I don't give a fuck about Radiohead or any of these bands! They can all share the title if they want to!

Surprised that Coldplay and Muse aren't in that list. They all seem to fall into that genre.

Your mom is the new radiohead because she's a creep and a weirdo, and people regularly ask her "what the hell are you doing here?"

― second dullest ILXor since 1929 (snoball), Sunday, 8 July 2012 07:43 (thirteen years ago)

I have never heard Starsailor but I am going to pretend they called themselves that in homage to Starcastle as Yes-alikes, making Starsailor Radiohead-alikes? I don't know, I'm not voting.

― chupacabra seeds (Abbbottt), Sunday, 8 July 2012 15:23 (thirteen years ago)

Starsailor were named after the Tim Buckley album iirc

― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 8 July 2012 17:37 (thirteen years ago)

I mean that's kind of an outlier, but buckley was one of the only ”rock” ppl along w van morrison that really went beyond lip service and genuinely took a jazz performance approach to what he was doing....maybe pentangle too

― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 8 July 2012 17:40 (thirteen years ago)

your mom took a jazz perrormance approach if you know what I mean

― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 8 July 2012 17:43 (thirteen years ago)

i'm not a huge tim buckley fan i agree w/ that and that he's better than everyone itt besides u2, i was just making a timbaland joke (xpost)

― I'm HOOSin' out, 36 o's, so I'm drivin' round with that steena (some dude), Sunday, 8 July 2012 17:43 (thirteen years ago)

Talking of Starsailor, I can't think of too many other bands where the difference in quality between what they were named after and the records they actually produced is quite so vast.
