he’s great. but i don’t think he needs to be talked about as much compared to jonny who likely wrote the part he was playing in the first place

[@guaguancos.montunodcubop8923]

Is that cat Jonny really that much of a heavyweight? Im asking genuinely. Im kinda new to Radiohead so I haven't went down the rabbit hole yet. I been digging them for a couple yrs now. I listen to a handful of numbers but those I do love. I actually come from different genres but im very open minded when it comes to music. Gotta be. Anyway.. I know Thom is considered a genius and I've heard alot about Jonny. People always seem to talk about what he brings to the table. His contribution to the band.

[@Ntkrueger]

I think Jonny is more indispensable than Ed but Ed is def underrated/appreciated

단연 넘버원 크리에이터 톰요크. 돌이켜보면..라디오헤드는 브릿팝의 홍수속에 꽤내 유명한 밴드가 되었지만, 그에 안주하지 않고 본인들의 모든것을 버리고 새로운것을 도입하며 가장 창의적이고 진보적인 밴드가 되고자 했다. 이것이 그들이 역사속에 묻히지 않고 지금도 현재 진행형이된 세상에서 가장 위대한 밴드중 하나가 될 수 있었다고 생각한다. 예상은 했지만 브릿팝 홍수의 덕을 본 거의 모든 밴드들은 역사속으로 가라 앉았고, 남은 건 라디오헤드와 현재도 계속해서 진보중인 스웨이드뿐이다. 이들을 보며 리더의 영향력과 존재가 얼마나 중요한지 다시한번 깨닫게 된다.

[@marieblue]

This was debuted by Thom Yorke at a warm-up show with his group Atoms For Peace in 2009. Radiohead first played the song during a benefit concert in 2010. Once recorded, “Lotus Flower” (2011) was chosen by the English alternative rock band as the first single from their studio album “The King of Limbs” (2011). The lotus flower, a.k.a. sacred lotus, an aquatic perennial, is the national flower of India and Vietnam. From ancient times it has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions, representing the virtue of sexual purity. In Asian classical literature, the lotus was often used in verse as an allegory for ideal feminine attributes. The LP’s title refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire’s Savernaks Forest, which is believed to be 1,000 years old❗️ Yorke’s singular moves in the music video inspired a series of dance dub clips having him grooving to popular tunes : Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” (2008), Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” (2009), and Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” (1987).
