatles, radiohead is such a deeply polarizing group ... you can find just as many people/music critics who despise radiohead for their noodling as those who adore them

sheesh... another radiohead thread and i say that in the nicest way possible as to not come off as a douchebag bickering on a indie music snob forum where elitism and man bags rule the day... did i mention mario kart for the wii rulez?
