Radiohead

Posted on by


This nomination may spark some debate, as there are a few on here who know music and whose opinions i’m interested in.

Radiohead – and their fans – are cunts. The music press has been brown-nosing Thom and co for years, as have too many of my contemporaries. I generally trust my brother’s taste in music but scoffed when he recently claimed they were one of the most important bands ever’.
I replied, ‘you mean overrated, right?’
I never thought he was too keen on them.
We both in our teens when they arrived on the music scene and every cool cunt decided ‘Creep’ would be a personal anthem. Tortured souls, bless ’em.
Any other band or act mentioned got a grimace and histrionic wail of disgust and disdain.
‘Uggghhh! You like THEM?! Uggghh!’
‘No, i asked what you thought of them.’
‘UGGGHHH!! Wanker!”

It seemed that was how every radiohead of the 90s was. Not sure if older cunters have encounter a similarly afflicted fanbase of bands/groups before or since.

  1. Just another joe average bunch of geezers strumming guitars bang drums and making their own pop music.
    Indifferent and often bland. Cunts indeed

    • The first time I heard Radiohead I was genuinely impressed.
      The Bends .

      Sounded different to other bands,
      And the lead singer was repulsively ugly.
      Like a gargoyle.

      I like those OK computer and The Bends ,
      Not heard anything since Kid A.

      Posh lads aren’t they?
      From Oxford
      Prefer them to that chimp cunt Liam Gallagher and Oasis.

    • So this Thom Yorke (never heard of him) has had to go through his life saying: “That’s Thom spelt t-H-o-m”, and “that’s Yorke with an E”.
      No wonder he looks so miserable.

  2. That Thom Yorke looks like an incel. Perhaps that is why he has such a tortured singing voice.

    If he emptied his nuts into a willing young lady, he might start crooning like Frank Sinatra?

  3. put Radiohead and U2 in the same room and you would fill the room with cuntishness of a scale never seen in the universe, oven…. morning all

  4. Never understand the obsession people have with music and ” popstars “, twats pulling faces like it’s hard work plucking a guitar string or banging a drum.
    Just like actors and other luvvie types they’ve an overblown sense of importance and entitlement, who gives a tuppeny wank about their opinions.
    Sorry but they are all cunts.

    • Their best known hit ‘Creep’ didn’t it go to court?
      Sounds bit like the Hollies ‘air that I breathe ‘ ?

  6. Not really my bag, pretty grim listening, but it’s the music press who are the cunts here. No independence of thought, just follow the narrative.
    Remember Suede? Another 90s band who were feted as the kings of Brit pop by music journalists, when they clearly weren’t.
    Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine we’re another favourite of NME etc.
    I’ve often wondered if record company sweeteners have played a part with the undeserved over promotion of some of these bands.
    Why not? It happens in most other businesses.

  7. Radiohead – arsey and pretentious cunts to a man, no doubt about that

    Creep is a very overated song as well.

    However, The Bends and Ok Computer were absolutely top drawer.

    Kid A, Amnesiac and In Rainbows were equally brilliant. (especially Kid A)

    Best gig I ever went to happened to be these fellas in Prague a number of years ago.

    Like with so many bands or musician types though, enjoy their work by all means but best to avoid hearing their views and opinions on anything.

    Radiohead – the best band of the last 30 years.

    Good Morning.

    • I fully agree Herman, one of the best British bands ever in my opinion and I prefer their later material if anything.

      Love their music but their politics leave a lot to be desired. Typical luvvie champagne socialists. Shut the fuck up with your opinions and make another album.

    • The melody for Creep was ripped off from the 1972 song The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies. The publisher of TATIB sued for copyright infringement and won. Seems Thom Yorke is a real creepy cunt indeed.

  8. I’m a sucker for that sort of ‘
    feeling sorry for myself,
    Self indulgent indie stuff.
    I’m a fan of The Smiths .

    It appeals to me😁

    That Thom Yorke though,
    Looks like he survived a car crash doesn’t he?
    Like Quasimodos ugly brother.

    I heard when his mum gave birth she asked if it was too late for a abortion?

  9. Pretentious,self-indulgent caterwauling for dreadful trainee-teacher types…middle-class/grammar school windbaggery at it’s finest.

      • Arty-Farty Wankers who would be fucking useless on the rugby pitch or in the post-game bar fight.

        Morning,Mis.

