Strange that you would like oasis but not blur

 

It's really one or the other, not both

 

Article written in 1995 on Blur vs Oasis

NME's little ditty

And the best site for Blur vs Oasis info:

BBC's timeline of Blur vs Oasis

blur baby, blur :pimp2:

but ALMOST everybody on the board that loves radiohead, likes them more than coldplay.

Like, if asked: If one band had to go away forever and never comeback, would it be coldplay or radiohead, they would vote off coldplay.

 

plus I never said I didn't like radiohead, geez, just cause I don't love them doesn't mean I don't like them.

 

there are like

good bands: coldplay, oasis, the beatles

Okay bands: radiohead, verve, rolling stones, verve

not that good bands: interpol, muse, pulp,

bad bands: ashlee simpson, blur, robbie williams

 

1.Since when have Ashlee Simpson and Robbie Williams been "bands"??

2. Are there TWO bands called VERVE?

3. You can't categorise Ashlee Simpson and Robbie Williams together.

4. I don't think it's fair to call Blur "bad". I'm not a fan of them, but that's different!

Amen. :)

 

 

y2k1996 Good bands= Oasis while Okay bands= radiohead??? :huh:

 

You gotta be kidding... What do you measure 'good' by? Looking at your list, the quality of the music is not on the top of your list of criteria for good music... I hazard a guess that you find concept music pretentious? :D

 

Also, of course if you go to a Radiohead site and ask 'Radiohead or Coldplay', you're gonna get Coldplay struck off everytime... The fans who stick around there have quite a reputation for being 'exclusive' in their musical tastes. That's one reason why some Radiohead fans hang out over here- Even though we may think Radiohead are a better band, the people here are more open-minded about what constitutes good music, though the crowd may sometimes be a bit less serious/knowledgeable about music :P

 

As for Radiohead being not that good... You crazy??? :o They're not Gods and may not be great even, but they definitely fall into the 'good' category. They may not be that popular, but they're definitely good.

 

Oh, and you do not have to like / enjoy a band that's good :) I recognised the genius that is Radiohead long before I could stand it to sit down and listen to their music and enjoy it.

Muse ... not that good now you are having a laugh :stunned:

 

i understand what you mean about Radiohead as it took me a while to get into them but i am liking them a lot more lately, however i have to say that Amnesiac is not a very good album, its their worst, with only a couple of songs being good .... i don't love Radiohead as there are quite a few songs i don't like as with Coldplay and Muse (bands i do love) i like 99% of them :D

 

so i know what you mean but just listen to Radiohead more and you'll start liking them more

 

 

not that good bands: interpol, muse,

 

:o Wow. I love Interpol and Muse.

 

And yes, I would pick Radiohead over Coldplay.

radiohead pwn :/

radiohead pwn :/

 

 

What do you mean? :embarrased:

pwn = 1337 for own (1337 = leet = language used by gamers)

 

and I didn't say that if you go to a radiohead site and say radiohead or coldplay that they'll say radiohead (of course they will)

i'm saying here at a coldplay site, that people still prefer radiohead

Loves Radiohead and Coldplay equally.

Coldplay equals=North pole

Radiohead=South pole

Songs like Pyramid Sond, Knives out,(Hell the whole Okay Computer), Life in a Glass house Fncking Genius. I have never in my life heard a rock band blend what I call hardcore jazz and rock so beautifully. If you have Sh!t tell me. If that ain't Brilliant I don't know what is.

I would have to agree with the thread author. Far from disliking Radiohead, i do think they are overrated. I own a couple of their albums and there are some gems in there, but overall i don't really see the fascination.

Radiohead are good (especially The Bends & OK Computer) but not in the same league as bands like Coldplay, Oasis and The Verve. And for weirdness/innovation they've got nothing on people like Mercury Rev, Spiritualized and "A Storm In Heaven" by The Verve!!!

:| can't see Ur point. Interpol is not that good? Why? Their TOTBL is the best debut since Radiohead' 'the bends' (don't saying about pablo honey). Or how could you compare Blur to a.simpson? And btw.: it's The Verve (or we're thinking about 2 different groups)

To be honest, I think radiohead is an aquired taste.

^ I think so too. It's not something anybody can easily listen to.

I didn't think I needed a disclaimer but okay, here goes:

 

The comments herein are the opinions and views of the author and does not and should not represent the definitive history of music. They do not have to be fully accurate nor do they have to have correct grammar....that is all

^yeah that's true you're opinion don't count for anything anyway :P :P :P

there´s no way Blur can be a bad band, as the there´s no way Radiohead can be an "ok.band"... even so, I think Radiohead are just a little bit overated... they have some good songs...

They don't do anything for me......................

 

I agree

i love both coldplay and radiohead equally. i can understand why people don't think they're good, but i think they're brilliant. like someone else said, its an acquired taste.

Strange enough, I thought most people liked Radiohead, they are just one of those bands, like the Beatles, everyone likes the Beatles. ;)

^I hope you're kidding about comparing Radiohead to The Beatles!! :P

I wasnt implying that Radiohead or the Beatles are in any way the same music.. I am just saying that they are respected by music fans. People may not 'get' the music, but they recognize that these bands were artists in their own right and there is something special about them.
