When did Radiohead turn into a Pink Floyd rip off?

I hadn't paid attention to the band since "Creep" but some folks at the
office insisted they were some transcendent force in music so I picked up
some of the later CDs. It sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. What is the big
deal?

If you think it sounds "exactly" like PF you should be a critic with your
tin ear.

Even if I did agree with your theory that Radiohead has become Pink
Floyd-esque (which I don't), I have to wonder how "on the ball" you
are considering the fact that the band, as a whole, hasn't released
almost anything new in around three years...

I'm really not a fan of Radiohead at all, but this statement is absurdly
and shamefully wrong.

mWo. It's not just the coolest, it's fa lyfe, so survey says
whether you like it or don't like it, never E-e-e-ver tell
me he did *not* just SMELL what mWo 3:16 reeks of.

And considering that "Creep" came out.. what.. 13? 14 years ago?

When did this turn into a rock music newsgroup?

Please don't crosspost!

I agree. They are not at all as good as Floyd. Although, atmospheric and
plodding, in a Floydian way, they lack the sonic mastery of space and
tension they are trying desperately to emulate. Their attempts at profound
introspection come off as merely whiney, undergraduate philosophy.
Insufferable.

why did the rec.pets.cats.health+behav newsgroup get dragged into this?