      • Yeah don’t think they’d be much use at rugby,
        Seem like the type excused from sports with a letter from mum?

        Thom Yorke has had a rubber Johnny in his wallet unused for nearly 30yrs.

      • More of you should know where Thom Yorke is coming from and empathise.

        Never had a valentine’s card

        Never had a Christmas kiss

        No girls ever said “my mate fancies the arse off you”

        Never had his arse pinched

        Never came home covered in shag bites as a teenager

        Poor spinabifida cunt.,☹️

  10. Downloaded and burnt a few of their albums, never listened to them again for 20 years…

    Sort of sums them up for me….💩

  11. No big surprises. Many BritPop bands and indie bands from the mid to late 90s were all part of the laddish/edgy culture fighting against the System, the State, conservatism, capitalism and the status quo (no, not Rick) blah blah.

    30 years later and they’ve become old and crusty cunts, desperately trying to cling on to the Good Ship Relevant by spouting any fashionable narrative bollocks that is currently doing the rounds.

    Bands do it
    Singers do it
    Film and TV stars do it
    Footballers and other sportspeople do it.

    They all reach a certain sell-by date but still want to be in the public eye by talking shite, and quite often hypocritical shite at that (more so very rich cunts who dump their money in tax-free off-shore banks and then tell the plebs to cough up for some worthy cause – aka Bono and Geldof et al)

    Of course their fans will be so absorbed in whatever is said that they will continue to be sucked into this bullshit because people like Thorn are the greatest philosophical thinkers of the age.

  12. I bought Ok Computer after being told that I’d ‘love it’. Listened to it a few times to give it a chance but it just washed over me. Couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. From what I recall the music wasn’t in the Premier Cunts League along with U2’s drivel, but not for me. Radiohead’s albums often top these ‘best ever’ charts so I assume some people ‘get them’. As long as they don’t feel the need to lecture the masses, crack on.

  13. Ive heard of that band but never their music. Nor ever will. I view all those emo bands with contempt. Their lack of skill, tedious left wing politics, their album photos in which they must never smile and which must always be black and white, their cynical playing in ‘charity’ concerts solely to increase their profile, their massive egos, their petty disputes their inevitable reunions when they realise how expensive their kids private school fees are, their hypocritical champagne socialism, the way talentless
    Middle class wank is turned into a career by their manager- Mr 10% – who always, but always lives in North London.
    Now since music is now free for the idiots who actually want to listen to it, these bands need to tour now to make any money, which they clearly dont want to do. Playing the same jangle for the 11000th time.
    Yeah, fuck them, talentless, cynical cunts.

  14. The most authorative and genuinely principled music press was Melody Maker.
    Bands lie Radiohead would appear on the back page in small print and be 1 column inch.

  15. Think it was the videos, that added a mesmeric appeal to the music.
    They were original but a tad feel sorry for me types. Perfect for aimless millennial teens who didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning.
    Dreamy opiate for charmless wasters.
    I can still listen to em though, they wouldn’t annoy me unlike most cuntish muzac

  16. loved Pablo honey, The bends and OK computer.

    Saw them in Copenhagen around 2001 when Kid A came out and then decided they were shite after lengthy guitar wank solos that dragged on for far too long.

    always preferred James. The album Laid is fucking superb and the out takes from it show how talented they were as a group.

    • I’d second that regarding James.

      I liked a few of their tunes going way back and have their ‘best of’, but nothing else. For some reason took the plunge and bought Hey Ma when it came out. What an album! Saw them live in Minneapolis several years ago in support of that album and they were superb. Bought a ton of their catalogue since.

      Tim Booth is one of the lucky lead singers who, many years down the line, can still sing incredibly well and sounds as good as ever. Andy McCluskey of OMD is the same. Getting up there in age, but still sounding great.

  17. Linkin Park fans are worse. Say anything negative about the band and they come down on you like a pack of wolves.

    • Linkin Park. I’d almost forgotten they existed.
      Very true of the fan base, especially in the early noughties. Similar story with Eminem.
      Fucking millennial fanboy cunts.

      • Truth be told I do like some of Eminem’s music – Stan especially tells an amazing if extremely bleak story – but yeah, his fanbase can be massive knobheads.

    • I saw Linkin Park many years ago at the O2. Cunts were hurling water bottles around in the audience. The band stopped the show and told them to knock it off. Kudos.

      Sad that Chester Bennington took his own life.

