Thom Yorke says his lyrics are 'nonsense' as Radiohead return to UK

Band kick off carbon-friendly British dates with London gig

Crowd pleasers are songs that the fans want to hear. If you really look at the average rh fan...they don't want 'Karma Police', 'Paranoid Android' or 'Just' and 'The Bends' at every gig...they tend to choose post-millennium material. The band know this, which is why tracks like 'Everything in it's right place' get regular airings. They're not playing to the average punter who turns up for 'Creep'...they're playing for their fans who appreciate what they've done since the two big albums. So although to the casual punter who pretends to like Radiohead because it's 'cool', this set might seem obscure...it really isn't so to the true fan. Oasis play for punters, Radiohead play for fans.

Some of the comments on this page really make me shake my head in disgust.Radiohead aren't a 'hits' band, this should be blatantly obvious from the lack of a 'Greatest Hits' complilation...or at least an official one. Those of you who went to see Radiohead and didn't enjoy it due to the lack of 'hits' really need to stop listening to OK Computer and The Bends and see what they're really all about. They rarely do the 'hits', they always play different songs and you never know what you're going to get. This is what ALL bands should be brave enough to do. Go and see Oasis next time for some 'hits' whilst the rest of us who actually like Radiohead enjoy the gig.
