 I would put Oasis waaaaaay above Radiohead on any list...and I wouldn't put them in the top 50.

Thats harsh......
 
 Perhaps Mank, that Radiohead is to some generations what joy division was to yours. Imagine how much better radiohead would be regarded if Tom Yorkie had died after their third album?
 
 My God at that point they could have become the greatest band ever, there was so much potential. Its a shame he didnt die. Much as its a shame poor old Ian did, but he might have sullied his good record too, if he had not. [/b]

So what "movement" are Radiohead responsible for? [/b]

The bowel movement.

What's all the chatter about Joy Division?
 The Happy Mondays are the only Manc band that matters. Oasis are a pseudo-thug Beatles coverband in comparison.
 Nobody could dance and deal like Bez!!!
 
 Shaun's lyrics are the best...
   
 Son, Iâ??m 30
 I only went with your mother â??cause sheâ??s dirty
 And I donâ??t have a decent bone in me
 What you get is just what you see yeah
 I should so I take it free yeah
 And all the bad preserves be things that feed me
 I never help or give to the needy
 Come on and see me

Not exactly stuff I want to sit around an pollute my mind with. But maybe I'm missing some more interesting stuff? Mr. Curtis...you can't hear what the fuck he is singing anyway.

you sound like Tipper Gore.

I dont know that in order to be one of the best bands ever, you have to be responsible for "starting a movement"
 
   Certainly some of the great ones have, but some havent either. And perhaps Radiohead DID start one, thats just not really clear right now, because its so new.  Either way, they certainly play the best music i have heard from a band in "my time".  
    Think about it this way....Is the best athlete the one whos won the most championships? or the one who has the best stats?  or was the best team player?   I suppose you can argue it forever, but its just comes down to what you consider to be criteria for the best.
 
    Oh, and for the record, when people call records "important" it just makes me laugh, how fucking stupid.
 
   and Radiohead's DSOTM hasnt been written yet, but i think it is yet to come.

She would have made an excellent first lady.

no, the big difference is that she wanted to censor it for everyone, he's just saying it sounds like shit, not necessarily trying to keep you from listening to it

She wanted to slap a parental warning sticker on it, which I think is a good idea. I don't think she ever said she wanted to ban anything outright.

There were repercussions beyond just slapping a label on CDs...

I would tend to agree that these lists don't matter anymore, but I saw a story that said that RS got the highest number of advertisers ever for this issue.  
 
 While that means that you get lots of ads with your predictable list, it also means that a lot of people who make their living predicting how well a particular issue will sell think that a lot of people still think this list matters.
