I know how it is being a musician myself too. I'm usually one to give bands a pass. But when the songs your band is most well known for are very similar to other songs, it's suspect.

They probably had very little to do with what songs were picked to release as singles, though.

Customer of mine sits 7 rows up in the 100’s. His season ticket price is 57 x 2 so 114 per game. He went to the game the other day and got talking to the guy next to him. He asked if he got the tickets from “Bob”. Kid replied no paid 8 bucks on stub hub.

So yes you are seeing tickets that low.

People are not showing up to games. It's more likely that he bought a 300 level ticket for $8, and then moved down.

If you think they are most well known to the general public for Creep, you are right.

But any other music fan places Creep, and Karma Police, as roughly Radiohead's 72nd and 73rd best song.

Your ice cold take is becoming downright frozen.

The 2 songs he brought up aren't even in the top 40 of best Radiohead songs.

Suppose the Sharks had buyers remorse with Burns. Would anyone take that contract on?

His numbers look fine, although paying him $8M per until he turns 40 sounds like nothing resembling a good idea.

No, but he's right, Creep put them on the map.

Sure did, and they despised the song, even before it was released.

Without Creep, The Bends and OK Computer remain as long lasting, incredible albums.

Creep was the right song at the right time for them, however.

And I agree, two phenomenal albums.

I still listen to OK Computer, in full, at least once every two weeks, and I feel like I hear new sounds every time I listen.

Hot take: Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Garbage band

I thought I was the only one who thought that.




And if you're being sarcastic.

this (frank)ing guy listens to lana del rey and calls radiohead overrated and says their songs are ripoffs

stop

I'm a raging fanboy of Radiohead and I don't even disagree about them being overrated but your opinion is literally worth less than the rabbit turds i stepped in walking home from the bus stop today.

As long as we all can agree that Dave Mathews Band sucks then I don't care about them liking or hating any other band

Good. I just don't get it. Like you said "garbage" is hyperbole, but definitely overrated.

I disagree. If the gm has a plan and sticks to it then so be it.
The thought that he darcy did it to save face is absurd. If he wanted to save face he would have let him walk and stuck to his plan and been rewarded with 4 extra firsts for doing so. He fumbled the ball bigtime with that move imo.

You never know what would've happened, but we do know one thing, the Oilers management were and remain utterly incompetent, so it's possible those picks would've been just as good even with Vanek there.
