That moment when your all-time favorite band is no longer your all-time favorite

I've been a Radiohead fan since about 98 or 99, around the in-between of OK Computer and Kid A. Have followed the band pretty religiously through the years, but as most of you know, they are a band that you either really love or really hate. Amazing music, but obviously Yorke's voice can grate most listeners. I've always defended his vocal style, saying it was unique and always added a new layer to the sound. But over the last couple of years, especially with King of Limbs and his Atoms of Peace side project, he's really gone off the deep end of electronics and abstract singing. I wanted to like KOL so badly since I absolutely love In Rainbows and felt it was a sign they were going in a good direction. But KOL bored me after about a month of listening (Separator is still great), and now Yorke is gone off on this path of spastic interpretive dance routines and ill-advised skinny jeans, and it's kind of embarrassing to say I'm a fan. I'd mildly curious to see what Radiohead does once they get back in to the studio, but I fear they will either continue down this electronic loop heavy road or not do anything at all.

I guess I figured they would be that band that I would listen to forever and would never tire of re-visiting old albums, but now, I can't even bring myself to listen to any of it. Or maybe I just overdid it.


Have you ever had a band that was just the epitome of music in your mind that you eventually had a falling out with?
