But I'm not criticizing his right to speak, he can say this stuff, but we can also say things back. Which is what this is.

That's fine. I agree about Oasis. Nothing since their second album has been that great.

The difference is that Oasis doesn't ignore their big hits in favor of new stuff people are less interested in hearing.
I don't follow them that closely, but I imagine "Wonderwall" is always included in their setlists.

But he has a point. Play 'Creep' to a bunch of people who know nothing about Radiohead and their inflated reputation, then play any of the shit they've released on their last three albums and most people are going to prefer 'Creep'.

lol. my thoughts exactly

Huh? This is stupid. They've played Creep live since like 2001, and certainly play it more often than anything else off Pablo Honey. Noel is an idiot. The band knows it's a crowdpleaser but it's not like the fans give THAT much of a shit about the tune. It's not like if they don't play it, people will be unhappy. I think it's obvious to anyone but a complete moron that people would be much happier to hear stuff off OK Computer or Kid A, really...

I bet if you put Paranoid Android or Karma Police against Creep, they'd win.

I'm very glad to see people agreeing that Noel is an idiot.
And I think Thoms reply was absolutely genius in its own subtle way, as you'd expect from a very intelligent man.
