Yes but the problem is so is Aqualung, and Heavy Horses more so.

and Radiohead is waaaaay more RIO than the common PAer thinks

Yeah, I know!!

I'm on Hail to the Thief now... it blows my mind to think that some would call it "commercial".

Great album!

Well, the deal was... NaturalScience (Pat) and the rest of us were trying to figure out for PAGES what the new name of the Suede Room was going to be since we weren't the most satisfied with it. No one could agree on anything, so we abandoned the idea after way too long of an argument.

The odd thing is---In a joking fashion but also in entire seriousness, at least that name would be way better than the Suede Room, IMO.

People think Radiohead is mainstream either because 1) Most people haven't heard anything past OK Computer 2) Most people haven't heard anything besides Creep or 3) MTV tried to make Radiohead it's b**ch back in the 90s

Thankfully, Radiohead broke away from that and has continued artistically. That is what sets them apart from the mainstream; that, of course, and their unconventional style of composing. But most people just ignore that.

If they weren't so popular, I think they'd be much more apt to be conceived "art rock" than they are in most people's eyes, whether in general or on PA.

Then again, most people are idiots musically. However, thank goodness there are at least some prog bands (Radiohead, Tool, etc) that manage to achieve some mainstream success. It just goes to show you that you can dupe the mainstream listeners with good music now and then

Why has music been twisted to become an exception? I mean, I could answer that... but it's a pity really.

Indeed. But enough about topics that make me sad. Let's turn this into a "Geddy Lee can shred your b**ls off with one of his solos" thread

Geddy > You.

That's like THE written truth for any bassist.

Only two people in the Suede Room? Man, this place feels empty for the time of day.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *echoes*

I think I'd know that personally Haha, Geddy is my favorite bassist... but, in seriousness, you know I don't agree with that statement. Everyone has to hold to their own style and never can compare themselves to someone else, as everyone's style is different. But you already knew that. One of these days maybe you'll catch Geedy in terms of awesomeness though.

Or better yet, maybe I'll surpass him. But if I surpass Geddy Lee, then what does that mean?

That means the world will explode instantaneously.

Fine then. Instead of surpassing him, I'll challenge him to a bass duel. The world will then explode from all the funky, complex, riffs we'd be bouncing off each other. Oh and did I mention that the riffs are, of course, RIO bass riffs?
