Maybe I mis-worded my post a bit; deep listening might not be the best way to put it... I would say however that Radiohead have become more than just a rock band. They have become somewhat more important than that, and that requires their music to be held up to a different light than most other bands. I can't really explain much, because I'm in school right now, and doing my work while typing at the same time... But I hope that makes some modicum of sense...
