that Radiohead arre NOT pop got this rresponce frrom some RH fan...ok... i cant take it no more. (sorrrry its a bit long, but i'd like like to know what you think)
all you fucking twats who think you are cool by thinking radiohead are above pop music... you guys seriously make me embarrassed to call myself a radiohead fan in the fear id be lumped with the egotistical elitist assholes which dominate this board.
radiohead are the best pop band since nirvana. creep alone justifys this position. it is not only one of the best pop songs of the past 10 years, its one of the all time great pop songs. fake plastic trees, high and dry, the bends would follow it shortly. Paranoid Android then began to stretch even further the pop genre. surely it must go down as one of the greatest moments in pop music history that a song with three seemingly unrelated musical sections and lyrics about 'kickin screamin gucci little piggys' can break into the british pop charts top three.
pyramid song - one of the most beautiful pop songs ever. even stuff of kid a, so often dismissed as too hard to get, has some wonderful pop songs on it. idioteque, how to disappear and perhaps most brilliantly of all, motion picture sountrack were the pop songs which pushed the genre in ways it hadnt been pushed since pet sounds.
nowadays radiohead are probably more a pop band than they have been since the bends. certainly for pure acessibility, not since karma police have radiohead been this accessible. the fact that there, there stayed in the british top 20 after its second week is more than enough evidence of radioheads existance as a pop band. the general public are still buying radiohead in their masses, it is not just the hardcore fans.
radiohead are the best and most important pop band since nirvana. that much is fact. in my opinion, they are the greatest pop band of all time surpassing the beatles and beach boys.

Some people don't seem to realise that "pop" no longer refers to "popular music" as it did years ago- it is now a genre that is defined by throwaway, manufactured music where the "singer" is invariably good looking and well dressed.
Just because something does well in the charts, doesn't mean it's pop- Tomkraft - Loneliness has enjoyed moderate chart success recently, but it is definately not "pop music" same can be said for The White Stripes- they're popular indie rock, not pop music.
NB: I don't mind pop on principle, I won't not listen to something, just because it's pop and hence "uncool". I freely admit I enjoyed a lot of Shakira's stuff, even though it is undeniably pop.

That was the point I trried to get acrross but he was not having it. I began to think i was wrrong.
me "Radiohead are not pop. Pop is a genre, it does not apply to everyband that is popular. once it may have, but not now."
him "yes it does. if a band is popular then they are a pop band,
because they dont make cheesy music like a majority of shit thats around these days doesnt mean they arent pop. with a few top ten hits and number 1 albums they are and always will be a pop band"
