I thought this was interesting.
Radiohead's Ed O'Brien made this statement in the June 2001 Mojo:
"My suggestion for OK Computer's follow-up had been to say, Let's go back top the well-crafted three-and-a-half minute song. I came from idolising The Smiths in the 80's and I thought that would be the shocking thing to do. It was really difficult because, as a musician, I express myself more emotionally then cerebrally."
The article also mentions the Radiohead song "Knives Out" pays homage to the groups teenage infatuation with The Smiths.
