i don't see how radiohead requires any sort of "deep listening" when their music is anything but deep. maybe on a superficial level it is, because there's an occasional non-traditional texture thrown in there, but it really is just as uninteresting as the majority of everything else on the radio. maybe that's my problem biggest problem with radiohead, that they COULD do much more to push the envelope and bring new listeners to experience new things in sound and music, but they get deterred by the all-ruling piano jam.
