Thinking Radiohead is great is so last decade. We all knew Hail To The Thief wasn't *that* good. Own The Bends, Pablo Honey, and OK Computer. Accept that they are a "90's" band. 2. You don't like Sleater Kinney? Ok, you're wrong on this one. Have you heard they're cover of Fortunate Son?? Oh! is a pop gem. 3. Eric Clapton is a tool. He stopped being cool in the 70's. He should've died young to spare us his white man blues. 4. Dave Matthews is enjoyable, but all in all, giant musical swells and hippie jams don't make for consistent great songwriting. The musicians in his band are talented, but like a lot of talented musicians, they get wanky. There. Feel better? I'm currently recommending Aqueduct (The "song" is Grownin' Up With GNR- but the whole album is good), The Magnetic Fields, The Arcade Fire, and The Slits cover of Heard It Through The Grapevine. All of them on the ipod non-stop these days. 1. Thinking Radiohead is great is so last decade. We all knew Hail To The Thief wasn’t *that* good. Own The Bends, Pablo Honey, and OK Computer.
