Good news for Certif1ed, Radiohead has been added to the site, making them Officialy Prog.
Congratulations to all. And many thanks to Certif1ed who made such a great case for them
Though feelings on Radiohead seemed to be inconclusive and appeared to lead to a stalemate - indesisive draw. Radiohead pulled it of to become one of the memorable additions to this site.
no official response from Radiohead itself is made so far, but rumour goes they've got the corks off of the Bubblies.
Knowing they'll be heading for obscurity we hearbye appologies to all not-prog fans of Radiohead, for dragging them into the realm of prog, from which there is no escape.
A final quote from Radiohead frontman Thom York
"They're all uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight."

I guess it's because they come up for discussion so often - but I'm a bit confused as they're listed as * Radiohead * and it's not easy to find them in the archives...
The discography is a little scant too, as is the biography.
Oh well, I'd better get in touch with their manager, who was in the year above me at my school...

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn
I saw a light coming on
I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Let’s go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?
Open up, let me in
Let’s go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It’s nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Wooooooooooooooooo they are in!

 I really don't support the idea to "make" RADIOHEAD a prog band because it IS just not one.So now there is a genre called "Psychedelic Alternative Rock" and they are listed as this plus PROGRESSIVE ROCK.So what?They are both or is it the same?Who will be the next: Oasis?Pulp?Muse?Franz Ferdinand?Robbie Williams?Maybe Britney,someone could try to discover some PROG elements in her music (or in her behavior). I don't say that RADIOHEAD is doing bad music, they are for sure much much better than all the artists I mentioned but in their genre and this is ALTERNATIVE ROCK!!!Nothing against this kind of music, I listened to it as well 5-10 years ago until I realized there are also bands existing in the 90s,not only in the 70s making good PROG.It's just because this kind of music is much more popular than PROG and less complex, easy to listen,not necessarily bad for these reasons but really f******* irrelevant to someone who is seriously interested in demanding and "pretentious" music. Sorry to say but IMHO the addition of Radiohead marks somehow the beginning of the end for the PROGARCHIVES.The site will end up in a general forum for ROCK MUSIC and will not deserve its name anymore in future and for me personally it will be not so much relevant and interesting anymore as it used to be.

Kid A is Prog, as is Radiohead now as a concept band, but they are special prog. I've said it before, there is such thing as pop prog.
