Is one of the five Radiohead's cover of Ceremony which was a Joy Division song (only relased under the New Order name because IC died)?

It should be.

So I count that, "House of Cards" and about 38% of "Paranoid Android."

That makes 2.38, not 5, and one was a cover.

Meantime --- LWTUA, She's Lost Control, Transmission, Atmosphere, Isolation . . . FFS.

I'm not a massive JD fan, but I would take Decades, She's Lost Control, Isolation, New Dawn Fades, Atmosphere, Ceremony, LWTUA and Digital over anything Radiohead have ever done.
Radiohead is just warbling misery.

The bottom line is JD's misery was 100% real (and within their music you hear the struggle and sometimes find them breaking free . . . "Dance dance dance / To the radio") and RH's is fake, and cynical, and a grift.

I have a moral objection to this band in addition to a musical one. They've fooled millions of teenagers and young adults who all through periods of wallowing as their brains develop into thinking they're profund. No one ever went broke playing the "misery loves company" card, ever.

And let's also add that Peter Hook -- **** that he can be -- was and is one the great and most influential and novel bassists of all time. Who does Radiohead have in any musical seat you can say that about? The perpetual whinger Yorke, who had the incredible balls to claim Neil Young influenced him? Fuck off with that.

I can -- and will -- go on and on and on regarding this topic, which may be the musical prejudice I am more willing to defend than nearly any other ("The Eagles are mostly shit" is close).

Thankfully for all here, we're getting another song battle soon.

I've just learnt that there is someone who can drone on more pointlessly than Thom Yorke
