    David Byrne is so close with the band Radiohead that he can refer to it by the band's first name Radio.

      That's because he's autistic! Speaking as an autistic person myself (I was specifically diagnosed with Asperger's when I was a kid, but as of 2013 it's been absorbed into the autism spectrum), it's always hard trying to understand and fit in with allistic social norms, even if you're able to pass as neurotypical, and Byrne displays that quite readily.

    Radiohead are a rare example of band getting better and more interesting as they go on; for all the obsession with The Bends and OK Computer (and there are some terrific songs on those albums), I totally relate to what David Byrne says here, Kid A was my proper conversion to the band, and since then I don't reckon they've looked back, really good albums, some of the best of the era, and in In Rainbow's, a flat out masterpiece; unlike many more recent RARHOF inductions, they certainly deserve there place

      An alternative band with mysterious lyrics and a moaning vocalist who once heard Aphex Twin and Autechre and got an idea how to incorporate electronics into their rock stuff to sell more records. Meanwhile Coldplay did nothing of that and got way more successful. And I'll take Parachutes over OK Computer anytime when I want to cheer myself up.

    I'd heard "Creep" when I was in high school, and was aware of The Bends when it came out, but they were just another band to me then. A good band, but just a band. Then in college, in January of 1998 I had a radio show at the college station in St. Louis and I saw this album "OK Computer" by Radiohead. I thought, "Okay. Let's check it out."
    Pop it in the player. Press "Play."
    "Airbag." Yeah, okay. I'm digging it. Cool rhythms, awesome guitar lead-in.
    "Paranoid Android." What the shit is this?! MY MIND IS MELTIIIIIIIIIING!! I'm going to Vintage Vinyl immediately after my show.
    Everything after that was gravy.

    The thing that I love about Radiohead is just how much you can through the decade they are in just through the music. You can hear a record and, for better or worse, identify when it came out down to the individual month of it's creation.
    Pablo Honey is like the perfect example. It's a peak 90s alt and grunge rock album that has not aged well to today's standards. But I mean you can hear it and without knowing anything else just know that this is some post-In Utero and pre-Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness music.

Glorious. And what a wonderful, wonderful thing that we also get to 'know', in the broadest sense, the people who create it.

    I remember when Pablo Honey came out. It was the year before I started playing guitar, I was in 6th grade & a friend picked it up from his sister in college. I thought it was total garbage & had no interest. Not sure if it was maturity, musical progression or a fresh introduction but when ok computer came out I was sucked in. It was like I suddenly understood & went back to enjoy the previous 2 albums. They stretched my perspective of music & opened my ears to sounds I didn't want to hear before. They became one of my biggest musical influences. Jonny Greenwood was a guitarist that I related to heavily. A friend I was spending a lot of time with mocked my interest when ok computer came out, she had just started playing guitar at the time. A few years later I ran into her & kid A had caught her attention. She had become obsessed. I was lucky to catch concerts for kid A, amnesiac & hail to the thief, 3 of the best shows I have seen to this day.
    I learned so much by listening to them & in my mind they are right there with the mist influential bands in rock history. They are their own beast with hints of everything mixed in.
    In my mind they couldn't have picked anyone better to induct them.

    I'll be honest, with my upbringing with straight up hard rock/metal/grunge, the more experimental albums like Kid A and beyond took more time to get into. But, The Bends and OK Computer were remarkable combinations of the more distorted loud guitars of their time with the more alternative almost avant-garde ideas for other sounds and lyrics. I like just about everything on The Bends. On OK Computer, Karma Police is one of the songs I consider among the best in all of alt rock history.

    Okay, just to set the scene, my first record I bought was A Hard Days Night by the Beatles in 1964. I didn’t pay for the In Rainbows, dwnload I just bought the CD in January the next year and then I pretty much played it every day for months and months. And of course still do. It is absolutely awesome. If I had been 15 to 20 years younger then Radiohead would’ve been my Pink Floyd. But of course they are equally awesome and brilliant. It’s just an age thing. I have seen Pink Floyd many times but sadly I have never seen Radiohead yet.

    I think David Byrne may have confused the timeline here a bit. There were no such thing as an app in 2000 and Kid A was never released as an app. The only app Radiohead ever did was for The King of Limbs. He was probably thinking about Napster and P2P but didn't know the terminology of it.

    • @kwizzeh
      @kwizzeh 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Ehh, "App" still stands for "Application" last I checked. While it wasn't a modern definition of an app is today, it certainly was an app - a Java applet to be specific. A web embed that streamed the album and linked to a pre-order site for the album. Many things we take for granted now was far ahead of it's time and infancy when Kid A was marketed back in 2000.
