 It is interesting - I feel sorry for somebody who doesn't love this as much as I do.  

the part that bothers me, is i think some ppl, not necessarily ppl on here though, actually refuse to enjoy it just because its a Radiohead album. [/b]

oppositional defiant hipsters on this bboard?  knee-jerk reactions to anything known to the mainstream?  i'm shocked.

Again, that's not about the music itself, that's about the record industry and Radiohead's attempt to change the status quo.  [/b]

wow, seems that people other than 930 bboardees are qualifying the release of this album as "revolutionary".

Popular media also engaging in hyperbole..?!!??

Make it sound like "Nice Dream"
 
 Radiohead new album: 'In Rainbows' remixes hit the web
 
 Remixers are already tackling Thom Yorke and co's new stuff
 
 Remixes of tracks from 'In Rainbows', the new Radiohead album released yesterday (October 10), have started to appear online.
 
 Dance producer Mojib has remixed 'Videotape', the final track of 'In Rainbows'.
 
 
 Maybe, they can get someone to remix the album so they sound like actual songs.  You know?  Those things with hooks? Middle eights? Choruses? Melodies?

i'm starting to think this board is the polar opposite!!!
 
   all this talk of ticket sales and melodies is beginning to make me wonder.

You know, sometimes I think you're completely off your rocker, sonick.  
 
 Then you post something like that, and I remember why I always liked you.

me thinks radiohead fans should checkout The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe", would have to guess a young Thom Yorke heard this one...
 
 Slightly creepy music video version

 TV studio band performance.

oh come on, how old is that???
 
 in fact, didnt Hammond even end up getting some of the royalties?
 
   clever, kosmo but about 15 years late. (where's that ancient.gif?)

so Radiohead's biggest hit turns out to be  ripoff of another song... nice     it puts them in the same league at Vanilla Ice

here we go with "biggest hit" now.
 
 
  add that to the "930 board defines what makes a good band list":
 
 
 1. sold out shows
 2. hooks
 3. melodies
 
 anything else?
 
 how about:
 
 4. commercial endorsements.
 5. appearances on SNL
 6. superbowl halftime shows
 7. rolling stone/spin cover shots
 8. kids bop remake songs
 
 i dunno.  i mean, we've got real merit working here.
 
  besides everyone seemed to like Radiohead when they were ripping of the Hollies and apparently U2.   so we can add
 
 9. ripping off other bands

it's a joke... I only in the last couple of years heard the Hollies song for the first time and then thought how it was interesting that it must have had some influence on Radiohead... aren't they a bit "hip" to having been influenced by the Hollies? Not that there is anything wrong with the Hollies, I quite like their material. It wasn't till today that I found out about the lawsuit and sharing of royalties for "Creep", apologizes for not  being a scholar of Radiohead history.
