Ok so he's a great composer and he's a multi-instrumentalist. What is he known for in Radiohead? He's known for being the lead guitar player. I know plenty of people from my home town that can play circles around him. If he were to sit down with an electric guitar in one chair and someone that can really play were to sit down beside him and you'd say "ok, entertain me", he would be subpar.




lol good lord. Come on, man. This statement is ludicrous. Johnny Greenwood is one of the more innovative guitarists/multi instrumentalists of our age. He's great. He is one of the main reasons I listen to Radiohead.

Radiohead is too tame to get their hands dirty. It's all head, and no heart. And they are pretty awful live. A lot of standing around and trying to hit their marks.

I think so. Love or hate their music, their level of live playing is absolutely phenomenal.

I saw them in New Orleans. I forget the venue. Awesome show although the acoustics weren't the best.

I just grew out of them. The last album I really listened to and digested was In Rainbows.

I don't think I've ever met someone with good taste that thinks Radiohead sucks. Maybe not think they are amazing but at least like them a little.

Radiohead puts on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. The people that hate on them are country music fans that haven't seen them or many other good bands for that matter.


I agree with my face.

Bands like Animal Collective really are Radiohead's children

Animal Collective is a stain on pop music. I DO hate them.
