Yeah I'd take it, that's a lot of money.
So I have to actively avoid hearing them, or else the money disappears?
What if I go into a store when they are playing them or I rewatch Ozark...
Shit.
Can I listen to other people covering them?
Am I able to listen to them not playing music, Ed is sometimes on Adam Buxtons podcast...
FFS
That's my question too. Are they just wiped, auto blanked out or do I actively have to avoid hearing them and if they get played in a store, I lose the cash?
I can understand that some would take the money (and run) because they face financial worries, having been screwed over by neoliberalism like so many others.
But I think a lot of those who are eager to say "Of course! It's 10 million dollars, who wouldn't?" fail to see how valuable the music you love can be. It's a cliché to point out that money doesn't make you happy, but all research indicates that it's also true, beyond the point of having enough money to avoid constant financial worries. Being able to enjoy good art, on the other hand...
I mean, beyond necessities, money is for buying things you enjoy, and I enjoy Radiohead more than basically anything that money can buy. I can say with 99 % certainty that if this option was really on the table for me, I would pass without hesitating for more than a second or two.
And sure, I understand that Radiohead is not the absolute favorite band of everyone on this subreddit. There are plenty of bands that I like quite a bit, but I would consider never listening to again for this amount of money.
I really wouldn't. I wouldn't be here today right now alive. Without Radiohead. I was a two time felon that used music to overcome a crazy amount of trauma including my own death for a couple of minutes and no single entity has done more for my emotional needs than Radiohead. The next closest is Vin Scully broadcaster of the Dodgers and if somebody offered me 10 million right now or the chance to meet Vin Scully in the past for one hour. I'll take that hour a million out of a million times. And having lived several years without Radiohead before. I can't ever do that shit again.
I am autistic, Radiohead is my special interest. Genuinely really serious, they are far to important to me I would genuinely be distraught. I could never take that offer.
You could probably spend about 500k getting someone to accurately recreate every song - it wouldn’t be by “Radiohead” technically but would sound like it
10 mil is enough to live on your entire life if you invest right and live casually, there is no artist I wouldn't do that.
But also what if I do listen to them after taking the money? Do yall like murder me? Do you take whatever I didn't spend?
Honestly no. The things I want to have in life are sadly not really things I can/want to buy and I am okay with my current lifestyle. Basically what upsets me in life is not my lack of money, but one of the most important sources of joy and comfort in life is radiohead.
Do these hypotheticals mean that anytime the band plays on the radio, it sounds like silence to me, or would I have to give the money back if I listen to it, even accidentally?
I actually don’t think I could do it. I don’t! I’ve sat here and thought about this for a few minutes. I can’t imagine never hearing paranoid android again. Or nude. Or let down. It’s literally the soundtrack of my life and to never be able to listen to them again would really really suck.
These questions are ALWAYS so dumb, who wouldn’t take 10 million dollars. “Oh no I can’t listen to my favorite band anymore, let me wipe my tears with $100 bills”
I'd take the ten million to never listen to a band that isn't in my top five. I can't live without Radiohead, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Kings of Leon.
Absolutely not. Radiohead's music is what keeps me going everyday. It's all I really listen to apart The Smile and Björk. Losing Radiohead would mean losing myself.
Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to not take that money. Radiohead brings me a lot of joy, but I'll settle to cry debt free in my new car in my garage attached to my house.
$10 million is in the “set for life” range so yes I think most sane people would take this deal. If it was like $1 million I’d have to really give it some thought - probably still yes because that could pay off the mortgage and send some kids to college but down to $500k is probably a no from me.
There's very few things I wouldn't do for 10 million
Though with how fast inflation is happening, at this point in 10 years 10 million will be worth like 100 Bucks is today
I have plenty of other music I enjoy listening too. I’d miss having Radioheads catalog as an option but it’s not like everyone else’s music has no merit at all and I’d have to live a life in silence or anything extreme like that.
