Oh radiohead, Thom yorke has such a voice...his lyrics are poetry...One of my fave is "15 steps" its an incredible track...Interesting reactions as always...Thanks🙂🎶🙏
Love the Johnny Rotten comparison. 😂😂 That was my reaction the first time I saw Thom in the “High and Dry” video in ‘95. I think he has that punk ethos in the way he approached the music industry machine.
*Rory.* Great reaction as always 😊 Tons to peel back and think about with Radiohead. If you want to tackle an album, do Ok Computer. You are now becoming an honorary Gen Xer 😁♥️ Also ... if you want to get past the Johnny Rotten thing, some people have said Thom Yorke looks like Tilda Swinton. You're welcome 😄
and yeah, THIS IS THE SONG that really got Radiohead huge, it wasn't fucking Creep...this is the one, along with the album, that gained Radiohead millions of LIFETIME fans. Like most people I pretty much ignored Creep and Pablo, this was the one that made everyone go 'ooh!' especially when paired with the video, which is the first in a string of about 8 amazing videos in a row thru OKC. But Fake Plastic is the one that started it all off...Creep was basically just a temporary 'false-start' for the band, a premature start, but this was the real beginning of the true Radiohead we all know and love. ALSO...be sure to look up Jeff Buckley's influence on this song, it's a great story.
Check out PIL Hawaii As beautiful a song John Lyndon has ever sung A tribute to his Ailing wife Nora PIL entered it in Eurovision Contest to bring attention to Alzheimer’s It’s a heartbreaking song
Hoping Conan can eventually HD re-post his mountain of music clips, like Letterman has, he had SO many great 90's/early 2k band moments that sadly are almost all online only in horrific grainy quality. I would at least like to see him/them re-post all those special White Stripes/Strokes/S Pumpkins/Bowie moments, he pretty much got everybody on that show *EXCEPT* Mr Jeffery Scott Buckley...as did NO ONE ELSE in the whole fucking country. HOW THE F DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!?! No Letterman, Leno, Conan, no MTV performance...which is extra weird because Columbia LOVED him, saw him as a 'legacy artist' like Dylan, they didn't make ONE phone call?? So fucking strange, and pathetic. [ball drop gif]
Check out their performance of this at Glastonbury 2003. It’s on UA-cam. You’re welcome.
One of the greatest bands of all time
That's a cool take on Thom and Johnny rotten. I never thought of that, very cool.

Check out the whole The Bends album .Its probally more assessable then Ok Computer.
Loved their 1st 3 albums especially The Bends. Their live at The Astoria dvd is tremendous. Very powerful and worth a watch
It's going to be a mind blowing journey brother. Looking forward to experiencing it with you
Whether you react to it or not, hit the studio version. The complicated instrumentation and delicate voice sound even better with really good audio.
Yes hes amazing 😂❤
One of my, if not totally my favorite song of theirs. Damn they sounded good here live.
Soft then rockin then soft again Love it!
Queen did that first , oh maybe Led Zeppelin before that too !

haha Tilde Swinton, I see it. Gen X all the way!
I know Creep and I listened to one album by them. I need to listen to them all. I DIG them! Never heard this track.
Mate… you made my day again!
Nice one for doing their earlier stuff first!

A very young Thom
that song (and album) perfected '90s rock. other people kept trying for a few more yeats and then gave up and just started the next decade.
Go watch Radio head headlining Glastonbury 95 ,fucking awesome 👌
see Live versions at festivals like Glastonbury . . takes off
Rory , you know Thom is Lydon's cousin right ? I thought you knew that 🤣
Seriously???
Stop it 😅

Mo you're brilliant fo
Please try Merkaba
I think Thom and John Lydon are actually related
I totally see Johnny Rotten writing these kind of lyrics later in his career, unfortunately he bought his own hype
