a lot of the hipsters from university are obsessed with radiohead and i find it strange since they try hard to be indie which is just lovely stripped down prog :smugdog:

Both Tool and Radiohead are kind of bad and not remarkable, unlike GWAR, which are neither of those things.

GWAR is cool and good.

Neither are great but both have several good albums earlier in their career. But Tool put this mildly :nws: picture of a cow on their Undertow cd, hidden underneath the insert for the cd so they win.

okay computer is the last radiohead album that I really listened to. Kid A was good but it didn't catch my attention as much. Do they actually play guitar anymore or is it all just bleep bloops?

they're both sort of comparable to pink floyd in that they're intellectual enough to appeal to critics and people with some sort of intellectual pretensions but still shallow enough to capture the attention of the masses. in truth they're both pretty overrated and if someone mentions either as one of their favourite bands it's generally a pretty good tip-off that they have mediocre to bad taste in music.
