Yeah they probably will, all the 15-post spammers seem to vote for them anyway.

...and not forgetting The Cars win 11-4.

Next battle, courtesy of Jack Pat:

Radiohead - Kid A (2000)

VS

Super Furry Animals - Radiator (1997)

This should be rather interesting!

Don't forget to give a reason for your vote and if you wish to nominate the next battle please feel free to PM me.

Radiohead-- Kid A
definitely my favorite album by them and probably the better out of all of theirs. This album is haunting and pulsating emotional.

Kid A: 1
Radiator: 1

It's a tough choice, but I'm going to have to go with Radiator on this one. It pretty much did what Kid A did except three years earlier and, in my opinion, better (but only a bit). Then again, I haven't really spent much time listening to Radiohead, so I may not be the best person to pass this judgment. Eh...

A bit unlike me to endorse a britpop album (that is... if it's considered one).

Gotta go with Kid A. I've just been listening to it longer, and it means a lot more to me. Plus, it was one of the gutsiest moves in recent rock memory.

Radiohead - 2
Super Furry Animals - 1

Kid A was just Radiohead ripping off a bunch of Warp Records artists.

Radiator was much more original & listenable & fun.

2 - 2

Kid A-2
Radiator-3

Radiator may well be the greatest record ever made.I certainly can't think of one I enjoy listening to more.

Rapture was a great song as was T-Birds from the same album.

As for the album Autoamerican, and the style of music that they implicated at that time. It seems very subjective in my opinion to suggest that it led to their downfall as a band. My perception is, it led to the pinnacle of their career, as the single "Rapture" being one of the first rap songs to hit #1 on the charts. The hypothesis that The Talking Heads could had done it better than Blondie at that time, just seems to be a hypothetical opinion to me, and nothing more.

Blondie lasted just one more album after Autoamerican and that was the poor Hunter album. The Talking Heads hypothesis is fairly valid, because here was a group of a similiar style of music and location, that had incorporated music outside of their normal influences and had done it very well. Blondie on the other hand were like the Ramones, in the respect that both tried to change their style of music but did not have the ability to pull it off.

Radiator is more original than Kid A but I think Kid A the better album.

Radiohead 3
Super Furry Animals 3

I'll take your word as far as the Ramones go, I don't know anything about them and I have yet to have the chance to listen to their music. I know you Soldier, I'll take your word for it bro! Later Gator.
