There's a *reason* they're more popular. Because they write music for the people who like to listen to the music and enjoy it, not the tossers who enjoy "progression" and all the other bollocks. I could write a better song than Idioteque with one hand tied behind my back, for example.

You are so, so, so, so wrong. Thom Yorke's voice live is an amazing thing to behold. It truly SOARS. I watched him sing 'I Will' on his own with guitar at Earl's Court and it was fucking spellbinding. Real goosepimples good. No I am so so so so right. Yorke sounds like a dieing hipopotomouse at the best of times he's awful. Most of the songs are buried under reverb their lyrics make the chorus of Some Might say look like Shakspere. Each to his own, mate. But, IMO, you are utterly misguided when it comes to the 'Head. And as for using the playing of a song over a losing rugby game -- come on. Keane songs get played on Sky Sports a lot. What gets on telly or the radio has nowt to do with quality.

OK Computer AND the Bends are better than any Oasis album. Those are 2 of the best records ever, and even though Definitely Maybe and WTSMG are also 2 of the best, they're not as good as either of those Radiohead albums... Mmm, no. No, pretty sure you're wrong.

If you don't like Radiohead, who gives a fuck? Who comes to an Oasis message board to whine on about how they don't like Radiohead & who wants to read about it? Some people don't even care for the beatles and it makes no difference to anything. Get over it, move on! there's nothing that was worth posting in this whole thread.

Don't like Radiohead, never have, I find them boring. I've got nothing against them, though, but their music just isn't my kinda thing.

I'm not saying Johnny Greenwood isn't talented, I'm not saying Radiohead as a whole aren't a good band. But I just can't listen to their new stuff without feeling suicidal. It's the most depressed shit ever

^ bollocks is what I think of that, there's no chance that's accurate. I agree with puretone that album sales have no bearing on the listener but regardless I'm not going to take some half assed wikipedia quotes as evidence that Oasis have shifted DOUBLE what Radiohead have - not a chance. Have you got the links to those pages?! I don't think there's anyway you could actually accurately find out anyway to be honest, its all specualtion isn't it? unless you contact the record co's... Go look up both bands. There ae links to the statements given.

^ what the fuck are you on about now?
please just let this thread die like it was. No one cares about comparisons that aren't their between these two very different bands. This is an Oasis board. If you don't like Radiohead - go bitch about them to someone who gives a shit!

So STFU and go listen to OK Computer and give your fingers and my eyes a rest.

Oasis = Very good, more anthemic, superb singalongs, drunken nights out. Radiohead = Calming down the morning after over a hot coffee.
