Why? How is insufferable whining from a man who has zero vocal talent and can't carry a tune in a bucket, droning on in either nonsensical lyrics or whining about not measuring up to a prospective mate, not unlistenable garbage?
I seriously can't think of one popular musical act out there that's worse than Radiohead. I would rather listen to Skrillex than Radiohead. I would rather listen to Yoko Ono's "Kiss Kiss Kiss" on a twenty four hour loop than have to sit through a single play of any of the tracks on "Kid A" ever again in my life.
Yes, they're that terrible, and I will never understand their popularity.
