I admit I don't particularly care for their music. It's just not my cup of tea. I can acknowledge their artistic significance and influence. However it's strange how popular they are despite never really having a hit song.

I think the music is great. Much better than anything on King of Limbs

I've listened to about 200 seconds of Radiohead in my life

KOL was pretty bad, and I generally love RH. This sounds pretty good, but I hope

I'm with you. I hate KOL. I tried to like it, but it just wasn't happening.

Radiohead: easily the most overrated band by CB

"Creep" was a massive song in the late 90's.

They've had a couple of hit songs, but they haven't been their best, or their

I know it's already happened. I'm saying it will continue to happen.

i think the fact that it isn't ubiquitous kind of raises the appeal a little.

I don't care for RH, but its difficult to overstate their influence/importance

Linescratcher

yeah, agreed. people will always glom onto any band with mass critical appeal.

Listening to Elliott Smith makes me kind of sad. But it's a sad that I like.

Best use of strings I can think of by them: love at 1:30 when you hear them.

Wow, sounds like Coldplay doing a poor cover of a rejected U2 b-side

Chris Martin pretty famously said in an interview how sad he was to learn that

I love Coldplay's first 2 albums. I don't care if they are imitations.

Hypnotoad

Agreed. I like a lot of CP albums. Derivative don't matter if the songs are good

Jay Rick

coldplay was a different band when they first set out.
