spin journalist makes ridiculous claims about the almighty

in an relatively recent spin article, journalist chris norris wrote up a little ditty for the inclusive headline "16 rock myths debunked". norris's contribution: "myth number 1: radiohead can do no wrong." he argues that radiohead suffers from "gimmick hit syndrome," which he describes as such:


"Thanks to "Creep," from their 1993 debut, Pablo Honey, the band contracted Gimmick Hit Syndrome and began the usual defensive career arc. To prove they were more than a grunge one-liner, they recorded the smart, powerful anthems of The Bends. To prove they weren't just excellent rock songwriters, they dug deep and created the stunning OK Computer, whose melancholy sweep of strange, gorgeous songs played like an elegy for modern man. With that, Radiohead supernovaed, garnering every superlative there was, including comparisons to epochal albums like Dark Side of the Moon. Then they had to make another one..."


blah blah blah, shut up. seriously, chris norris, i couldn't disagree more. as far as radiohead is concerned, the only issue i have is that pitchfork media will never rate an album a ten unless it is put out by the almighty five. all jokes aside, radiohead is a band by which i feel my generation can be defined by. i don't know you, chris, but i feel sorry for you.
