Number Six: When Thom Yorke Enlightened Us About Respect

Yorke showed the world a whole new side to himself then an interviewer asked him about his stance on respect. He said, “Respect is if you're having a political argument with someone, just before you get to the point where you call them a fascist, you sort of step back and wonder how on earth they've ended up at this point of complete ignorance and stupidity.” I don’t think that’s quite it, but that’s an interesting lesson there. Thom Yorke, everybody.

Number Five: That Thing He Said About Walls

It may not be the most outrageous comment he’s said in an interview, but it certainly does make sense: “all walls are great if the roof doesn’t fall.” Well, yeah. Well put, Thom. He was probably talking about
Apparently, he is pretty mad about the neglect that artists’ paychecks are receiving from these companies that use their music. He told Italian publication La Repubblica that “they make money off the work of many artists who do not derive any benefit." When he was asked to elaborate on what he believed these companies were doing to artists, he said, "It’s like what the Nazis did in the Second World War. In fact, they all did that during the war, the British too: steal the art from other countries. What’s the difference?” We get what he is saying, but he might have taken it a little far with the Nazi Germany analogy. We hope you liked our ranking of Thom York’s most outrageous interview
