Ok ok but I'm been thinking for awhile and this is the first time I've had an excuse to say it * flamesuit on *:
If you start at Violent Femmes and draw a straight line to Coldplay, you have to pass through Radiohead.

Been saying that for years. Same for Muse, although they took after different parts of Radiohead's ouvre. Never really felt anyone huge corresponded to the Kid A/Amnesiac stuff though. Nobody jumps out there.
That reminds me of a funny interview moment where some music journalist in the 2000’s asked Thom York, “So how to you respond to newer bands like Muse who are capitalizing on your sound?” And Thom goes, “Good luck with Kid A.”
Thom Yorke's media shenanigans in the 90s/early 00s are on par with Dylan in the 60s. Just clowning on them constantly.
Coldplay - radiohead lite.
Muse - radiohead heavy.
Snow patrol - Coldplay light but also better strangely
I think i only know chasing cars
Edit: also know Run
I know someone that would feel insulted by this
Oh? Is that chris marten by chance or maybe matt bellamy?
Do you know why they would feel insulted?
Absolutely. Coldplay has always been a "poor man's" Radiohead.
Kid A makes all the ballfarts worth it.
For OK Computer, I'd keep them in forever and ever. Worth it!
Everything in its right place.
Reminds me of the song written by AI "I Glued My Balls to My Butthole Again".
Comments turned off lol
there's a better timeline where this is the only kind of thing AI was ever used for
that and accurately help people with their taxes and other menial, tedious tasks
well we already have answers for most of those, taxes in many countries outside the US are just something you get a paper from the state and you sign it to verify the numbers as accurate.
As a ballfarter I feel seen
My wife's favorite band is Radiohead
TI(also)L: my wife has balls and they are in her butthole.
Your wife has good taste.
But Coldplay is already that!
But Radiohead is like 7 years older? So confused, time travel?
Coldplay's music is so powerful, it inspired other bands before they even formed
Teenage edgelord who thinks Korn is peak metal.