    • And as good as Rush were, their fans are dangerously fanatical,

      And the less said about Michael Jackson fans, the better,

      • Rush are another band l can’t get with the programme on,not for lack of trying though.I appreciate their immense musical prowess especially Peart on drums and ‘Spirit of Radio’ is a masterpiece beyond measure but the music is just too frenetic and busy for my lugs,violent tempo changes and a vocalist with an annoying screech akin to the chap in Manic street preachers in many ways.I don’t mind the falsetto done with the finesse of say YES maestro Jon Anderson or Hodgkinson from Supertramp due to their respective song quality output which is peerless with both bands.

        Sort of answering my own questions essentially, ergo, l don’t dig Rush coz they’re not as good as YES.

        Velvet Underground are my favourite doomsters by far.

  18. I like Dr. Feelgood, Motorhead and The Meteors. I can’t listen to pretentious dreary manure like Radiohead. I listen to music to enjoy myself not fucking gaze at my navel. One of, if not THE, shittest bands of the ’90s.

  19. Radiohead. Music to slash your wrists by.

    Suede and Shed7 better than those weirdos from Oxford back in the day.

    James ok too.

    Oasis and Blur fucking wankers, still are. Although the video to Country House has some scantily clad luvverlies running about nicely.

  20. The Fall
    Cocteau Twins
    The Levellers 5
    The Cranes
    Pale Saints
    Curve
    Wedding Present
    My Bloody Valentine
    Bleach … some shoegazers in there and many more I’d forgotten.

  22. I could never understand the hysteria about this band. Boring as hell. Thom York looks like he’s had a stroke and the music was a disjointed noise.

  23. They were great (The Bends and Ok Computer) but my god, they were fucking miserable.

    They’re just wanky now, trying to be clever but it sounds like miserable plinky plonky bollocks.

    Great live, got to be said. Take a noose though, you’ll need it after an hour of their misery guts music.

    Don’t get played often at weddings I bet.

  24. I do like Radiohead, but some of their output leaves me cold. My interest in them was resurrected when I stumbled across their King of Limbs ‘In the basement’ session. To see a band working up close and personal was fascinating. There is some incredibly beautiful music in that session. A personal favourite is Codex which is beyond brilliant and very moving.

    Yes, they’re pretentous. Yes, they’re a bit arty. Yes, they’re a bit too serious. But excellent musicians with some killer albums to their name.

    • It is beautiful music, very dreamy and sometimes nightmarish (I’m sounding a tad pretentious now). Never boring. Love The King of Limbs.

  26. On the subject of musical cunts, conspiracy theory loon and chimp look alike, Ian Brown has been causing controversy again. His latest tour has the monkey gobshite ‘singing’ to a backing track with no other musicians on stage.

    Bit of a comedown. From sharing a stage with three genuinely superb players in The Stone Roses to going back to the Ian Brown Goon Show. Anyone who pays 40 quid to see him squawk to a backing tape needs their head testing.

    • I saw The Sisters of Mercy a few years ago. Their entire set had so much dry ice on stage all the time, you could barely see anything. You’d occasionally see someone on stage, but I swear to dog nobody was playing and you couldn’t make out any of the vocals.

      Vids on YT backup this up if you can be bothered.

      I also saw Propaganda back in the day. You could just tell pretty much everything was on tape. Still, Susanne Freytag was seriously horny back then and Claudia Brücken has a killer voice.

    • Better that than a bottom half of the premiership Miley Cyrus or dustbin cuntman. Adele and that ginger cunt Sheeran get on my tits too. Find creep (best version) on youtube and you’ll forgive most of their other crimes against humanity. As Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker once said “I don’t mind being forever associated with ‘Common People’, at least it’s not Agadoo”.
      Find Hanging around by the Stranglers if you want a retro classic, thank me after watching it.

  28. I’ll admit to owning a couple of Radiohead singles like ‘Creep’ etc but on the whole nothing to see here.
    Certainly not a band that comes to mind when I think of ‘Classics’

  29. The 90s spawned a lot of crap music. Chav drug dealing shite like Oasis and grammar school botty boys Blur, laughingly seeing themselves as the Beatles and the Stones in the 60s. Even their groupies had shitty Britpop groups. Elastica, for fuck’s sake…

    But that wasn’t the worst of it. That squawking misnadrist witch Alanis Morrossette topped the lot. How the fuck was that screeching slag so massive back then? I fucking loathed her.
