The Godlike Genius of Radiohead.

Next stop in my plan to see all the greatest musicians in history live. Are their tickets expensive? And have they still "got it?"

I agree with FC but how can you begrudge Dr. Evil being psyched to go on a trip and see a band? It isn't like it is EATB.

Godlike genius? I've never seemed to 'get' Radiohead, I've always seen them as cold and boring, must be missing something.

I could never get past the guy's wonky eye.

I'm so shallow.

OK, I'll cop to it. I like them.

Godlike Genius is a bit excessive though, and I'm sure the overly dramatic praise that they receive in the press and elsewhere puts some people off.

Their new stuff is pretty good (miles ahead of the Fountain at least, er...i'm sorry, Fountrain) but the trio of The Bends - OK Computer - Kid A is pretty unbelievable. On a par with Crocodiles - HUH - Porcupine in that each album has it's own unique sound, and each is a masterpiece.

Of course that analogy isn't seamless because their greatness began with their second album, not their first like the Bunnymen.

Oh, their live shows are mega too.

You'd love me then. One eye is lazy and the other is glass.
