Radiohead - Idioteque (live on SNL)
As amazing as this performance is, it’s even better when you remember why it was significant. They played in October of 2000, Kid A had just came out to critical acclaim/bewilderment and the rest America still knew Radiohead as either the makers of “Creep” or “Karma Police.” The number one hit in America was Santana’s “Smooth.”
Thom’s dancing like a crazy asshole because he knows he’s participating in a giant musical sucker punch.
