The Hold Steady: 'Radiohead have lost the plot'

Band criticise Oxford quintet's pay what you want plan

I'll never understand this intolerance for other people's taste in music. Yes Radiohead fans can be pretty militant with their views, but then calling Radiohead "boring, pretentious, and self-indulgent" hardly cools the issue. Radiohead and The Hold Steady are both, in my view, pretty wonderful bands. You might disagree but, ultimately, why do you care whether I or anybody else is listening to the same bands as you are? Music is about listening to what you enjoy, not preaching it. Recommend bands and share opinions by all means, but this sort of hostility has is just tiresome eventually.
