Thoughts?

 Didn't watch it, but don't watch it. I'm pretty conservative politically (no, I am not religious), and I find Colbert and the other dude on that channel irritating and somewhat scary. Was it a performance or was it Q & A?

They performed three songs, pretty cool, although the sound could have been better.

they were awful on SNL

They were just trying to keep up with SNLs sh!tty nature.

Colbert was an amazing performance.

Great performances, agreed.  The interview stuff was fun, too ("well, he IS a doctor"). 

By the way, they did a few more, Codex (mislabeled here as National Anthem, and vice versa), Morning Mr Magpie and Little by Little.   This site has as nice quality videos.

Fell asleep on it.  Honestly, I just don't get the appeal of Radiohead.  Pretty good band, but overall...meh!

I'm actually with you. They were very trendy for a while because all the A-list celebrities were fawning over them for "intellect cred" back in the late 90's, but I actually find them kinda boring too.

They are the best band of all time period.

Pez has spoken.

The best since the Beatles for me (but then I''m 57)  :)  When I first saw them at Bonnaroo (with my now 26 yr old oldest son) back in 2006 it was like seeing the Fab Four in 1965.

I do like the band, they go well with IPA and are a great listen right before I snooze.

I like a little massive attack or zero 7 for that too. Its been a while, if I find ok computer for like a buck I might pick it up and give it another go. I used to have a lot of their albums but got rid of years ago.
