Radiohead

In music, as in history of music, there was always a before and after something or someone. Well, for me there is a before and there will be def be an after Radiohead.


They are not just a 'band', they are an experience, an answer, they are what I signed up for when I realized music was life. If there was a planet named music, Radiohead would be its satellite.


It's almost impossible to try to bring them down to heart, to understand they're actually just some guys making music, going to a studio to record, going on the road for tours, giving autographs, having a pint and a normal meal. For WSG, they don't exist like that, they are superior to that. That's it, don't try to convince me Thom Yorke is just a random guy, he is not.


In each single album they've proved it's not only about making money, or getting sympathy, for Radiohead is all about taking their fans to another dimension, is making sure we are all treated in a very special way. On WSG music collection there is Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows and The King Of Limbs, guess I'm just missing Hail to The Thief, pretty solid obsession collection. Well, it's not really an obsession after Kid A, it was just a matter of respect. 


And there goes WSG's favorite - if such word is meaningful when talking about Radiohead. Kid A is simply the work of a visionary. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe the feelings and sounds of each single track in the album. It's pure magic in music shapes.


Ok, WSG will open the books and share what is - for the sake of transparency and epic-ness (if that is a word) - one of the best songs ever made, Idioteque:
