I mean I get the innovative point, but does anyone actually enjoy listening to this stuff—without a serious E-buzz I mean?
It's like "interesting" art that is innovative, but you really wouldn't want it hanging on your wall. Whisky Tango Foxtrot.?

Yes, I do. Radiohead has been my favorite band since... well, when did "OK Computer" come out? 1996? They are absolutely amazing. Their worst albums (Amnesiac - I don't really count Pablo Honey) are better than the best stuff put out by other "good" bands. Yorke and Co. seem to understand aural rhythm and melody on a subconscious level; they just tap into threads of harmony and dissonance that parallels some of the great Jazz musicians... and, yet, they're rock. Sure, they're a hell of a lot more experimental and electronic than they were in the 1990s, but they still f*ing rock. AND, as an added bonus, they are one of the greatest live bands on the planet.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot = WTF = What the Fu**
