Why Geeks Love Radiohead? because they're not very big music fans.
Radiohead has a song called "Palo Alto"? Well here's an album called Chip-Meditation by a group called Software: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=132407 http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=132407
Radiohead uses a mathematical basis for composition? Try an album by Autechre and try and let your brain parse the mathematical precision and complexity of the music.
That's not to say that Radiohead aren't a decent pop group: they have proven that they are. I'm just sayin that based upon the points brought up by the author, Radiohead are pretty entry-level
- polshaw 15y agoI don't agree at all with this article, imo loving music has nothing to do with the things in the article. But to claim Radiohead fans aren't big music fans is massively closed-minded. You might not like them, and that's fine. However, Radiohead are highly acclaimed by music lovers (OK computer topping lots of respected 'best of the 90's' lists etc).
- jtheory 15y agoI got the impression that arrakeen is saying, if the article were correct, then that would mean geeks don't know much music. Because if they went searching for music that ticked off all of the boxes listed in the article, they'd fine other stuff that did it far more. But the article isn't really on the mark (I don't think so either), so the conclusion about geeks doesn't hold water either.
