After yesterday’s post a comment was left by a friend of mine, Mr Holmz, regarding the Radiohead theory. I feel he has brought forward a very important point that I overlooked in my haste to post an amusing blog.
Sooooo…
Where do Radiohead come in all this.? They have been around since the mid 90’s, children of the britpop boom started by James, Oasis, Blur, Pulp etc. In recent years they have been well known for producing “music to cut your wrists to”. But here my personal preferences kick in.
You see, the first really big hit of their’s was Creep. With crashing guitars and a subtle undertone of rockiness it was a very good place to start a career in music. Starting the album with “Anyone Can Play Guitar” was a touch of genius.
Wandering through the late 90’s they seemed to just get better and better before finally springing to their peak (in my humble opinion) with the songs “Knives Out” and “Pyramid Song”.
They are men amongst a pile of overtly emotional toffy nosed rejects. They also allowed Mark and Lard to use their album cover artwork for one of their albums and for that…
They must truly be Gods.!
