January 4, 200521 yr Freddy Mercury beats Thom Yorke hands down uh huh, thats why i voted Queen, it's just pure damn genius :cool:
January 10, 200521 yr I voted Radiohead. They are by far and away the best on that list. Innovation is the mark of a good band, and even when they went Kid A they still achieved a large amount of critical and public enthusiasm, and deservedly so. So many bands are complacent and happy to churn out the same sounding stuff just becasue they know it can shift records. Like Oasis.
January 10, 200521 yr Actually, read an interesting comment in The Times the other week. It was arguing that bands from the middle classes (Coldplay, Radiohead, Blur) are usually better long term prospects than those from the lower classes (Oasis etc) because the lower classes, after that success, makes them arrogant and they use their new found success to do whatever they like, whereas the middle class bands are affected by the success by becoming more worried about following up that success. They are haunted by the prospect of failure which drives them on to write a better follow up album, whereas the bands from lower classes are not bothered about failure. Not sure whether i agree 100%, but its quite interesting, no?
January 19, 200521 yr Radiohead? It surprised me to see so many votes for them. :huh: Led Zeppelin, by far the best sounding band ever, never released a single, some of the most memorable sounds/tunes ever (Dazed & Confused, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love etc) and a singer with a voice nearly as uniquely brilliant as Freddy Mercury (Queen would come second BTW).
January 27, 200521 yr Oh my God. Oasis have as many votes as Hendrix, Sinatra, and the Beach Boys combined. That's the most depressing damn thing I've seen all day.
February 3, 200521 yr You people should be ashamed that Led Zeppelin are not leading this poll. :cry:
February 8, 200521 yr who is the other brave soul who voted Radiohead.. I want to shake their hand.. I voted Radiohead. Now when do i get my handshake?
February 11, 200521 yr i made the difference :P i choose coldplay...i like their songs and the way they perform and their freaky style aswell :cool:
February 12, 200521 yr probably nirvana are the most important band of the 90's but oasis have influenced all actual english music...so OASIS!!! :cool:
