bcuz radiohead is a "pretentious, depressing, moody" music. media hate it bcuz that kind of music realises ppl that world is a sad place to live in and ppl around you would sell you if they had achange and profit from it.

[@Don156Juan]

+Covellechi The melody is depressing but the lyrics doesn't, the song has a strong message about how's the life is at this time, i mean people don't work for living, people live for working, this is my interpretation .. anyway is a great great song ..

Ok Computer is a hard album to describe to people who don’t know Radiohead well. A masterpiece by a band with a unique style that’s all their own. A band that’s impossible to sound influenced by without ripping off the sound. Their are only a few bands and solo players that are like that and these are what makes some music timeless classics. Radiohead, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Tool, Pink Floyd. Yes I’m leaving out a ton more but these artists created sounds and styles not heard before. What are your bands and artists you love that have styles that are beautifully unique that changed music forever?
