Album of the Decade
Monday, January 4th, 2010I just read that Rolling Stone named Radiohead’s Kid A their Best Album of the Decade. I can’t believe I’m saying this since their writing has totally gone downhill in recent years, but I agree with Rolling Stone. The other day someone (their name will be withheld to save them from embarrassment and possible stoning) told me that Britney Spears was the artist of the decade. After withholding the urge to hurl, I quickly told them that if anyone deserved that moniker, it is Radiohead. In addition to dropping some amazing albums in the last 10 years, they’ve also managed to turn the entire industry on its head with their digital release of In Rainbows and paved the way for tons of indie folks to follow suit. For that alone they deserve serious props but their music is also awesome. Great job, guys!
