Fun Stuff > BAND

most overrated bands.

Calm down dude.

Not intended as a lecture. You just have to realise that for some people bands like Radiohead are an awakening to what music can be.

For me Radiohead and the Smashing Pumpkins made me realise that music was more than just what was playing on the radio.

I think Radiohead did this for a lot of people and I think that if a band can do that thats really cool.

Most of us here enjoy the obscurity of our favourite bands but without some bands making it to the mainstream would any of us have ventured out to find them?

Maybe talking heads was that band for you. I just have this urge to defend Radiohead, don't take it personally.

Dude, Skyclad were there trying to change the whole goddamn world.

But you fuckers just wouldn't listen.

And that's why the best band in the world only played one UK show that I couldn't get to this year, even though they're from the UK.

Oh why wouldn't you listen?

shrimp:
I hate radiohead because I hate the whiney vocals the crappy lyrics and the feeling of utter homicidal rage listening to a track of theirs gives birth to within my heart.

They havent influenced anyone I personally like, and before radiohead there were PLENTY of good bands. Perhaps you wouldnt like them... but then again you like that which I dislike in radiohead.

(Yes- I KNOW Ben Weasel has a crappy nasal voice...no need to tell me about that)

Merkava:

--- Quote from: Kai ---Excuse me? I do believe a very good portion of my music happens to be made up of really long tracks, some up to a good hour or so. (woo for prog rock/metal and jam bands!) The problem I have with Radiohead? They're boring. Simple as that. The whiny nasal vocals, the pretty below average guitar (or lack thereof, in the case of Kid A/Amnesiac) and overall, compared to what I listen to, really boring.



Course, then again, I liked this band back when they were called the TALKING HEADS.

That joke only works when the band that they used to be called actually sounds like the band you are dissing.

Compared with what you listen to, I'd find my monotone Spanish teacher more interesting. Guess that's not a good point to make, then.

Besides, Johnny Greenwood is a pretty darn good guitarist. Just because he doesn't dick around on his guitar for hours doesn't mean---wait. Deja vu.

Oh right, that opinion thing getting in the way of calling something boring like it's a fact.

Oh well.

Though still, Muse > Radiohead.

KharBevNor:
Uh yeah, Mr Greenwood can certainly jangle that guitar good. Yeah. He knows that any sort of complex bridge, solo or breakdown, unusual or sudden variance in tempo, interesting use of pedals, whammy bar or distortion, adoption of classical or hybrid styles of picking or bending, non-standard tunings etc. would basically just be masturbation with no musical worth whatsoever.

Also, it might not sell quite so many Radiohead albums.
