Well, now it appears that Radiohead's new disc will be a rock opera based on a famous novel by Isaac Asimov. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what the title is?? 
Breaking news about a new Radiohead project! (Sort of...)
- Thread starter Darth_Pazuzu
- Start date
Nope.
Aye Aye, Robot!
(Just think about it for a moment...)

Yes, it took sometime to work my way through the layers of subtext, but I got there in the end.
Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands in the recent history of music, and I say that as someone who likes a lot of Radiohead. Radiohead, Coldplay, Oasis: the Triad of Overrated Pretentious English Rock.
Most of their recent stuff is simply depressing and annoying. OK Computer was about the last album I truly enjoyed start to finish, but even then the EMO was starting to creep in.

Yeah, I kind of get what you're talking about when it comes to their later electronica-inspired stuff, but even on their later discs you've got some great songs like How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Knives Out, There There and Go To Sleep.
(Is it just my twisted imagination, or does Go To Sleep have a bit of a Led Zeppelin vibe to anybody else?)

I totally agree as well, Pablo Honey was a great start, showed a lot of potential. The Bends is an absolutely awesome album, one of the best British albums of the 90s, and OK Computer marked the start of a downwards spiral into pretentiousness but still an excellent album.
I also agree that there are gems on the later albums, but really they are very ponderous pieces of work indeed on the whole. I never listen to any of them, although I own all of them.

Coldplay are more overrated than Radiohead
