I hadn't paid attention to the band since "Creep" but some folks at the
office insisted they were some transcendent force in music so I picked up
some of the later CDs. It sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. What is the big
deal?

If you think it sounds "exactly" like PF you should be a critic with your
tin ear.

Even if I did agree with your theory that Radiohead has become Pink
Floyd-esque (which I don't), I have to wonder how "on the ball" you
are considering the fact that the band, as a whole, hasn't released
almost anything new in around three years...

And considering that "Creep" came out.. what.. 13? 14 years ago?

I'm really not a fan of Radiohead at all, but this statement is absurdly

I agree. They are not at all as good as Floyd. Although, atmospheric and
plodding, in a Floydian way, they lack the sonic mastery of space and
tension they are trying desperately to emulate. Their attempts at profound
introspection come off as merely whiney, undergraduate philosophy.
Insufferable.

Well, I always thought from the start Radiohead sounded like an
alternative rock version of Pink Floyd.
Analogy:
Radiohead is to Pink Floyd
What Primus is to Rush.
Agreed?

No. Primus is an alt-rock version of King Crimson, not Rush.

alt rock of King Crimson was King Crimson in the 80s.... which kinda
sucked MAJOR a.s. I cant imagine anything being as bad the 80s and 90s
King Crimson.

Well, even though I wasn't thinking in terms of what bands are better
than what other bands, I'll play anyway.
IMO, NO alternative rock bands are as good as the best classic rock
bands.

I totally disagree. The period from around 1991 to 1996 was as good as any
period in the history of music. And the best bands that released their
debuts in the early 90s are as good as any bands that have ever existed.

Unfortunately, I think this is true, almost by definition.

There are elements of Floyd in there, that's not a bad thing.

That band is another reason why we should quit buying things from
Britain. Any motherf..kers appearing on the cover of a magazine like
MOJO as many times as they have.... That should tell you something.
