There are a lot of disgruntled Radiohead fans out there. Although the Oxford combo remains one of the world's most beloved bands, a subset of listeners still longs for the sound they rode to fame in the '90s: a depressive yet high-flying strain of guitar rock that sidestepped the era's prevailing grunge and Britpop trends, instead becoming a popular new template of its own. Ever since 2000's Kid A, when Radiohead pivoted from guitars and Thom Yorke's angelic falsetto played hard to get, certain O.G. devotees have loudly lamented the death of the band they once loved. Even the generously poppy and guitar-centric In Rainbows was not enough for some people.
