I would like to express my dislike of the band Radiohead.
I could nitpick and think of a thousand silly reasons why I don't like them, including the fact they chose to call themselves Radiohead, when none of them have an electrical appliance as a head, but why do that? I'm sure some people may think names of some of the bands I listen to are silly too.
For starters, I really don't like Thom Yorke. I think if he was in another band, I still wouldn't like him. I don't have a plausible reason to defend my reason of not liking him, but you can't like everyone in the world, can you?
He's whiney. I also think his voice sounds a little nasally at times. Who wants to listen to nasal sounding voices? I could be wrong, maybe my stereo was demented in some way and MADE it sound nasally, or I could've had an ear infection, but I know what I heard; it was nasal.
Another, they're supposedly all influential and whatnot. What makes them so special that THEY'RE influential? There's plenty of influential bands out there.
It annoys me that Paranoid Android is on the ending credits for Ergo Proxy [how I love that show] but in light of that, I do find that particular song relaxing, and actually bearable. It's not as whiney as other songs I've heard.
Their music bores me. I can listen to softer music, indie and alternative are fun genres, and I even sometimes find myself listening to minimal amounts of post-rock and right now, Porcupine Tree, but I need energy in my music. I like to be able to jump around and feel like I'm part of the music, and just have fun. Who the hell can rock out to a song like, for example, Karma Police?
Radiohead has the sort of music which I can picture being played in a nursery or maybe a old folks home.
Come on, yell at me and tell me I'm so wrong.
Tell me I haven't heard enough of their music to pass judgment. Sure, maybe they do have some fairly upbeat songs, but that doesn't mean I'd like them.
Sure, I've changed my mind on artists that I've not liked and realized I do like them, but I cannot stand Radiohead.
I will not like Radiohead ever, with the exception of the bearableness of Paranoid Android, and that might also have something to do with the fact it seems to suit the credits for Ergo Proxy.
I have nothing against their fans, I just wonder how they have the patience to actually listen to them.
