Maybe you should look up the word anthem.

Yeah i'd hardly consider any of those songs ballads or religious.

"with rock instrumentation"

So a ballad is a song sung in verse only, right? So an anthem is a song sung in verse only with rock instrumentation, right?

Is all this arguing with ProggyMan starting to effect your own brain or something?

If that really is the criteria for a rock anthem then you've just made about 60% of them redundant.

Okay, if you're going to cite a source why not keep using the same source? I'm going to take a wild stab at thefreedictionary probably saying something along the lines of a ballad is a poem written meant to be sung or a popular romance song (which it is). Radiohead is neither. It probably does say that, my dictionary does so naturally you wouldn't use it because it contradicts your statements and you don't want that, you want to be "right not accurate".

So what's your definition of a ballad?

well their new album is awesome and original from their other releases, I dig it.

Yeah **** I don't know what I was thinking. Back to the point, Radiohead were never anything like U2 and they were never anthemic rock.
