The Lenny Kravitz thing - and maybe this is finding blandness even more awful than being out and out terrible - is that I don't know what the fuck he is. Like, who listens to that, when you could listen to <long list of better takes on same thing>? I could understand it if the music were niche enough that there wasn't so much of it out there, but straight-up, radio-friendly guitar rock...how much of it do you need to exhaust before Lenny Kravitz hits? He's the scat incest porn of music.

May I submit...Bowling For Soup. Dumb band name, irritating songs.

Ohh!! They are definitely in the running. They did that godawful song "1985" and it's bad in a very unamusing way. Yeeeeech!

I don't get it. Is there something Radiohead have said in interviews or the like that makes you draw this conclusion?

Hahaha, holy shit, the intro is fantastic. In combination with the voiceover at the beginning, it's like a SNL sketch taking the piss out of Radiohead. I only lasted 40 seconds, but really this is fantastic. Someone should loop the first 45 seconds for a ten hour nyan-cat style meme. The comments would be a good device anthropologically if nothing else. Title it "Radiohead are genius!" and sit back.
