Haha...there's no need to feel sorry for me....except for all the suffering I put myself through listening to their stuff.
I've tried multiple times listening to them. I've tried to get into the simplicity of enjoying them. This thread continued to try to convince me that I was somehow wrong on how great Thom Yorke's mumble-whining over whatever riffs could really be. I was legitimately giving them a shot...over and over in fact.
But their music is entirely unenjoyable and lousy to me. It's hours of trying that I wish I could have back. I'm finished for now trying to throw it at the wall until it sticks.
My favorite listening moments involving RH the past few weeks involved finally reaching the end of their albums when I changed to something else. Listening to them makes everything else sound better and it has nothing to do with their influence stuff but rather how much I just want to hear anything else.
If I told you of some band that I insisted was truly awesome that you should keep trying to listen until you somehow liked them, would you? I mean, lets say you can't stand Garth Brooks or something...and I said, "well, you have to keep throwing it at the wall until it sticks." Would you go about listening to all his different albums multiple times?

When I was in college 10 years ago, I only knew RadioHead through 2 songs Karma Police and Creep, standard pop songs from their early albums that sometimes play on the radio. I liked the song and thought I'd give their new album at the time a try. It was Kid A. I listened to it. Once. Thought it was just noise, garbled noise! Didn't care for it at all and put the CD away to never listen to it again in college.
4 years later in grad school, after having expanded my musical tastes, i now actually have been to many concerts and truly listened to 100s more amazing bands. I feel that I now have a more mature taste for music. I remember when I was 13 and listening to Bryan Adams - Everything I do, I do it for you and loving it lol. Now, that's how i felt about my taste of music when i was in college.
I thought I give Kid A another shot. HOT ****ING DAMN!
I was taken to another world by a jasmine perfumed cloud to a feast of hot roasted garlic pepper crab, and then massaged by 19 (YES 19) beautiful full bosomed virgins, and then Jessica Alba came into the room with Scarlett Johansson, and they proceeded to give me blowjobs with their bright big puppy eyes looking up at me.

Radiohead.
Radiohead maybe not be the best but goddamnit it's better than listening to Mike Tyson.
(LOL maybe not)
