Is it? I'm a fan, but my perception is that for most people their career started and ended with Creep, and not only that, but the "you're so very special" cut of Creep.
- yaseer 9y agoThat might be 'most people' (i.e. the average pop music listener), but Radiohead still have a huge, huge fan following. They've sold tens of millions of records, and nearly every album has gone platinum (I believe the last two were merely gold...).
- csallen 9y agoI wonder if numbers like this are really a reliable indicator of what's going on. The world is big enough that you can be "niche" and still appeal to millions. I would also assume that fans of niche groups are more fanatical and supportive than fans of mainstream groups with broad appeal, which could equate to a much higher sales:fan ratio. Just speculating, though.
- toyg 9y agoNo, at least in Europe "Fake Plastic Trees", "Just" and "Karma Police" were bigger than Creep. For most people their career ended with Kid A.
