Are you talking about musical output? If so, it's opinion based in any case.

Reputation/standing? They're equal or higher.

Reputation to music lovers or the general public? Because I would take a guess that not your average cretin has heard of them.

There are bands like Oasis (there crap) and the Jam (good), and then there are bands like Blur (Great) and The Verve (great again). Radiohead fit into the second lot.

Yes, they are actually better than those bands.

Would you like be to break out the crayola and construct a primary school level flow-diagram?

Yes please. I may be able to derive English from that. And what context were you placing...

"Yes, they are actually better than those bands."

...in?

The general public is idiotic.

Exactly, why are you being stupid?

Your average cretin doesn't understand why Radiohead are rated as high as they are. The fact that they are worthy of every bit of praise and are also, factually, legendary isn't up for debate.

Thats true.

It should be the test of whether a band are great or not that one.

I personally believe their music is much, much better. This is subjective though, I can't prove it anymore than you can disprove it (which judging by your posts and taste, couldn't anyway).

They're factually equal or higher, as stated, in terms of reputation.

-AC

But in what context are you placing them against?

And don't be a little gremlin and start flaming. just relax, take a few pills and look at my first few posts...okay?

I'm not flaming you, kid.

You genuinely do not know a thing about music or what a good band is. Add to the fact that you're a patriotic fool and it's a recipe for disaster.

You've literally had two people explain the same thing to you about four times.

Patriotic (the fact that I start this point off first should tell you how much that hurts XD)...no I'm not, probably the opposite but what does that matter. It matters that you live in the US though - O how all the musical talent has dispersed from that fell land!

How can you possibly try and concieve any taste if your american.......

phew...well enuf about 'that stuff' I find it hard for you to criticise my taste when you hardly know nothing about my tasste apart from my recent liking of Fightstar.

Yes, a few months ago I laughed about them. I heard a song (Grand Unification Part 1) and foguth it was utter bollocks. But then I had the chance to listen to a few songs and i got into them. Has that ever happened to you, but then I suppose you've just lapped up what MTV has fed you.

Muse 'Feeling Good' does carry the same kind of tone as much of Radioheads 'dankier' stuff.

I'm English you idiot.

How can you say you're not patriotic? You've sat there claiming that you're racist toward Americans and that all British stuff is the best just because it's British.

How can you possibly try and concieve any taste if your american.......

"Taste"? Haha, good one. Bloc Party, Coldplay, Lostprophets and Fightstar isn't taste.

You're accusing me of lapping up when you're the one who has been fed Fightstar and been sucked into liking them.

Who were they? Laurel and Hardy? Ho ho.

I'd also like to recommend Arcade Fire's 'Funeral', if you like expansive music-scapes. The Pixes would also probably entertain your brain.

What planet do you people live on lol. Radiohead just dont cut it as Legendary, they come close. - sure its an opinion but you don't list great bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Radiohead...
They are less famous than those bands, but they are still "greater" than all of them.

Radiohead is one of the greatest bands ever made. They are one of very few bands who is not afraid to try new things constantly - something that most bands don't do because they're too scared to lose their fans. Not to mention that Thom Yorke is an excellent singer, and musically and lyrically the band is miles above 99.9% of other bands that are around. Radiohead IS legendary. It is possible for a band to be a legend while they are still around, you realize.

God. Look what ya made me do. Now it looks like I hate Radiohead 😱

I don't think anyone cares if you do or not. You're still wrong in what you said.

Sigur Ros are "radiohead"-esq and f*cking brilliant too, going to be going to their show when they come to Aus next year

I get a bit of Radiohead when I listen to Sigur Ros, think it's from the vocals, certain songs I just think humm Radiohead. Nothing alike though lol, strange.

Both fantastic bands that I adore so much.

And to be honest AC I don't care what other people think about my opinions, however this is a forum so I can say what i like. I do not think Radiohead should be called legendary, not yet.
