Radiohead in Time 100
Radiohead are listed in the 2008 edition of TIME 100. The list of the World’s Most Influential People: leaders, thinkers, heroes, artists, scientists and more.
Edgar Bronfman Jr., CEO of Warner Music Group wrote the article, saying that after the groundbreaking release of Radiohead’s latest album, “the traditional record-label business model—the one based on controlling access and distribution— is dead.”
Bronfman continues: “But Radiohead’s innovation also indicated something more important: that new models are very much alive. Does this mean we view the future as a giant tip jar? Not exactly—and I suspect Radiohead doesn’t either, particularly in light of the commercial success In Rainbows had after the “pay any price” offer ended.”
And concluding: “If any band could extend its creativity and spirit to redefine an entire industry, it would be Radiohead. With a single bold experiment, it revealed a broad array of possibilities for experiencing and monetizing music in the future.”

Agree with Mike. “Builders and titans”??? Huh?

It wasn’t even the band who proposed the idea. This has all been so exaggerated and misrepresented.

I’d feel better about the article if it weren’t written by a scumbag Bronfman. So corrupt.

I agree with Mike. I’m pretty tired of people yammering about this BS instead of the music. But I suppose with publications like this, it makes sense that this is the angle of interest.

Just be happy that everyone and their mom is talking about Radiohead. You wouldn’t believe the number of people I know outside the normal fan base - cousins, friends of parents, etc. - that have just started to get into them because of all this.
I hope they make some more US TV appearances while they’re over here.

Actually I’m glad someone is finally acknowledging the pay what you want thing as purely an experiment - and not accusing Radiohead of being arrogant.

I like the phrase “monetizing music”… doesn’t that just say it all?

honestly, i don’t know where they’re getting all this from. the band has said in numerous interviews that this was just some idea proposed by their managers because they were simply bored by the traditional system and they wanted to “leak it” themselves and the other stuff was just an afterthought.

I’m sick of them getting recognition for their in rainbows trick instead of their musical brilliance. c’mon! that’s what makes them so damn influential!
