I wanna talk about Radiohead. For anyone who doesn't know, they are a five-piece indie band from Oxford, England.
I first started to like them since 1997 when they released 'OK Computer' that year. And actually I bought their album out of scepticism because I used to like to watch this TV programme by this DJ called Wong Chi Chung. And in his programme, he just said that, "It's not the end of the year but I have to announce that 'OK Computer' is the best album of the year." And so I just wanted to try and listen to this album to see if it is that great. And after I bought it, I just think that, "Wow! This is real music!" because it's musically and lyrically great. And Thom Yorke, the frontman of Radiohead, just write songs like a poems and I think he is very honest and he writes great poetic imageries in the songs. And at the time I just discovered that there are actually many possibilities in music. And they actually started my interest in other genres of music, like ambient, electronic, and psychedelic rock and something like that.
They not just open my eyes to music. They also open my eyes to the world. For example, I didn't know there is... there was a profession called 'graphic design' beforehand. And I just think that their album cover is very good. And later I learned that the cover was made by a graphic designer who is also the band's friend. And then at that time I started to take interest in this field and eventually I got a bachelor degree for it.
They have also widened my horizons to the fullest because they are a very socially responsible band. They care about the Third World debts, fair trade, poverty, global warming and the environment. And they make me think about all these world issues I have never thought about before. They encourage me to make a difference. This kind of thing...I just think that not any band in the music scene has this guts to care about.
And also, actually contrary to general belief that Radiohead is depressing, Thom Yorke the frontman is always whining. I actually think that their music is very uplifting and soothing. And also Thom Yorke has heavenly voices. I actually think that their music give me... gives me comfort in the darkest days of my life. And no other band can give me the same powerful consolation than Radiohead. And I think they are the greatest band and always will be.

Hello everyone ,!
Sure, l like indie music, and l like turkey music too.
my favorite band is Quest Pistols, because they have a beutiful inspiration for pop music.
Hi! I heard about Radiohead at TV. There was discussed rivalry between Radiohead and Coldplay. I think most people compare this bands. Honestly, I prefer Coldplay. They are more lyrically than Radiohead and their music are better. Every day i find new things about their music such as the message, the meaning, etc. I can't explain the reason that I like Coldplay more than Radiohead. It's not just because I don't know English very well. I can't do this either in my own language. As the speaker, I can say that when I have a bad day, I listen Coldplay songs. It makes me feel better.
p.s. I want to ask you to correct my possible mistakes in this short text. Thank you!
Acutally I've never listened to the indie music before. And so I have no idea exactly the differences between indie and pop music. But I'd like to talk about Bon Jo Vi music band, I first started to like them when i was about 15 years old. And I think that their song make me comfort and very cheerful whenever I'm not in good mood. And I love the rock music especially romantic rock. And My favourite kind of music is rock music. And I actually feel that their band is able to give me encouragement to do something difficult. And then I think that they are one of the greatest band in the world.
I like Radiohead! I like Indie music and I think is different from pop music because the letters have content and feelings. Is not superficial, the artists express them... The musics inspiration me, and help me with my emotions... My favourite artists sing for me...
Hi, Rock,soul, slow jam, jazz and classical are my favorites. It helps me to relax after work and sometimes, it's like drink a soft drink water after a long walk in the sun...

i think music plays an important role in our life.when we listen to music our minds go on a "trip" full of magic and dreams.i really like listeninig to music and in my opinion music makes you feel free and full of energy
Well, the only Radiohead´s song that I know is Fake Plastic Trees and I think is great. I love this song, deep and sweet at the same time. And, because of this text, I decide to know more about Radiohead.
Music is an important part of my life. Many songs left their mark in my life.
The kind of music isn´t important to me. If the song is beautiful, I don´t mind if it is a hard rock, a progressive one or classical. Maybe because of this, I don´t have a favorite band, but I like many songs from Pink Floyd, U2, Genesis, Queen, Oasis, Phil Collins, brazilian music and so on.
Yes, I like indie music. i think is more uplifting than pop.
My favorite kind of music is reggae.
Music in my life is very important, mostly because I conduct a radio show.
