Pink Floyd vs Radiohead

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...

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

i have a friend who i consider among the least emotional people I know, and Pink Floyd is the only thing that reduces him to tears.

50 cent does have a softer side

it's not really a secret

50 does ask for a hug, after all.

lol JD :)

LOL I was just going to post that....

radiohead is a cherished band of my generation and they are actively boring. they have better songs than floyd tho who was also often boring but with even more boring chords and stuff.

is The Eraser a better album than About Face?

tell me about these "better songs"

Radiohead = more intelligence, more ideas, more sonics

Floyd = more scope, more innovation, more psychedelia

tough call. radiohead have never been remotely as bad as floyd, but it's debatable as to whether they've been as good either

leaning radiohead because imo floyd were at their best nearer the start and then lost it horribly after wixiw

boring but with even more boring chords and stuff.

jeez pipe down with the theory shit this ain't berklee

how does one measure a band's "intelligence"?

how well did they take down capitalism

did they take it all the way down or just a little bit down

how does one measure a band's "intelligence"?

i was just gonna say

Rog, Thom: If a train is travelling 15 miles per hour in a southerly direction and there's a 20 minute spacerock jam 2 miles down the road at what speed is the train travelling when you go down the rabbithole

(whereas TKOL is imvho up there with rh's best albums, a work of enormously satisfying subtlety)

intelligence measured in the extent of intellectual grappling w/ musical ideas, the presentation of the text, the sense albeit subjective of avenues considered

....

so how do you judge that PF is less intelligent than Radiohead, based on your criteria

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace

how does one measure a band's "intelligence"?

presumably by how unhappy they are about being filthy rich

for me, pink floyd are much more instinctual and 'see if it sticks' than radiohead, who seem to want to exert an enormous amount of control and active mental participation in the process of releasing music

not saying that intelligence is preferable - sometimes instinct is! perhaps 'considered' would have been a better word. one thing that stops me from loving radiohead more is their relative inability to let go and jam out a little, or risk writing longer/more convoluted songs

for me, pink floyd are much more instinctual and 'see if it sticks' than radiohead

I feel like you've never actually heard Pink Floyd

i feel you've never sat through a fucking momentary lapse of fucking reason

an album that couldn't be stupider if it agggh not now, not again

lol no, I knew better than that

imago, do you listen to music

:D

Putting aside who gives a good goddamn whether music is "instinctual" or not, I don't see how the most casual of listens to TDSOTM reveals a record made by people who threw ideas against the wall to see what would stick.

it's just, how do you call a band that released multiple overaching thematic concept albums "instinctual"

they just hit record and jammed that DSOTM out dude!

hell A Momentary Lapse of Reason, despite sounding like its title, unfolds like they worried every solo to death.

they threw 10 albums at The Wall, i guess you could say

and they missed imago, apparently
