Not Disappointed
Heard this song on shuffle today. My impressions of Radiohead have changed a great deal from when I was actively listening to them, mostly in the late 90’s. They sound much more conventional now. This is, no doubt, partly due to familiarity. It may even be a measure of how far they bent rock/pop convention so that it now includes them. They have been influential, in other words. But what really strikes me is Thom Yorke’s beautiful, beautiful voice. I don’t know how much notice his singing gets; most of the talk about Radiohead focusses on the arrangements and compositions. Those are good enough but it’s his voice that stands out for me.
Also, before there was Radiohead there was Can.
