LOCK ME (3) Radiohead vs. (14) CCR

[Shavo]

Given many of the other bands I like, I should like Coldplay. However, I really don't like them. I wanted to like them...but just haven't been able to. I think OK Computer is plain awful, though I know it is highly respected by others & by critics.

 

I think you ment Radiohead, but yeah. Totally agree. I don't see the appeal in Radiohead.

I've never heard a Radiohead song in my life (I'm only 29). I've listened to CCR since I was in diapers.

 

A - how do you know you wouldn't like Radiohead, maybe even more than CCR, if you've never even heard their music?

 

B - how have you lived 29 years without ever hearing a Radiohead song?

ok computer and kid a have done more for music than anything ccr ever did.

 

 

Regardless of whether this is true, the first post in this thread says "vote for your fav." I wouldn't care if Radiohead invented music. I like listening to CCR more.

Holy cow now Derwood has to write the criteria to make it too! It does say favorite and I enjoy both bands but CCR has my vote.

I enjoy listening to CCR alot, I actually play their vinyl stuff alot on my turntable, but there is something that has always bothered me about them. I felt like alot of their songs sounded similar. I'm a big fan of diversity within a record, which is probably why my two favorite bands are Radiohead and the Beatles. I compare OK Computer to the Beatles' "Revolver" LP, which many critics believe is the greatest rock LP ever released. You won't find a track on either of those albums that even remotely sounds similar to another.

 

That said, I think the worst band of all time for having all their songs sound similar is Nickelback. God are they awful about that.
