Some of 'Amnesiac' is phenomenal: panoramic space-rock echoing The Beta Band ('Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box' about "the road rage psycho from Hell"), olde Radiohead through a vocal echo chamber ('You And Whose Army?'), Thom fronting The Smiths ('Knives Out' - "Ed played it to Johnny Marr," grins Thom, "and he went, 'Yeah!' It's a humble interpretation, everyone's influenced by everyone else, just depends who's on the radio"), The Stone Roses? "Zeppelin" era ('I Might Be Wrong') and pre-"the" Verve ('Dollars And Cents').--- Optik_nerv writes: Jonny Greenwood mentioned The Smiths in an interview recently about their latest release AMNESIAC. The full interview is here: Spinning Plates - Dallas Observer Online (May 31) Excerpt: JG: ...But then you've got some quite straight-ahead songs like "Knives Out," where we just enjoyed the fact that you've got five minutes of music that doesn't really change, and it's very...In a way it's trying to be the Smiths or something. So, you know, we'll try anything; we're shameless like that.

If I may do a comparison:
How To Disappear Completley- Asleep
Street Spirit(Fade Out)-Well I Wonder
I'm not trying to start something, these are just some thoughts I had. Of course here is my list of my favorite artists:
1. The Smiths/Morrissey
2. Trembling Blue Stars/The Field Mice
3. Radiohead
4. U2
5. Belle And Sebastian

Especially, earlier Radiohead. Take a listen to some of the more rockish numbers from "Pablo Honey." Songs like "Anyone Can Play Guitar" and "Ripcord" remain a couple of my favorites of the band and when listened to, they have a very similar feel as some to classic rockish Smiths' songs like "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" and "London."
And when you listen to live versions of the four of these songs they are all that much more better and similar in feel, even the feel the vocals bring to it. Very cool stuff. Of course, that's not to say that Radiohead's songs are in anyway simply imitations or cheap versions of Smiths' songs. Their songs are just as powerful and important, but I think they did learn from the best a bit on how to rock like rock & roll should rock.
Another lesser comparison I've made between two good songs by two great bands, is Radioheads B-Side "India Rubber"("Fake Plastic Trees-UK)and a song titled "Glamoruous Glue" by Morrissey (the band not the man).

made about them (Meeting people is easy) Thom Yorke mentions claims that every note of strangeways is 'imprinted on my heart'.
Ed O'brien once said johnny marr was a god.
And yes, I'm a big Radiohead fan.

Well then...
Anyway, Amnesiac is exceptional. I really do like the direction Radiohead seems to be sailing its ship these days.
Radiohead and the Smiths and Morrissey (Score:1)
Radiohead started around 87-88, right after the Smiths broke up! Coincidence? I think that they've secured the title of best group out of England since that time...just like the Smiths had it in the 80's.

Truly Disappointed (Score:3, Insightful)
So what happened? 'Kid A' was alright if I was in the mood to be lulled to a dreamless sleep state and once in a while that was ok. But truthly, nothing stellar stood out there. A very forgettable CD...just one more thing to dust.
So then there's all this hype about 'Amnesiac' and how it's going to be the album "you will never forget". LOL, ok, yeah. I've listened to it 9 times through now and still hear nothing of any interest. Can you say SNORE. As if 'Kid A' wasn't already a sleeping pill. I'm sorry folks, but the ringing in the ears after a couple Sominex chased by a beer is more interesting than this CD.
Don't waste your money...no matter how much you once loved Radiohead. It's just not the same. Talk about a disapointment.
