I love radiohead.

i also love portishead.

can anyone here recommend other bands in the same musical vein?

i like sigur ros, now, too. i have been told however there is no "head" in their name.

I was going to say Motorhead...but, no...slightly different music (so i've heard!).

There's the Dallas band Bedhead (go here for review of latest: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/b/bedhead/transaction-de-novo.shtml)

Of course, there's Spearhead, but they're reggae, so not like Radiohead (unless Radiohead's "head"ed in that direction on the next album).

Or there's the Christian-emo band Blenderhead (let's not even go there).

And there's Blonde Redhead, but no, not in the vein of Radiohead or Portishead.

There's the Montreal-based Drumhead: described as "minimalist rhythm funk."

Plus there's godheadSilo, but i think they're like rap-metal.

Also, the Boxhead Ensemble...avant-garde baroqueness.

Finally, there's Headrillaz, whose debut album was produced by Howie B. Not very good stuff, i don't think.

Check them all out at my fav music web-site: pitchforkmedia.com

I know an excellent band from the Phillipines called Eraserheads. They make Beatleish/Fountains of Wayne sounding music. Catchy and fun and feelgood. One of the more polished English-singing bands in Southeast Asia.

It's Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Bands that are like Radiohead? Perhaps Muse. Mercury Rev. Aphex Twin is sorta Kid A-ish. Sparklehorse and Smashing Pumpkins are a bit of a stretch but they are great bands as well...

Clinic, Doves, and Elbow are sort of Radioheadish.

And Massive Attack is sort of Portisheadish.
Oh, and Air is kind of Radioheadish.

Did we forget the Lemonheads?? Duh, I remember them from 94-95 but can't remember any of their songs
 
There's a band called "Saturnhead", I'm not sure what their like. I saw their CD today while I was in the musicstore.

The Church

Echo and the Bunnymen

Electrafixion

Simple Minds

None of these sound just like Radiohead, but they are in the same vein, especially Electrafixion. I always thought that Radiohead sounded like a blend of U2/Echo and the Bunnymen/Pink Floyd.
