July 2003 issue of Spin, Thom Yorke of Radiohead on the cover

While talking about Thom Yorke being a gymnast in high school, Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien says "It's like how Morrissey was a great long-distance runner in high school - nobody knows that, either". Later on the article says that The Smiths are one of the bands top two influences, whom all 5 members love unequivocally.

  • Radiohead and the smiths shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence together. Radiohead is the most talentless, over rated bunch of goofs i have ever heard.

    Long live Morrissey

    I could say more but you get the general idea
  • Well, I'm very pleased that Radiohead likes the Smiths, and even more that they're giving credit where credit is due... even if Moz doesn't seem to care for them (according to the Word interview, anyway - but then again, from what he said I don't even think he's given them a proper listen).

    I've always thought Radiohead were simply amazing, and their new CD sounds like it's going to be great. (Though admitedly, they're a required taste.) I think it would make my life to have that and new Morrissey material in the same year...

  • Radiohead is a band who has unlimited talents. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

  • I love Radiohead. One of the only current bands doing anything innovating and interesting. People just love to say they hate Radiohead because they are popular, and Radiohead bashing is fashionable at the moment. Listen to Exit Music, Street Spirit, Pyramid Song, etc. and tell me how they don't make beautiful music? Plus as far as an ode to The Smiths goes, Knives Out is excellent and does justice to J Marr, IMHO. See you at the Hollywood Bowl this summer....
