Radiohead - Karma Police

Before I heard this song, I knew Radiohead for that song Creep and for making a video where people lie down for no good reason. Then I heard this song, and I had to know who was singing it. Lo and behold, it was Radiohead. And a minor love affair with Radiohead continued, until I realized the band was worshipped to the point where they could fart into a microphone and the fans would love it.
I was never into them that much, and did not want to be so into them that my judgement would be clouded. That being said, I think they make fantastic music, but Karma Police is where it all began.
Much like remembering firsts with a girlfriend, I distinctly remember the first time I heard Karma Police. I was in a dorm room and someone had his mp3 collection on shuffle. The opening chords hit, and the voice… oh, the voice. I don’t remember that much after it, but if I ran out and bought the album immediately after, it would not surprise me.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time. I had just had an argument with my parents, and living at home for the summer between freshman and sophomore years of college, I didn’t have anywhere to go but out. I drove to Tower in La Jolla, bought the CD, and drove to Chula Vista. The first five songs on OK Computer were pretty good (I still favor “Let Down” as the bridge between The Bends and Radiohead’s current fascinations), but when track 6 started up, I perked up, and the voice started…
KAAAAAA MAAAAAAAAAAA PAAAAAAAAAAA LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECE…….
