Reflections on Radiohead
In reality Radiohead is your all purpose rain band. Coupled with Counting Crows and Ben Folds you can live out any rainy day in complete bliss.
Radiohead provides a veritable slew of raucous and regenerative hooks layered upon sorrow and reveling in loss. From the Rock albums of Pablo Honey and The Bends to the surreal pulsing rhythms OK Computer, Amnesiac, and Kid A to finally the interesting blend provided by Hail to the Thief. They really keep you on your toes. I wish that on days like today I had all of their CD’s so that I could shuffle them in tribute to Thom York and his band of geeks…
Alas the only album I have is the Bends. It’ll have to do.

I heard an envy core song without knowing it was the envy core and thought that it was radiohead so there!
