Did you see my comment on that one?

He's right, and while I agree that Paul Weller is an arsehole, The Jam had an energy and drive that Radiohead can only dream of.Animavore wrote:You're wrong.Crumple wrote:Misery and repitition.

Oh and, The Jam suck. Paul Weller is an arsehole.
It's interesting to read Thom Yorke's words - all about hating being "big", never wanting to create "art" (implying that he has) and other crap denials.
Even REM came up with something as silly and fun as Shiny, Happy, People, if only to prove they can fucking do it.

Re: Radiohead
The "Big Sell" from the Seventies has always been The Clash, a band beloved of the NME and other musical press, but of fucking nobody I've ever met.

I know what energy is and I never said it was about shouting.

Radiohead's for people who think popular music has immense depth and gravitas.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: Radiohead
Pierce Brosnan was surprisingly good in that film but I would never describe any type of music as "important". It's not vaccines.devogue wrote:Mamma Mia is better, and more important, than all of Radiohead's work put together.Animavore wrote:I'm obvious dis-proof of that.devogue wrote:Proper popular music.stripes4 wrote:I know.

Re: Radiohead
No. Merely pointing out that musical taste is, by its very nature, subjective, in a lighthearted way.devogue wrote:Now you're just being silly.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:And 4' 33" is better and more important than all of Mozart's works put together.

So is any concept of musical 'importance' tbh. Any musician that thinks their music is important needs to get out more.
