I think the reason they dont like this song is because they are now "pop" i.e. popular. This song is against the press not pop. and it makes it very clear. But they would be very hypercritical to play it live
mmh they're certainly not a "pop" group, their music is softer, something of a rock/pop sure, but they're still an indie band, not the kind of things you'll hear on the radio every day, so i don't see why it would be hypocritical for them to play it live... besides i believe they hate most of their Pablo Honey and some of their The Bends songs too, their style has changed so much since...
yeah they seem so punk in this era of theirs in their attitude its very different from what they do now its very odd as much as they may have grownup its just very different from what they are now
the word "pop" is so inaccurate anyway. rock, punk, whatever, all of those *are* popular music. although since the grunge movement it refers more and more specifically to commercialized popular music. but that's for marketing purpose more than anything.
They may hate the song, but it's probably just from embarrassment because they know how much better they've become, and how childish it makes them look. It's still Radiohead, and it still kicks ass.

How can you think kid A is better than the older stuff they did.Pablo Honey - OK computer was awesome but Kid A - HTTT is not that good. I get headicks everytime i hear Optimistic and Idioteque.
so do i but i also think it sounds like blur doing terrorvision or the reverse? it is lyrically below them now and sonically ... is this when radiohead invented the libertines?
I LOVE the OLD radiohead, there music is way too boring and opinonated now. You've gotta love jonny's hair back then too, they way it does that bob thing.( its just so Lowes Lane á la the new adventures of superman)
It IS a good song. Isn't "vile" or anything. I don't think Radiohead has any terrible songs..but you can most certainly see, how over time, they have changed. Which is good, they always push themselves.
Why pop still alive?...

Go out and get the dvd "Meeting People is Easy" In that dvd it kinda explains how much RH hated EMI and the stuff they did in the very begining.
