Yes, I'd say that's a fair statement, because they have such a wide range of genres thath they tap into. For example, I was expecting Hail To The Thief to be almost all rock-y (based on the 4 songs from the album I heard up to that point), but then I heard some of the songs (The Gloaming and Myxomatosis) and I was like wtf is this?!? But then sometimes you see live performances of songs and they just click after that. For those two songs I watched the "From the Basement" performances, and after watching them I said "oh wow I get it now, these are awesome". Don't get me wrong, there are some songs over their career that I just don't like; but I like the majority of their songs and I have oodles of respect for them doing what they do.
Hey! I checked out the thread you showed me, and I must say, I did learn a lot from it! I see that Radiohead is a band that takes time to pace yourself into getting into?
