And the wise man say, "I don't want to hear your voice"
And the thin man say, "I don't want to hear your voice"
And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be
And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

And the mother say, "We spit on your son some more"
And the buildings say, "We spit on your face some more"
And the feeling is that there's something wrong
Because I can't find the words and I can't find the songs

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Can't remember what it is
Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Can't remember what it is

It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway

Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Stop whispering, start shouting

The problem with allot of diehard Rh fans is that they take their work to be way too serious. Profound!  Yes it is, but they also have a pretty vast catalog spanning decades of experimental change. Not every artist is a master with their first offering. They have periods of different directions. Thom will be the first to tell you that they are artists first and entertainers second, and thus everyone experiences their work differently. If you are a true fan you should appreciate and respect all of their output...even anyone can play guitar and Creep...LOL

It doen't sound at all like Garbage! Garbage is much more alternative rock, or post-grunge. Radiohead in the 90ties was more of a indie band.

Just wanted to comment on the comments... Learned something while browsing after a working microwave supper... You can go an look at comments and ratings for other people 
Only discovered this due to the hard time being given to Tux - who is obviously a die-hard anti-fan of RH and U2 - and gets enthusiastic in his negativity!!

What an amazing place this is - though it's sometimes hard to believe we're all here for the music given the venom that goes into some posts. To paraphrase - Listen and Let Listen!!

brings me back to college... No haters.  Listen to this album then move onto Kid A and In Rainbows.  This band can do a lot... more than most!

This is just, kind of, generic Radiohead.

What an interesting segue from Philip Glass's "Anthem 1" from Powaqqatsi.

I find all Radiohead songs at least interesting and very good since seing them live on Later with Jools Holland three times some years ago. Awesome sound in a small studio.

Wow - I think either your ears are bad or you need to flush out your headgear.   
 
At our house, we don't even use the names U2 and Radiohead in the same conversation without genuflecting toward Wellingborough. . .

What? The time when this Creep actually tried to sing, instead of the usual moaning business.

Yes, I know they're not really that similar, but this radiohead cover always reminds me of this:

Nah.  All of it is pretty bad.  Except Creep, I like that one.  Of course it was a rip off of the Hollies, but anyhoo.

Great song.  The remix improves on the original, I think.  I found Pablo Honey early on and loved them from then in.  I just don't understand them any more, though ...

Some people don't "get" Radiohead.
A friend thought "The Bends" was just noise.
Quite sad really, because they are truly missing out.

Well if that isn't the damndest damn thing. A RH song I actually liked without having to rationalize myself into liking it. A ringing, rousing track that induces me to lean closer and dig in dig it. The lyrics are not quite rousing and happy -- it IS Radiohead, after all -- but the music takes me to a place I think no other RH has ever taken me. Damn.

"Ohhh, Radiohead. Sometimes they give me a headache, but this song is just wonderful..."

i agree completely.
and this version is very interesting, although i have to say that the original is better. done with a haunting intensity that gives me goosebumps each time i hear it.

I think they did it on that "Seven television commercials" DVD (or whatever it was called).  Which is well worth watching if you are a fan.

Acoustic guitars! Yup, it's old Radiohead. I love the new album, but they should pick up their traditional instruments more often.

hmm, to my recollection this version doesn't sound that different... maybe just a bit more polished/produced - and that synth keyboard sounding bit at the end seems out of place, but otherwise the same.

If it makes you feel any better, my player says it's "Sheep", the website is *still* claiming it's this song, but the music coming out is unquestionably Bono *g*. Something isn't quite right...

This sounds nothing like U2. For once it doesn't have the "stadium" guitar sound of the EDGE. Yorke actually sings on this song. Nice!

I like this song in the Pablo Honey LP version, not this version. In general, I prefer the first two albums from Radiohead than the rest, despite everybody's opinion. I think that The Bends is a remarkable 90's album

Based on the "Show song comments" results, I wouldn't say in balance. While there are some genuinely positive comments, you seem to lean towards the negative more often than the inverse. You also seem to take a pretty snappy tone with people pretty quickly. Other than that, you obviously like more here than you dislike based on your voting results. Eh, whatever I guess. Not even sure why I went to look.
