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.

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?
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.

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.

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.

"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.

Originally posted by exanda kaneThey are less famous than those bands, but they are still "greater" than all of them.
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...
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.
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.