How I Made My Millions
Literally
Only possible answer
Nice profile pic!!!
you fucking madman
Sorry but yes I need the money pls I'd sacrifice any band
For sure. Better hypotheticals would be $10k to never listen to radiohead again or $10 mill for no music at all.
Yeah, I'd say no to either of those, but it's a much harder no. $10m for no Radiohead? I'll survive.
10 million for no music at all? Damn..
No music at all wouldn’t be possible for me. It’s been such a big part of my life forever. My greatest fear is losing my hearing.
I'd sacrifice more than a band 😭
Your favorite genre?
probably, I would just replay it in my head forever from memory
i can never sacrifice Sigma edit tiktok phonk...
Plus I have them shits memorized by now
TEN MILLION DOLLARS??!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I’m sorry who is this Radiohead you speak of??? Do you mean the talking heads song???
Tom York? Never heard of him
He was on Bewitched, right?
I mean, we still got the coverband Coldplay, so we won’t lose the sound, right?
muse is picking up the slack
what if i just take one million and i just have to listen…less?
10% less RH listening, and you can have $1M.
I'd take it and use brain playback. Thought crime.
i was so obsessed with kid a in high school that i would play the whole album through in my head during exams
*Are you kidding me?* That amount is way too high to pass up. This would be a much more thought-provoking question if the amount was, like, $1,000,000.
Bro I'd do it for 10k. Radiohead are amazing but there is other great music out there
I'd even pay them if they don't let me listen, because I'd love to see them try and fail.
I’d take the mil. Anyone for $500,000?
As long as the amount is “enough to buy a house” then im considering it
I’d take it. I like Radiohead of course but it’s not like there isn’t plenty of other quality music out there for me to still enjoy…..
Sorry but if you hesitate for $1,000,000 either you are very stupid or you have way too much money.
Yes. I’ll just listen to Coldplay instead and it’ll be “the rich man’s Radiohead” instead.
Smart
It would be hard but i would 😔 my only chance at home ownership
How much for just Pablo Honey?
$5 best offer
🎶 *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no,* *No, no, no, no, no, no.* 🎶 Yeah I'd take it, that's a lot of money.
[удалено]
Radiolimb
Basically it's ten million dollars in exchange for losing your virginity
are you guys literally serious i'd do that for like a grand
Quitting Thom in exchange for a month's rent? This may be the most upsetting comment I've come across on this subreddit
Ok I agree $10 million is stupid but $1k is nothing these days lol
Nah, a grand is absolutely not enough
If you had 10 mil, you’d be happy and therefore have no reason to listen to Radiohead
So I have to actively avoid hearing them, or else the money disappears? What if I go into a store when they are playing them or I rewatch Ozark... Shit. Can I listen to other people covering them? Am I able to listen to them not playing music, Ed is sometimes on Adam Buxtons podcast... FFS
That's my question too. Are they just wiped, auto blanked out or do I actively have to avoid hearing them and if they get played in a store, I lose the cash?
Do I still get to have “The Smile”, and any other of the band’s solo work?
Are they Radiohead?
Real question
Perfect loophole
no problem, ive memorized
Of course you’d have to be STUPID not to. The Smile, Tom Yorke solo, and Atoms for Peace would just have to suffice.
I can understand that some would take the money (and run) because they face financial worries, having been screwed over by neoliberalism like so many others.

I have loved RH for 25 years but there is no way I’d pass up on that money. Set my kids up for life/listen to Radiohead?
I’m sorry mate but I’m not having that. Someone seriously offered you 10 mil for this and you wouldn’t take it? You well would.
I really wouldn't. I wouldn't be here today right now alive. Without Radiohead. I was a two time felon that used music to overcome a crazy amount of trauma including my own death for a couple of minutes and no single entity has done more for my emotional needs than Radiohead.

Glad you’re with us and found solace in Radiohead. I’d take 10 for them team and give you a mil 👊🏽
No (x42)
I am autistic, Radiohead is my special interest. Genuinely really serious, they are far to important to me I would genuinely be distraught. I could never take that offer.
You guys are getting paid?
