Not enough people would kill for Radiohead

That's what a friend said to me once. I don't really see how anyone could dislike Radiohead. Tonight I got to thinking about why I like a band, or what makes a group legitimately good. In Radiohead's case, it's because they've created such a distinct style without resorting to fleeting trends/gimmicks. They don't try to be pretty (and, face it, they're not). They dress like normal people, kind of like bums even. Their music is it. But I'm not left wanting. Thom Yorke's pure, haunting voice, the enchanting melodies, and mega-fresh beatz are more than enough. They just play/sing what moves them, so it moves the audience. With music, you can kind of just tell when someone's following their heart and when they're in it for the fame.
