I rate Radiohead as one of the most important English bands of all time. The classic album 'OK Computer' should be part of any self respecting music fans collection.
The most recent material is an eclectic mix so earlier material may be more accessible to some.
Anyway, lead vocal/guitar/piano/songwriter Thom Yorke peformed an acoustic benefit show in support of his old school in 2002. I've just found a bootleg of the entire show, excellent acoustic versions of 'Paranoid Android' 'Street Spirit' etc etc . Thought you'd like to know.

Just found this believe it or not...
Totally agree with you. Radiohead are without a shadow of a doubt the best curent band in the business, and I believe it will be some considerable time before the sublime "OK Computer" will be topped by anyone..."The Bends" and "Pablo Honey" are also pretty accessible, though "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" may not have such a wide appeal.... the sublime "Hail to the Thief" their most recent outing is superb as well, and confirms their position as top of the heap
I've heard alot about this band called "Radio Head" So where should I begin with this band? Who can you compare their music with. Have I heard this band before? I must have. How can I be so ignorant? I must do something about this!

What! For shame Schu'. The debut Muse album is soooo Radiohead, I hated it but I do like the latter stuff. No oe can honestly compare Muse to Radiohead in that respect. Stictly light v heavyweight.

Downlaod before you buy, try this http://www.torrentstop.com/torrents.php ... incldead=0 . 'Ok Computer' is a classic as are the earlier 'The Bends' and 'Pablo Honey'. Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and Com Lag should be approached AFTER these .

I never compared them and yeah I agree that Muse's first album is quite radioheadish.......well some of the tracks but I still would rather listen to Muse first.......unless I want to get really depressed ...j/k
and no matter what you say the debut album from Muse is still my fav album
. Thought you'd like to know.
