Wouldn't dream of trying to convince you otherwise. A ludicrous premise. Who would even want to try? You are assuming,falsely, that anyone cares what you think. About anything.
Well, if you think so, you're very lucky, for it means you have to listen to a lot of music and then find out you're wrong hahahahahaha. Good riddance in that journey.
Man, I'm pretty young - still watching Talking Heads, The smiths, Japan, King Crimson etc... people with good taste will always be drawn to this kind of music. Not trying to be an asshole, pop and R&B fans - it's just the truth!
Everybody in this band is an absolute genius. You can think of them as the smartest kids in the class and they're brainstorming for a group project. They are all in harmony and balanced
A lot of Radiohead’s songs are years in writing and reworking. Nude, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Life in a Glasshouse, and Burn the Witch are prime examples of years of work
The phrase "two plus two equals five" ("2 + 2 = 5") is a slogan used in many different forms of media, but more specifically in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four as an example of an obviously false dogma one may be required to believe, similar to other obviously false slogans by the Party in the novel.
I wonder how many notice that the people who are telling us 2 + 2 = 5 are yelling it day after day, every day, here and now, every time you turn on the radio or the tv.
thats exactly what it sounds like... But he says "you have not been paying attention" there's one on another song where it sounds like he says "I woke up sucking a lemon" but he is actually saying "I woke up stuck in a limo" funny
No one else could even conceive of writing a song like this… never mind recording it… never mind playing it live to this standard . I will never understand how some people cannot accept their genius

You have to admire Radiohead in their fight against musical convention.
They are attending the music convention.
You have to admire them for that and a whole lot more 👍
The greatest band of our time.. You can't convince me otherwise 👏👏💜
100%. Closest competition is still miles behind
Can’t convince you. Because I’m convinced you’re right.

This performance never gets old. All of the band right on the money. Colin & Phil holding the bottom end brilliantly; bet this is great fun to play.
Best band of all time
3.24 of perfection. kids will watch this in years to come the same way i watch talking heads and bowie on the old grey whistle reruns.

HD 720p making total difference. Radiohead songs deserve a HD plateau.

Christ. What a band.
Has it really been 14 years!? I still get a massive girl chub.
I love the way the song abruptly ends
Needs more telecasters
Took me nearly 20 years of listening to this band and getting stoned on a random evening to notice how great the bass line is in this one.
Billy Corgan really holding it down on the drums
Brilliance.
A man with a mission.-Creative and Playful.. ;0)
Thom Yorke. :-)

I’d say Beatles chet atkins and hendrix
Nobody comes close to Thom Yorke.@@zon6158
Outstanding....
Music greatness confirmed.
For anyone who didn't notice, the final beat comes in at 2.25 in the album version :O
Well, that has just changed
Guess we weren't paying attention
That is completely fantastic.
more and more, radiohead are making sounds near perfect for all audiences.
I still remember watching this when it played on TV and my mum telling me to turn it down as it was awful 😂 I really miss her.
That got dark QUICK

Drums struggled to keep up in some places.
Have to admire Radiohead for trying to wake the general population the feck up
