Jeff Buckley #61??????

 

yeah okay.

Parachutes is lovely, but how do leave off AROBTTH? The album just can't get any better!

yeah. it's weird.

Decent list. Hmmm. Yeah, I definitely feel you guys... what about AROBTTH!?!?!

crap parachutes beat oasis by one

except for definitely maybe. DOWNRIGHT CLASS :P

the list was decient exept for some I can beleve that james blunt beat the eagles !!!!! i mean im not such a big fan of them but hotel california is wayy better that back to bedlam

I can't believe James Blunt is even on the list!

^ agreed

 

and where's Kid A ?

dido album was good i liked it ... who else ..

Wow. The U2 love is really all over the place, isn't it? Fuckin' awesome!!!

 

 

Where are Arctic Monkeys?! *complains*

This list is wrong

Well, wrong in the sense that it doesn't live up to this communities standards. But the world isn't Coldplaying, and a radio station needs to appeal to everyone's tastes.

 

Unless you mean they tallied the results wrong.

I can only see U2 at the top..that's enough for me :nice: :laugh4:

Ditto! LMFAO

 

 

 

 

 

 

*achtung baby's better shhhh*

^lol

 

I can't decide between them...that's even better..two I-can't-find-the-words-to-describe albums :rolleyes:

OK Computer > U2 :nice:

 

the list isn't that bad btw

Nik do you want a war? :thinking: don't get me started

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:P

Personally, I think that:

 

No Joshua Tree (which propelled U2 to superstardom, permanently)= No OK Computer. I think (actually, I'm kind of positive about this) that U2 paved the way for Radiohead, kept that portion of the music industry safe for them to arrive and thrive in while all the other 80s bands went to shit and hip hop started taking over.

 

 

 

But then again, I think Ok Computer is a more INTERESTING album overall. Maybe better than Joshua Tree. Hm....

:o

 

i have similar wars in my dad's car, when i want to listen to Radiohead, he always turns on the u2 :veryangry: :P

Ondes Martenot, who WERE you? Did you change your username from something.... I'm sorry, I'm just so confused with everyone changing their usernames

well, yes sure

 

but i don't think that we can compare RH to U2, after the release of OKC. Pablo Honey and The Bends were a bit similar to U2's work though...

:o

I like your father :cool:

 

Danielle it's true I can't recognise many people if they keep changing their names :dozey:

Ondes Martenot' date=' who WERE you? Did you change your username from something.... I'm sorry, I'm just so confused with everyone changing their usernames[/quote']
