oh man I'm about ready to put my foot through the computer...nails on a chalk board
Something livelier today, please?!? I'm falling asleep with this set. Matches the nasty Chicago weather.
I've been wondering who this song is for about 5 years. Retrieved it as a Radiohead track back in the heydays of Napster - when anyone could name anything anything.
Yes! We need more radiohead sounding music out there! Thank you!
Oh man... this blows.
I was surprised to look through all the comments and not see anybody mention the group and song that (I think) this most resembles: The Alan Parsons Project doing \"Time\". Just try this: \"Time........flowing like a river.......to the sea.....\". While he may be channeling Thom Yorke, they\'re both thinking of Alan Parsons and the Moody Blues.

point taken :) I guess I was on my high horse that night. My apologies.
Wow, this guy really did study at the Institute of Thom York

Coldplay WANTS to be Radiohead
So far this is the worst song I\'ve heard on RP.
All the musical styling of a rusty geartrain. Reminds me of those fun days when my friends would scrape their nails on the chalk board so chills would run down your spine. They do harken to Radiohead but Radiohead can pull this style off and is much more listenable.
I don\'t care who this sounds like. It sounds great on RP, especially following Malkmus and Finn and before Come Together. Which you arguing should do by the way. Hell, hardly any music would be played if not for references to other songs and artists. Enjoy. And if you don\'t like it, the next song or two will probably be up your alley - if not, maybe the funk, or whatever, station is where you $ really should be. Peace.
