I bet if Radiohead recorded on the cheap, they would sound virtually identical.
Really, didn't we kill that horse yet?

Let's just asume that most of us realize this simple fact about music... of course it starts with the songs, and a song determins the largest part of the sound. The OP asked a question about Radiohead production and the gear used here on gearslutz.

If a band or a producer chooses to use a vintage API and MTA console it's done for an artistic reason and sonic impact. Call me geeky but as an engineer I find that interesting to read about.
