WSJ, on Radiohead show

Like the Beatles – the only band with whom Radiohead can be compared for the arc of their career and their willingness to challenge their own legacy to an excellent result – Radiohead has evolved to a point where their only influence is themselves and their quest to be exceptional. But Radiohead does what the Beatles couldn't during the late stages of their career – they play their complex songs live, reproducing them to a degree, yet going beyond the recordings. From a distance, the band seems deliberately enigmatic – rock is filled with such poseurs – but in concert, they are deep within the music of the moment, as if wrapped in an invisible bubble of creativity
uh... wow. four, three, two…

such a horrible analogy … unlike the beatles, radiohead is such a deeply polarizing group … you can find just as many people/music critics who despise radiohead for their noodling as those who adore them
