Pink Floyd vs Radiohead

when I was a kid and had never heard pink floyd I thought it was gonna be this crazy wild drug music but it's music for sleepy old people

your mind has to be strong enough to cope with what's happening maaaaaan

if you like that weaksauce radiohead bleep bloop stuff then I guess that's ok, shrug

so tired

lol come on VG, Radiohead has some seriously amazing material

it's just... they aren't Pink Floyd, who have some seriously amazing material of all-time

both these bands have some great stuff and some garbage, voting for PF easy though

lol I actually do like a lot of radiohead, I'm trollin

but pink floyd RULES and I stand by that

Obviously I'm voting for Pink Floyd here. Radiohead isn't one of my least favorite bands, but OTOH Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands...

I mean, Radiohead has never released anything as awesome as Animals.

pink floyd is secretly a terrible band

iatee is not-so-secretly always wrong.

And they really don't have the same level of mass popularity that Pink Floyd has/had, especially when it comes to their weirder stuff.

this is the main thing that separates them

pink floyd attained full spectrum dominance with the most suburban of suburbanites, radiohead just never got that big

and probably nobody could reprise that role these days anyway

shit gets real when iatee zings something as being for old people

are 14 year olds these days going through "radiohead phases" or are they still just getting into the Floyd.

recently realized what a hottie young david gilmour was

that's why waters hated him so

hey there pretty lady

http://www.pcwalls.net/walls/david_gilmour_wallpaper__jpeg-other.jpg

'interstellar overdrive' is more of a genuine mindfuck than any radiohead song. hell, i kind of think 'bike' is, too.

we should just vote on hotness level

i guess that greenwood chap is p fetching

thom vs. waters? hmmm

gilmour was smokin back in the oldentimes

wcc now feeling a disturbance in the force xp

personally, as far as Floyd goes, imo the song to beat is One Of These Days.
You cannae fuckin top that

Cannot. Be. Done.

'have a cigar' is also way funnier of a capitalist-putdown than 'paranoid android.'

it's a hilarious capitalist putdown that makes me want to go to sleep

Iatee, have you listened to much pre-DSotM Pink Floyd? I agree that their most popular material is not wildly adventurous.

I thought we determined only Pet Shop Boys wrote good songs about capitalism.

"we"

Radiohead is OK, but Floyd is for the children.

gilmour + barret twofer as far as handsomeness goes - that has to settle it, floyd wins

I give Radiohead an edge when it comes to melody and harmony too, for the most part.

good christ

lol in rainbows buttcrack

lmao

did they not have enough blokes for pablo honey or

Second dude from the right is like THERE THERE

well that's just horrifying, huh

it's what the thread needed, though, right?

The true test: either band could have come up with these lyrics

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
One slip ... one slip

I like the groove on "Have a Cigar" but I find it pretty hard to take the lyrics seriously. Gotta say Tanya had a point: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/hate/2001/12/which-ones-pink/

Also I really can't think of a single Radiohead song that has brought me to tears but I can think of like at least 6 Pink Floyd songs that have...

lmao

how high were you man

high on lyfe and floyd maaaaan

Did pink floyd smoke weed?
ive wondered that for awhile now, and though it seems apparent that they would have ive never really seen any evidence at all of it.
anyone?

radiohead would be better if it weren't for thom yorke. as it stands i can't bring myself to vote for either, they're both monumentally uninteresting to me in 2013

what's the big problem with music for sleepy old ppl supposed to be, anyway

xxpost not as high as syd

one day we'll all be old men desperately trying to regain our youth by insisting that the cherished bands of a previous generation's youth are secretly boring

you're secretly boring

Give it another 10 years and Radiohead wins this.

hahah

my guess? most of the people voting radiohead were trolls from the goon squad.

oh shit, better vote

fuck

Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.

81 ppl need to be trained not to spit in the fan

I voted... Pink Floyd rules.

Someone needs to make an animated gif of the Battersea pig with the Deal With It sunglasses

AN OPEN LETTER TO RADIOHEAD

April 23, 2017
London, April 24th 2017

Dear Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Philip Selway,

You’re listed to play Tel Aviv in July this year.

We’d like to ask you to think again – because by playing in Israel you’ll be playing in a state where, UN rapporteurs say, ‘a system of apartheid has been imposed on the Palestinian people’.

We understand you’ve been approached already by Palestinian campaigners. They’ve asked you to respect their call for a cultural boycott of Israel, and you’ve turned them down. Since Radiohead campaigns for freedom for the Tibetans, we’re wondering why you’d turn down a request to stand up for another people under foreign occupation. And since Radiohead fronted a gig for the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we’re wondering why you’d ignore a call to stand against the denial of those rights when it comes to the Palestinians.

Radiohead once issued a statement saying: ‘Without the work of organisations like Amnesty International, the Universal Declaration would be mere rhetoric’. You’ve clearly read Amnesty’s reports, so you’ll know that Israel denies freedom to the Palestinians under occupation, who can’t live where they want, can’t travel as they please, who get detained (and often tortured) without charge or trial, and can’t even use Facebook without surveillance, censorship and arrest.

In asking you not to perform in Israel, Palestinians have appealed to you to take one small step to help pressure Israel to end its violation of basic rights and international law. Surely if making a stand against the politics of division, of discrimination and of hate means anything at all, it means standing against it everywhere – and that has to include what happens to Palestinians every day. Otherwise the rest is, to use your words, ‘mere rhetoric’.

You may think that sharing the bill with Israeli musicians Dudu Tassa & the Kuwaitis, who play Jewish-Arabic music, will make everything OK. It won’t, any more than ‘mixed’ performances in South Africa brought closer the end of the apartheid regime. Please do what artists did in South Africa’s era of oppression: stay away, until apartheid is over.

Yours,

Alexei Sayle ?!?

He's still around?

Ugh there's a lost worth polling

dangit, i had the chance to start a new radiohead poll and i blew it

I'm trying to figure out which of these two bands discographies contains the most laughs. At least Roger Waters had a good reason for his misery, what's Radiohead's excuse?

Thom Yorke is eternally cursed to look like the homunculus of Mads Mikkelsen's character in Valhalla Rising
