British Band Tournament - Round 1. Radiohead vs The Human League

[YorkshireRed]

Voted Radiohead even though I have a friend that looks like Phil Oakey. In the summer of 1995 he ‘got lucky’ with a girl I’d put the hard yards in with while we were on holiday in Kavos.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Early post punk Human League is really rather good.

Being Boiled was a massive favourite in the Old Post Office back in the day.

Human League. Radiohead are overrated crap.

Take that to an amnesty thread.

Although still better than whining about a girl not wanting you despite your white knight rescuing of her from a bar job. Actually, thinking about it, Don’t You Want Me Baby is basically Harvey Weinstein’s theme tune

This should be the biggest walkover in the first found this 

In the round that contains Biffy Clyro v The Jam?  Nah.

 

Even your obvious attempts to sway the vote by leading with Radiohead's best song v Human League's worst can't engineer an absolute walkover.

Ok Coimputer, 23 years ago, fucking hell.

Don't fucking start me.

 

Human League are selling tickets for their "Dare - 40th Anniversary Tour".

Yeah, Radiohead for me are (well, "were" judging by this voting) in the conversation as potential winners of this.

Judging by the voting and comments, we are looking at a Radiohead versus Genesis final with the winner getting a specially commissioned set of Star Trek figurines. 

Star Trek is proper shit.

Anyone who says Radiohead are "depressing" hasn't ever fully listened to them so their opinion is about as useful as Viagra at a Eunuch Convention. 

[Strontium]

How do you "fully" listen to something? Do Radiohead fans possess hearing beyond the ordinary human range?

Have Radiohead ever made a song that a Goth wouldn't want to commit suicide to?

Yes, they actually have made lots of upbeat music.

Musical taste is subjective. No one’s opinion is superior to anyone else’s.

So "Westlife are better than the Beatles" is a valid enough statement?

To a westlife fan, yes.

Taste is wholly subjective, whereas I do believe quality has some objective element.

I'm not arguing that someone can't have an opinion on a bands music. I'm arguing that you can't have an opinion on a band you've never fully listened to which is totally different. 

 

Imagine judging Supergrass based solely upon that "We are Young" shite. You'd be missing out on some brilliant music.

 

I've never listened to a Linkin Park album for example, so I'd never offer an opinion on them being "depressing" or "boring" or whatever. Because I'd just be a tit.

Who, other than a 12 year old in 1999, would say that? However, it’s perfectly acceptable for someone to say they enjoy listening to Westlife more than they do The Beatles.

Yes, fair enough. I'm sure plenty of people would. Note on here like.

Westlife are better than The Beatles. There. I said it. Why? Because Ronan Keating is BRILLIANT!
