RADIOHEAD are one of the most talented bands of the 20th/21st century - and as for Thom's voice, it's the voice that launched a thousand clones - just because YOU don't like it that doesn't mean it sucks and everyone else should hate it - and picking on one song out of their catalogue is just dumb. Can anyone say "Creep", "Street Spirit", "Karma Police", "Everything in it's Right Place"?
If you're going to express a negative opinion about such a formidably influential and talented band, please be good enough to give some kind of reasoning. Just saying "it's bad and I don't like it" shows crass ignorance. It's a bit like saying "Bach sucks because I don't like his organ".
/end rant. I feel much better for that

YOU DAMNED HEATHEN!
These are fine British ales you are talking about - and you're putting them on ice!?! You lose all the flavour...... (gasp, splutter, goes puce in face....)
2 to 3 degrees below room temperature - that's all! I can see I'm needed over there for beer education classes.
"ice up the Bass & Newcastle........"

I was refering to songs like "4 chords that made a milion" when I used the term "pop" to define PT's music. I know they are labeled as "space rock", but even if it's the case I don't see anything exceptional or exciting in their music. They just don't reach the quality of other space-rock bands such as Gong (regarding "Angel's egg" and "You") or PF. I join Maani's point of view about this band : overrated.

I hate it when people say that Porcupine Tree are pop. I dont see
it and I really can't agree...yes lucas this is right at you Mr.
*points finger in your direction*
I also hate music people with closed minds to new ideas especially when
it genius. An example of this is the people at my school saying
that Primus is just a group that has a bass player that shows
off. Primus wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for Ler and Tim
YEA RETARDS! (aimed at those people in school of course).
I also hate Thom Yorke's voice. It just sucks so much. How
can people listen to Pyramid Song and say that it's actually
good? I think it's just so badly sung that people get confused
and think it's great.
ok, I'm done my ranting...I feel happy.

He sure is an entertainer, just not the kind he'd like to be (for me - not the old ladies)
Oh oh oh, and he's funny too. He claims Elvis stole his ideas And he makes nasty poems

Ahh, so you don't really hate Mr. Humpingdink? I'm glad you cleared that up. No room for Dink haters here.

I HATE Engelbert Humperdink!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Anything, but Humperdink.... That's got to be the best name ever, not to mention that we probably wouldn't have Wakeman, Emerson, Watkins, Minnear and Liberace without the wonderful piano stylings of Mr. Humperdink.
He was a prog forefather.
Take it back, belljar.... or be ostrasized by the forum.
Long Live Humperdink!!!!!

Any time my man, but you can get closer to me than L.A. Too many freaks there. Badgers are fine, carry-on only, they tend to burrow in the luggage compartment.
I'll fire up the Bar-be and ice up the Bass and Newcastle, as well as sweep the pool and arrange for a disco ball to hang from the top most post of the gazeebo. You'll feel right at home, my satellite gets BBC, wot?

Sorry, but talking about beer recalls the survey I read yesterday: Ireland is the champion in "average beer per person": 124,8 liter a year...Germany follows with 117,5 liter. Third place goes to Austria with 109,3 liter per person. British people consumed about 100 liter.
Sorry again but I don't think that you get better beer than in Germany or in the Czech Republik...
