Best band of all time? :lol: :lol: There is no such thing as best band of all time because music is all subjective but to each their own. dannya2, I think it's great that you love Radiohead but you made yourself look like a elitist snob by calling people who don't ejaculate over the new Radiohead stuff "wankers". Sorry if the albums after OK Computer made me want to kill myself. I can't change that and I'm not gonna pretend like everything they do is gold just because some know nothing at Spin magazine told me so.
i've never read spin magazine, they sound like they know what they are talking about though.....
there is such a thing as a best band, in my headspace it is radiohead.....in yours it is something else. to each their own, i never said otherwise.
No, Spin magazine actually has no clue what it is talking about IMHO.
I guess it's just a matter of semantics. I wouldn't tell people The Hip are the "best" band in the world but I would tell them they are my "favourite" band and since they satisfy my musical tastes that makes them great in my opinion. How do you judge greatness? Technical musical ability? If that's the case then Neil Young, The Hip, Pearl Jam, and Bob Dylan would be thought of as average, run of the mill musicians. What about the song "Imagine"? I think it's one of the greatest songs of all time. Musically, it's a very basic, simple song but it just has that certain something that makes it great. When playing instruments, it's not WHAT NOTES YOU PLAY, IT'S HOW YOU PLAY THEM.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I know what you mean and I have friends who love Radiohead to no end. I just don't agree with calling them the greatest thing since sliced bread. :thumb:
