The Battle of the Bands, Round 1, Battle 5

[ps139]

Who is better?

RADIOHEAD


V.



GREEN DAY



????

 

[nicodemus]

Green Day's going to get stomped like a NARC at a biker rally.

 

[nadroj1985]

I do like Green Day quite a bit, but this one's not a tough decision. Radiohead is easily my pick for best band of the 90's, and is quite possibly my favorite band of all time. OK Computer is a masterpiece; the defining musical achievement of the last 20 years. No contest here.

 

[ps139]

I dont know much Radiohead, but I've seen 2 videos and loved them. (I did not really pay attention to the music unfortunately).
And I hate Green Day with a passion! Billy Joe's whining is worse than someone scratching their nails across a chalkboard (which actually doesnt bother me that much....)

 

[PastorCappy]

Ashamed to say that I do not know much about Radiohead either. However, I know enough to know that based upon reputation alone they should walk away from Green Day.

 

[blackwasp]

I'm voting for Green Day...j/k! Haha, Radiohead, no contest. This battle might end uglier than Pink Floyd v. Korn.

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Duh this is an easy one.... Radiohead

 

[eutychus]

Green Day's going to get stomped like a NARC at a biker rally.

Radiohead, without much internal debate.

Oh my! I just realized that DMB will have to face Radiohead. Hahaha...let the carnage ensue.

I'm definitely not looking forward to Phish v. Pink Floyd I've got a bad feeling about that one.

 

[nicodemus]

I'm definitely not looking forward to Phish v. Pink Floyd I've got a bad feeling about that one.

There's no doubt where that one will end, but I still love my Phish.

The first time I saw Phish back in '94, they were playing one night and Pink Floyd was playing the next night. My parents told me I could only see one of the shows and I chose Phish. Pink Floyd had really declined by then and didn't want to see a shell of what they used to be.

 

[twosteppin]

i went for radiohead. i havet heard much of them. but i hate greenday. i would rather listen to britney spears than greenday.

Green Day

 

[Western Deity]

I've never listened to any Radiohead music or much Greenday music, so I decided I'd get two songs from each to judge. I listened to the two Radiohead tracks, "Creep" and "High and Dry", and then I listened to about 20 seconds of "Longview" by Greenday and it was obvious they're so much better.

Radiohead will **** this in by the looks of things, but they're absolutely awful IMO... so I voted for Greenday .

 

[Western Deity]

OK Computer is a masterpiece; the defining musical achievement of the last 20 years.

That's strictly opinion... although it's kind of good that that generation has a defining achievement... some of the music the people my age listen to is a joke, and nothing mainstream is terrible memorable .

But yeh, there's been far too much throughout the 80's and 90's to call that the defining achievement. Not taking away from Radiohead, but don't get Axver started about how U2 has been coming nice for the past 20 years .

 

[Shogun of Harlem]

Radiohead awful? Blasphemy! Creep definately isn't one of their better songs, though. I would have suggested something from Ok Computer, sheer brilliance.

 

[Western Deity]

Just out of curiousity (sp?), why is your nickname "Shogun of Harlem" with taste like Radiohead?

And I'll go and listen to something from "Ok Computer" now.

Edit: I found Paranoid Android, but it didn't impress me... guess it isn't my taste eh .

 

[oldrooster]

I will have to go with radiohead.

 

[KristianJ]

Radiohead. Green Day are OK, but Radiohead are much better.
