Why Radiohead is the blackest white band. - When I am king, you will be first against the wall, with your opinion which is of no consequence at all

Cultural appropriation shit aside; this is why I don't like people who wax philosophical about music. Most of their discussion is mental masturbation about how much they get it and how it speaks to them.
Im pretty sure the clash is the blackest white band... their Reggae tracks are far superior to Marley and co. there is only one superior (black) Reggae artist and thats Lee Perry, a total mad man...
I’ve never met a person who liked more than a few Radiohead songs that wasn’t a total insufferable faggot

As soon as I saw the title I knew it would use the band members namedropping Ornette Coleman/Miles Davis/whoever in the 90s to make the case that there's some nebulous lineage from jazz to Radiohead.
As if blues and a bit of jazz isn't already encoded into the DNA of rock n roll in general. If you played MC5 for somebody who doesn't know about music and told them the band was black, they wouldn't think twice about it.
Radiohead just understood what impresses middlebrow musos enough that they knew to signal it.

Or who sang “Creep” while on a drunken (though, possibly drugged out) binge
I have never met a single black person that listened to Ornette Coleman. A few noisy horns on The National Anthem does not free jazz make, not to mention there have been PLENTY of bands before Radiohead that did that. And bingo to that last sentence.
is it?
" We took a little country music, put some pop in and dressed it up in soul "
"And they called us rockabillies, long before they called it rock 'n' roll"
Wanda Jackson knows her stuff....
the only good Jazz comes from an anime soundtrack... made by a Japanese woman.
The rest is just incredible disgusting sound...
the only Jazz influence in modern music comes from Zappa citations of small Jazz parts-
He was just a madman playing everything...
they are just not offending shit...
they have a to rich instrument sound for a black band...

Anyone who read "Orbiting", Alex Ross's article on Radiohead in his book Listen To This, will see that they've made random, pseudo-erudite name-dropping into an art.
Mark E. Smith never asked for his n-word pass.
Real talk, I would probably say that the whitest band would probably be some indie folk shit like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver or Twee Pop like Belle and Sebastian. I've met niggas who listened to Prog Rock, country music, classical, metal, grunge, but I've never met a nigga who liked sickly sweet cardigan-wearing shit. That music is more "whites-only" than a country club in the Deep South during the Jim Crow era.

It's honestly a shame we didn't get more bands like Living Colour. William DuVall and Howard Jones are trying to fill the gap but we really, really need more black rockers.
I’m only into their O.K. Computer album and single “Everything is in its right place” because I’m a normie.
You must be mistaking Radiohead for Siouxie and the Banshees.
This is cultural appropriation!

Three, actually.
My guitar instructor told me to start at pablo honey and go through to okay computer. Pablo Honey sucked. The Bends? They were getting better. Okay Computer? I think that was were they found their sound. Then I stopped listening.
This article is shit. Charles Mingus is a fucking legend and Radiohead should have been post-birth aborted.
I tried listening to Kid A once after seeing it mentioned on /mu/ or something. Wasn't particularly impressed and didn't care enough to seek out more of their work. I guess they're one of those acts that just doesn't "click" with me, whatever that means.

It seems like I am the only person who thinks they suck.
