The Vines take this, underrated band The Vines and Craig Nicholls was a mad genius, a crazy unpredictable lead singer that was capable of brilliance.

New Order wins, Radiohead should stop arsing about covering other bands songs, produce another OK Computer and stop resting on their bloody laurels.

This is the only song that's lived up to OK Computer quality from their latter albums.



Name another Radiohead song produced after that song that is better, I bet you can't. they've gone downhill.

Wrote arguably the best album of the '90s, hell you'd be hard pressed to find many better since, but they are 'going downhill' because they can't top brilliance? Jaysus. Kid A is pretty close in terms of overall quality, In Rainbows is excellent, they hardly produced a bad effort in 20 years. Going downhill is not the phrase you are looking for here.

You'd have to have some lofty expectations to think Kid A and In Rainbows aren't any decent. Kid A is a genuine classic although the legacy has shifted back toward OK Computer with it being 20 years old now as their absolute classic, but Kid A is still one of the best albums ever. In Rainbows one of the finest of the download era. Their worst album is The King Of Limbs which is their 'we're 45-year old millionaires with three classic albums; let's just try something here' record and even that has a moment every now and then. A Moon Shaped Pool was by no means terrible either – basically considered their fourth best album even if I think it's overrated.

As for songs as good as OK Computer ones, past OK Computer? Well there's two albums full and about 25 other tracks.

OK Computer was always going to be impossible to top or even match but most of their albums since have been a let down, I sort of lost interest in them after Hail to the Thief though. I also thought Amnesiac was better than Kid A which had too much dull electro/synth and not enough guitars.

What you are essentially saying is they shifted away from your tastes. Doesn't mean that most of what they have produced since OK Computer isn't of the highest quality.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Honestly, I prefer NIN's version. Reznor's sounds more belligerent and depressed which goes along more with the lyrics and atmosphere of the song.

Yeah but how many of those have big, hulking guitar parts and anthemic choruses? Exactly.

Plugger is right about one thing though - There, There is a top ten Radiohead song.

 

[Silent Alarm]

There There is pretty good but 2 + 2 = 5 is better.

Live though, There There is one of their best... sick, sick song live.

Love 2+2=5, Everything In Its Right Place, Optimistic.

******* hate Rich Girl Stage Name's cover. And it was only 3 years after the original came out.

 

[Nostradumbass]

I'm voting for Stevie Ray, unbelievable player who did Jimi better than Jimi

Don't agree. SRV was a monster guitarist but he overplayed Hendrix's material.

 

[Dan Moody]

L J Hooker

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

Do not need to post the other one as it is a clear no contest.

 

[phantom13]

Ryan Adams version of Wonderwall is better than Oasis.
