Re: (TV) OT: Radiohead is bigger than God

["Eric Veillette" <ericgv@hotmail.com>]

The critics are really riding the Radiohead coat-tail.

I see a certain similarity between Johnny Greenwood's playing to Tom's, and 
even a certain similarity between Thom and Tom's voices. I'd say, in fact, 
that they are probably one of the greatest mainstream bands of the 90's. 
However, this "trying too desperately to sound like a rock band" thing has 
got to go.

If you take a listen to Can (like the "Saw Delight" EP I was playing earlier 
this aft), you'll realize that Radiohead, in this new incarnation, are 
nowhere near the likes of the people they are trying to emulate.

But what do I know:P

N.P.

Charlie HAden - The Montreal Tapes
Scott Walker - Boy/Child
Stones - Goat's Head Soup remastered
VU - VU
Can - Saw Delight
