Lotta vitriol towards U2 here, and I can't figure out why.
I can't stand U2. Radiohead big 3 Bends/OK Comp/ Kid A are all fantastic. Easy callGood god, no. U2 is a top 10 all-time band. Radiohead is for douchenozzles.
Lotta vitriol towards U2 here, and I can't figure out why.I think it's largely because msufan's taste in music really, really blows.
Good god, no. U2 is a top 10 all-time band. Radiohead is for douchenozzles.U2 top ten band? Lord no. I can't think of a band less deserving of their success. At least the Doors are slightly explainable based on Morrison's early death. Bono wasn't so kind to us.

Bono wasn't so kind to us.Uhh... yeah... no. Wrong again bubble boy. The only explanation for the Doors' relatively limited success is the mystery of Jim Morrison's death. Otherwise their music was terrible.
Comparing U2 a band with quite frankly marginal musical talent to Radiohead is laughable.Are you 12? You seem like you're 12.
Ok Computer and Kid A are both masterpieces. Consider by many to be the best albums of their decade. Radiohead did things no band had ever done.
U2 is like the 80/90's version of Nickelback.
Saying Radiohead is for douchenozzles is fine I guess. You are the music version of the Miller Lite drinker that hates the guy with the amazing IPA that guy says the same thing.
Are you 12? You seem like you're 12.
Comparing Radiohead a band with quite franly zero musical talent to U2 is laughable.
War, October, Boy, Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree are all masterpieces. Cosnidered by many to be the best of all time. U2 broke ground that Radiohead could never even dream of.
Radiohead is like the 90s/2000s version of REO Speedwagon.
You are the music version of the Franzia-in-a-box drinker that hates the guy importing Bordeaux directly from France, that guy says the same thing.
(See how this works?)
Radiohead is definitely very, very douchey. I didn't actively dislike their music, but I did get really worn out by their fanbois who just had to insist they were The Greatest EVAR!!!
I like Achtung Baby a lot more now, decades later, than I did when it came out. I wanted more War/Boy/October or even Joshua Tree, and Achtung Baby was just such a departure. But now, I really really enjoy it.Same-same
I never got into Radiohead, so U2 is an easy choice for me.
msufan is simply proving my point. It's so incredibly predictable. I have no idea why Radiohead fanbois absolutely can't stand the thought of anyone thinking that their favorite band isn't just the absolute bestest, EVAR!!! But there you have it.
Anyway, like I said, I don't have any specific problem with Radiohead. I think they're douchey but so was Rick Springfield and I like his music okay. But it's always Radiohead's intractable and sanctimonious fanbois that ruin the discussion. Every. Single. Time.
As far as talent, I was certainly exaggerating. I don't think they have zero talent. I do absolutely think they have less talent than U2.
Does that make you wanna fight me? It sure seems like it does.
Uhh... yeah... no. Wrong again bubble boy. The only explanation for the Doors' relatively limited success is the mystery of Jim Morrison's death. Otherwise their music was terrible.We are saying the same thing. I hate the Doors, but at least there is a reason for them being so overrated, that Morrison died young. Bono has survived to torture us for three decades, so I can even figure a reason for their popularity.
Or maybe it's because everyone was just really, REALLY stoned out of their minds for about a decade. I guess that could explain it, too. Stoned people make terrible decisions.

Radiohead is fine, I'm no huge fan. I just have a hard time thinking of a band I find more overrated than U2. Doors for sure, but again, if Morrison had lived, they wouldn't be what they are.
Uhh... yeah... no. Wrong again bubble boy. The only explanation for the Doors' relatively limited success is the mystery of Jim Morrison's death. Otherwise their music was terrible.You been standing by your smokers for too long.Take a deep breath - for 20 minutes.Ya some of those inbreeding country crooners aren't horrible drunks or wife beaters.But it's clever/cute in a down home kinda way
Problem is that so many of those albums are so much better than Achtung Baby... That one had commercial success but I don't think it compares to October, for example...

I have no real strong feelings for Dylan. I think he's an artist where you had to be there to have the love for him. I have no trouble loving music before my time, I just can't get into Dylan.I'm not the world's biggest Bob Dylan fan either, and I was there, but I really deplore the Rolling Stones, for whom I was also there, so I voted for "Blood on the Tracks." One other person voted for Dylan. My post--in jest--was for all the guys who were sticking up for Dylan on that thread but voted for the Stones.
