MR SILLY from uk on 2001-08-08 15:32 [#00020419]



Re: No, that's some of the people who listen to Radiohead,
NOT who Radiohead make their music for. Go back to sleep.

radiohead made kid A. the biggest rip-off ever. they took
music which is made by people in their bedrooms with a
computer and tried to emulate it in a
several-thousand-pound-a-week studio with all the resources
they have from being a successful rock band. So they make
this completely unoriginal album and people who don't know
any better (like yourself) rave about how they're pushing
boundries. YOU GO BACK TO SLEEP.


 

Morpheous on 2001-08-08 15:39 [#00020420]

You are a moron. But everyone can have they're own opinion.
We call those people morons. Cheerio!
I respect your opinion, don't hate.


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-27 19:23 [#00046096]



No see that's stupid... I don't like the Beatles and I don't
have to like the Beatles to like good music... but I do
respect what they did for music... it's just that nowadays
Yellow Submarine, and I Am the Walrus just don't do much for
me... they seem and sound dated to me... but hey, that's
just my opinion...

Ophecks on 2001-10-27 22:41 [#00046132]



Richard D would KILL to make a songs as tastefully
brrrrilliant as Rigby, or as weird as Walrus. He comes
close, mind you, but Lennon could beat him up.


 

Mat from Birmingham, UK on 2001-10-27 23:59 [#00046163]



I agree, the Beatles are one of the best bands ever... but
then again Bob Dylan is one of the best artists of the last
50 years and i donts see him on anyones list. People have
short memories.


 

Ophecks on 2001-10-28 00:33 [#00046179]



I'm not too into Dylan, he's too boring, none of that
Beatles strange stuff. Just a bloke with a guitar, but he's
quite good.


 

Ross on 2001-10-28 02:39 [#00046184]



i like the beatles, but was never into dylan..i am into
joplin though, but it's a matter of what sounds good to you
i guess


 

Ross on 2001-10-28 02:39 [#00046185]



i like the beatles, but was never into dylan..i am into
joplin though, but it's a matter of what sounds good to you

Ross on 2001-10-28 02:40 [#00046186]



sorry bout that double post..


 

rez from davis, CA on 2001-10-28 03:04 [#00046214]




i never could understand why the beatles are still popular.
they just suck. their songs are crap, lyrics are shit, it's
a load of worthless.... stuff.

you, I do like some of their stuff, but overall it doesn't
