Who in your opinion is then?

ArtistInTheAmbulance 08-19-2006 08:36 AM

y'know, im not sure.
ive never been able to pick a favourite of my own, so id be screwed in choosing a best current band.
i just feel sure that radiohead wouldnt be it.
i, in no way, see the huge kickup about them. theyre okay, i guess.
every so often. & every few songs...
but whenever someone tries to sway me more towards them, its always the same 7 or so songs that come up.
theyre not as great as everyone makes out, it irritates me is all. puts me off them more than i would be if they werent so huge.

anyway, that was an incessantly pointless waffle.
point is, i dont get it.
& dont go blamin' that on musical ignorance at all, its just taste, i dont see why the constant radiohead orgyfests.

Not I. Close to it though. The Mars Volta are about to put out the best album to come out in a really long time so I put them as number 1.

I recognise your opinion, Radiohead are so highly regarded mostly for their creativity and originality. Pick a band that sounds like Radiohead, I gotcha didn't I? their musical quality is superb, just a fresh sound, so unique.
That's just my opinion on it

The Mars Volta are ok, I'd generally consider Sigur Rós and Radiohead better bands though, just my opinion

Pick a band that sounds like *insert band with unique sound here*. Seriously, just because they're one in a kind doesn't mean they're the shit.

My main problem with radiohead, other then my best friend being a major fangirl (shes worse then a Tool fan >.>) I hate the vocalist, i'd probaly like them better if they had a different singer to be honest.

andy 08-19-2006 12:25 PM

Holy shit, Yorke is my favourite vocalist, I hated him when I first heard ok Computer, after a few listens I bloody loved his voice.

Originality does add to the effect of a good band in my opinion

Haha have you heard the new cd? Its well beyond most bands today.

andy 08-19-2006 01:11 PM

actually I haven't but from many at other forums I have heard that the new Pearl Jam album is better, and IMO anything Radiohead has done besides Pablo Honey and The Bends is better than De Loused, that's just my two cents
