Radiodead

I'm a huge fan of music and a wide range of music. From Led Zepplin to Miles Davis to Doc Watson to Hank Williams to Muddy Waters to Nirvana theres not much I can't stick my ears to. However there is one band that has taken the whole world by storm. They are almost crossing Godlike and are revered as one of the greatest bands ever. Some say the lead singer is a genius and has an angelic voice that stands tall against such greats as Jeff Buckley and Billie Holiday. The band I speak about is Radiohead. I can not wrap my head around why this band is so big. To me their music is not very listenable. Its filled with weird sounds that sound much more like a bad dj than a great band. As for Thom Yorke's angelic voice I cant really see it. It sounds extremely meek and too soft to even understand what hes saying. Today however Radiohead released their new album and new single called Lotus Flower. Apparently I missed the bandwagon on this one because as soon as I started watching the video I was perplexed at what I was watching. Yorke's oddly spastic dance moves was distracting from the song, which probably was a good thing. As soon as I could take my eyes away from the actual video and started listening to the song I was really not impressed. It sounded more like mumbling than what is considered the greatest rock band ever. I was never a huge Radiohead fan and this proves why. I have no idea why there's so many gigantic Radiohead fans, its more of a cult following where it's cool to like a band not for their abilities but for their marketing. Its a shame that this is what the music industry has come to. There's hundreds of better bands out there performing underground that can blow Radiohead away in concert or in the studio. I'm not one to demean music artists out there but I just couldn't sit back and let it go unsaid. I for one can't see the popularity of Radiohead. Its my opinion and I always stick to it.
