I didn't vote. Therefore the poll is silly :evil:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I can't help but wonder why these new Radiohead things aren't going into the Radiohead Appreciation Thread. :P

I think its a joke that they won and U2 came in second. The closest Beatles album was 7th. Thats just silly.

Not really. I like Radiohead more than U2 or the Beatles. I think their music is better, and from what I've seen I think they're more talented. And apparently so do a lot of other people. :P

What's silly is Madonna and Michael Jackson being in the top ten, and Jeff Buckley being only 61st.

tru dat.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

You my friend are seriously mistaken.

No other band I repeat no other band can even touch Radiohead. If you put in "Ok Computer" listen to it beginning to end and then put in "The Bends" and listen to it beginning to end" you'll find two completely different yet equally amazing albums. Then throw in "Kid A" and you wont know what just hit you.

But I can assure you anyone that actually owns a copy of "Ok Computer" will never call Radiohead over-rated.

I once thought radiohead was over-rated, I was once that nieve.

I think radiohead is great, and having just recently bought OK computer in the last few months I've realized they are indeed a good band. I would not say that no one touches them though. To me The Beatles rank higher than them simply because Lennon and Macca are the two greatest song writers of all time. Not too mention they were doing things then that bands today would never even think of. They weren't afraid to push the envelope, and I think that a couple of their albums rank equal or higher than OK computer does.

I'm SO freaking tired of people saying things like "if you don't like ____ band, you're naive" or "you don't know anything about music" or whatever. Not everyone likes the same music. I for one find (newer) Radiohead boring. And, no, that doesn't mean I'm naive (or ignorant, which you implied by the OK Computer comment... I've heard OK Computer all the way through several times). I do own The Bends, and I enjoy it (as well as Creep and some of the singles from OK Computer). But anything past that (and possibly before it cos I've never heard all of Pablo Honey), and they've lost me.

And, no, I'm not saying Radiohead's bad. But in my opinion, they ARE over-rated. To others, they might not be. That doesn't make either of us wrong.
