I hate it when people say this. It's not funny and it's so not true. I think that "objectively", the best band ever could just as easily be Bon Jovi.

I am. Excluding Pablo Honey, of course.

I'm going to cut up all the text in the posts of this thread to form lyrics sung with one droning note, and use the typing sound on my laptop as drums for 6:32 and it will be the next Radiohead song/masterpiece.

But how is it not true when it's an objective opinion? There's tons of people out there who think Radiohead are the best band in the world and there's no right or wrong answers. It's not a fact it's just objective opinion, you're saying "it's not funny and it's so not true" like it is a fact.

Go for it, and post the results here when you're done so we can all listen in wonder and amazement.

My opinion is that Radiohead is the best band on the planet.

included in my opinion is also the Strokes as the second best band on the planet whatever that means. Basically my opinion holds as much weight as the next guy, none at all.

but to be honest with Radiohead's discography and effort for experimentation and pushing the envelope for everyone else they have to be leading the pack when it comes to music.

Think I chose Kid A as my favourite album... and I'm not even sure why. HTTT had me in a trance for months. There There is still my favourite song (all time), amazing live. I was impressed with the complete effort that was In Rainbows, both albums. and OK computer is still considered the best rock album ever recorded (definitely the best mastered album I think).

for someone to say they don't like Radiohead is almost a dull statement. They've re-invented themselves so many times for you. Crossed so many barriers.

no matter how many times they "re-invented" themselves, they are still po-faced people singing about alienation

there's not that much diversity in their work - mostly minor chords, downbeats

Pablo Honey has the most "variation" but it ain't exactly a "good" debut

right.............

when I talk diversity I'm talking album to album... to be diverse from one song to the next on the same album is pretty much pop music.

but from a Hard rock beginning to the electronia samples and ambient vocals they do alot of stuff in their music that alot of bands can't do. Half the time a non fan has little to no idea what Yorke is saying. Which is kinda cool!!!

Subjective, guys. The word is subjective.
