History YMMV / Radiohead

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome - [[CrowningMusic/{{Radiohead}} Needed its own page.]]

* * EnsembleDarkhorse - Interestingly enough, the b-sides themselves have gained a massive fanbase, with tracks such as "Talk Show Host," "Cuttooth," and "Kinetic" being the most successful examples.

** {{Miley Cyrus}} [[SubvertedTrope attempted to]] [[InvokedTrope invoke this]]. After the 2009 Grammys, Miley was snubbed by the band when she asked for a sitdown with the band. [[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/miley-cyrus-snubbed-by-radiohead-vows-to-ruin-them-20090305 When asked about it on the radio]], [[MinorInjuryOverreaction she promptly went off on a highly emotional and uncomfortable-to-listen to rant, swearing that she would "ruin them"]].[[hottip:*:Many are unsure as to which is sillier: the rant itself, or the fact that Miley's evidently a Radiohead fan]] Attempts to do so have not appeared on the media's radar, if they have been made at all. The tension between the ''fandoms'' is actually minor.

* ParanoiaFuel "Climbing up the Walls"

** Thom has taken many liberal political positions on subjects such music distribution and concern for the media coverage of/general actions taken concerning global warming.

* DethroningMomentOfSuck - Arguably the universal "WTF?" produced by the puzzled millions when Thom Yorke decided to write a song for a {{Twilight}} movie. [[YourMileageMayVary Whether or not the franchise is good is subjective]], but the surprise is not.
** YourMileageMayVary on the song itself. It got a positive response from many YouTube users, but apparently some fans consider it this.
** The announcement that Thom Yorke would be doing a song for the soundtrack was the [[AndTheFandomRejoiced reason]] why indie rock artists like St. Vincent, Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear contributed songs to the soundtrack, since if Thom Yorke was doing it, it had to be okay.

* MemeticMutation - Thom's dancing in the Lotus Flower video has been dubbed with, for instance, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xgeT2hzxrQ&feature=player_embedded Single Ladies]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vnjOUKXqm9Q the Benny Hill theme]].

* CrowningMomentOfFunny - The video for [["http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfOa1a8hYP8 Lotus Flower".]] Doubly so when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xgeT2hzxrQ the music is replaced by "Single Ladies"...]]

* VindicatedByHistory - ''Kid A'' got mixed reviews when it first came out, but now it's considered the best album of the '00s by many.

* MegatonAnnouncement: For most Radiohead fans, Valentine's Day 2011 started out as a fairly average day. [[http://pitchfork.com/news/41561-radiohead-to-release-new-album-this-saturday/ It didn't end as one]].

* OldShame - The Pablo Honey era in general; songs from then are virtually never performed anymore, with the exception of Creep every dozen or so shows. It also had [[SoBadItsGood excellent]] performances such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXUBE_wiPtU this one]], in which Thom starts screaming, and then dives into a pool.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel - ''The Bends'' is a '''lot''' more refined than ''Pablo Honey''.

* DisContinuity - In most fans' eyes, ''Pablo Honey'', with the exception of/particularly "Creep". Although "Anyone Can Play Guitar" and "Blow Out" are considered the best songs off the album - if you dislike "Creep". It's divisive like that.
* FandomRivalry - with {{Music/Muse}} and {{Coldplay}}.

** "Fitter Happier" is a list of random, vaguely authoritarian slogans set to a minimalist soundscape and an out-of-tune piano.
