The Battle of the Bands, Round 1, Battle 5

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Oh man Radiohead is kicking butt!!

 

[blackwasp]

For the most part, I agree. OKC is better, but they're very comparable.

You're kidding right?

 

[nadroj1985]

You're kidding right?

Of course not. I've told you before that OKC is probably my favorite album ever. I certainly think it's better than Dark Side, although Dark Side is a very good album.

Why are you pitting two bands that are completly different genres against each other?

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

not every1 will always agree on matchups

Third Eye, we have been over this a bunch of times, and this is the way everyone decided was best. This tourney has different genres in it, so its inevitable that some band matchups will be not in the same genre. But since this is not a genre-specific tournament, it has to happen, there is no way around it.

Some more clarification for newcomers:
Before we started this we asked everyone to submit their favorite band for consideration in the tournament. The organizers, Absolutely lost 86, Breetai, and myself narrowed down this list to 32, then seeded them. All of us will think some matchups are mismatched, and a bunch of us have some favorite bands which are not included, but since a lot of people have different tastes in music, not everyone will be 100% pleased. But so far everyone seems to have fun and we've generated some good debate and laughs in the matchups.

Just looked at the bracket, ps. It's as likely as Elvis piloting a UFO, but what if 14 Green Day fans came out of nowhere?

Many people consider "Pet Sounds" to be one of the greatest albums ever released, I don't see how that makes them underrated.

That view has surfaced in the last few years, they are just getting their just due....

It could happen......

i know my vote dont count, but Green Day.

Many British bands are that way, they are the early clue to the new direction. But inevitably never live up to the hype. I have seen it from the 70s starting with T-Rex on. Much hype little longevity. In 20 years if they are still around I will give you a bow.

Radiohead and and more specifically OK Computer was a defining moment in 90s music, just look at how many bands we can see have been strongly influenced by their sound (Coldplay, Muse to name but two). And longevity is not neccessarily a mark of a defining band, Satus Quo have been around since Noah!

A bit like the season Leeds Utd just had