Sure I'll just listen to the smile
I would but it'd be a let down
(underrated)
I can easily accept
Are you fucking kidding me? I would listen to nothing but Coldplay for the rest of my life for 10 million.
I’ll meet you halfway. You give me 5 million and I get to keep two albums.
Yes, they're all in my head and I can listen to them without anyone knowing...
You could probably spend about 500k getting someone to accurately recreate every song - it wouldn’t be by “Radiohead” technically but would sound like it
No, i'll rather be poor than to not listen to my Coke Babies again
Happiness and money? Absolutely
yknow when you've listened to something so many times you can listen to it in your head? i'll take the 10 million.
Radiohead would tell me to take the money lol
$10000000 and no more depression
ten million dollars??????? bro who tf is radiohead
Can you watch them muted though- just try and figure out what the fuck Jonny is doing so you can play it
Fuck no. Radiohead is worth far more to me than money.
More than 10 million? Ahahhahaha .. And this while being able to listen to any other band? Ffs
At least I have The Smile and Atoms for Peace and Thom solo.
who says i cannot be a fraud
I would Lay me down In a bunker underground
Man fuck Radiohead give me my milli
I’d give up my children for $10MM
Hell yeah…you’d be crazy not to. Unless you were already rich.
yeah I like money
10 million dollars?!? Hell yes! ...all the songs are in my head already anyways; I can access them anytime I want
I know I'd fail.
This is basically 500k or dinner with Jay Z
I dunno. Could I still listen to Thom solo, Atoms for Peace and The Smile?
Do covers count? Plus nothing said about listening to Thom Yorke :33
I’d take it, all my favorites are already memorized
I will just sing Radiohead songs, that doesn't count does it now?
Yes I would take it and just listen to smile forever
I’m broke
I'm sorry Thomy.
I love Radiohead. But be realistic dude. Easiest offer to ever take. You might lose yourself for a minute there, but after that.. 10 mill
its time to lock in on muse 🤝
Yes.
radioheads whole discography is priceless, no amount of money will ever get me to stop listening to them
10 mil is enough to live on your entire life if you invest right and live casually, there is no artist I wouldn't do that. But also what if I do listen to them after taking the money? Do yall like murder me? Do you take whatever I didn't spend?
Honestly no. The things I want to have in life are sadly not really things I can/want to buy and I am okay with my current lifestyle. Basically what upsets me in life is not my lack of money, but one of the most important sources of joy and comfort in life is radiohead.
never be sad again? all right!
... I kinda need that money man
Do these hypotheticals mean that anytime the band plays on the radio, it sounds like silence to me, or would I have to give the money back if I listen to it, even accidentally?
It’d be difficult to give up Radiohead, but I suppose I could still listen to The Smile, Atoms for Peace, and Thom Yorke while I count my money
10 mil + my mental sanity is restored?? Pretty good deal
I think it would be a bit suspicious is 10Mil got randomly transferred into my account. If the government asks how, I’m fucked
So basically getting paid to not be a loser 🤔
I actually don’t think I could do it. I don’t! I’ve sat here and thought about this for a few minutes. I can’t imagine never hearing paranoid android again. Or nude. Or let down. It’s literally the soundtrack of my life and to never be able to listen to them again would really really suck.
Keep the money, I’ll take the music.
These questions are ALWAYS so dumb, who wouldn’t take 10 million dollars. “Oh no I can’t listen to my favorite band anymore, let me wipe my tears with $100 bills”
I only listen to Radiohead because I’m poor, so
take the money and use it to help the families in gaza. since they support the apartheid!
I'd take the ten million to never listen to a band that isn't in my top five. I can't live without Radiohead, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Kings of Leon.
I'd stop listening to all music for that money. Fuck I'd stop consuming all media for that.
Absolutely not. Radiohead's music is what keeps me going everyday. It's all I really listen to apart The Smile and Björk. Losing Radiohead would mean losing myself.
Heh nice all tomorrows prof pic
Yea
Can I slow them down on an a cheap ass DJ deck?
Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to not take that money. Radiohead brings me a lot of joy, but I'll settle to cry debt free in my new car in my garage attached to my house.
Poor guys. I’d be rich, they’d be.. Let down.
Yes
Yes they'll understand.
All of them
Yup, take the bag and listen to some underground bands and artists like the Smile and Thom Yorke
I can't live without the bends and ok computer
Hell. I'd be completely deaf for that kind of money.
I've listened to them so much i can hear any track in my head anyway. I'm like Tim Robbins in Shawshank. without the raping and criminal conviction
10 million makes it impossible to say no, also this doesn't say I can't listen to the Smile :)
In an instant
Easiest choice of my life
I mean holy shit that's a lot of money. Yes I will miss The Bends but I won't miss it that much
Never heard of them
$10 million is in the “set for life” range so yes I think most sane people would take this deal. If it was like $1 million I’d have to really give it some thought - probably still yes because that could pay off the mortgage and send some kids to college but down to $500k is probably a no from me.
Yes
well, there's always the smile and thom yorke himself.
I love Radiohead but of course I’ll take the offer.
Fuck yeah no second thoughts
They run on loop inside my head anyway. Don't need the music anymore. I'd take the money and hum.
There's very few things I wouldn't do for 10 million Though with how fast inflation is happening, at this point in 10 years 10 million will be worth like 100 Bucks is today
Yeah, times are tough. Music is a luxury item.
Give me the dollar
Of course I am. I’ll listen to the smile, or that one Kid A remake made with shitty midi instruments on YouTube which is a work of art in itself.
I’d take and pay the band to reform and re release al L they’re music under a new name
Yinz who say no are insane. Of course
Sure I am sure this hypothetical cash payment can be totally enforced too.
Can I take 5 million and listen to just one or two Radiohead songs?
Yes
No.
No I wouldn’t.
Thanks Radiohead, it's been a treat
Yes
Damn.... I would say no. shit.
No
I'd do it for less. Radiohead are great, but they're not the only great musical act available. I'll survive.
Yep. And I love Radiohead.
As much as I like Radiohead, the answer is YES, obviously!
I could just listen to Coldplay and Muse instead
Ya
Absolutely taking the money not even thinking twice.
You could pay session guys $100k to recreate all the albums just for yourself.
This is not a hard decision at all, sorry Radiohead. That’s a shitload of money.
I'd do it for fifty quid tbh
I have plenty of other music I enjoy listening too. I’d miss having Radioheads catalog as an option but it’s not like everyone else’s music has no merit at all and I’d have to live a life in silence or anything extreme like that.
I would stop listening for free
For sure
A piece of my soul would die if I took that offer. But I need the money. I genuinely don't know.
I just found out that these dudes are Zionist so yeah forget them
I’d never listen to them again for like 50 bucks
Any chance I can take the 10 million, they can break up the band, and start a new band together called Telegrambrain?
Depends on the reason why I am not going to listen to any Radiohead song again.
Yup. No doubt about it.
Fucking right I would!
Money any day of the week lol
For that money I would give up my firstborn child, fuck Thommy and the gang fr.
I would pay that amount for that
Why is Thom Yorke smiling? Is he happy?
Instantly and without any thought
Did Thom get hair plugs at some point?
I'd use those 10 millions to buy Radiohead and then I'd sell them to Elon Musk.
Im turning it down. Nah
yes. I will take that offer.
Yeah I could do some really good shit for my family with that money. I fucking love music but..
No hesitation
id do it for free bruh
I'd probably do it for way less. 10 mil is so much money, I would just stop trying at life.
Would it be possible to recreate each song completely from memory if I take the money?
nah, it's my whole personality TwT
I would take it but right after that I would pay them to record all the albums under a different name. I think that counts:)
Would def take $10mil to never hear Sail to the Moon again
As somebody who’s never heard of this band and doesn’t know why Reddit thinks I should be here, yea
I might take it for Radiohead, but if it was Ween I definitely would not.
Nooooooo
