Yeah, I feel ya, Chris Norris. It totally sucks being the only guy without a boner at the Radiohead circle jerk. I even saw Radiohead at Bonnaroo in 2006, and I still feel like the clouds of OMG-level praise that follows York+Co around smells just a bit too much like stoner talk for me to take that seriously. Added to that, the fact that Thom Yorke is maybe the most uncharismatic human doesn't really give me any great drive to get into them. I can tell that they're good, but I don't really care one way or the other for them.
Norris' point is maybe more specifically that much of Radiohead's supposed greatness in these last few years is more smoke and mirrors than actual greatness, but he's still fighting a losing battle. There's no way that any fan will hear any anti-Radiohead argument as anything more than toddler talk, as if whining "C'mon doodz, listen to the music that turns me on" rather than putting together a pretty sound argument. Sorry, brah! (LINK)
