Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: Scabbie on April 18, 2005, 08:54:24 AM Prefer MUSE to Radiohead.
Good to see AFD is up there, maybe the next time Chinese Democracy will be in the top 10 too! :hihi: Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on April 18, 2005, 10:03:02 AM I can definately see OK Computer as #1. that is an amazing album. It made me buy everything they put out as well.
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: Gunner80 on April 18, 2005, 02:51:31 PM They sure missed the mark on that list. No Motley Crue - but yet they have HUMAN LEAGUE on the list. :rant: :puke:
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: DirtyLittleThing on April 18, 2005, 03:36:58 PM of course they are on the list! 8) GUNS N' ROSES never dies...but why is the beatles twice and radiohead #1... :-\
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: wadey on April 18, 2005, 04:42:56 PM i thought AFD should have been higher than 9.......Doesn't it still sell around 9000 copies a week?
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: nick on April 18, 2005, 04:50:36 PM OK Computer is amazing (so is The Bends) but everything else after that is horrible...
Its a shame to see a band go from good to bad like that... Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: jgfnsr on April 18, 2005, 07:18:08 PM Even the biggest Radiohead fan in the world has to admit that their record sticks out like a sore thumb on that list. Especially at #1! ::)

Gyns N`Roses Apetitte For Destruction is on 9 position, Oasis debut is on 6 - :rant: Fuckin` def englishman!!! Call to fireman department to wash your ears!!! ASSHOLES!!! :rant: :rant: :rant: Here missing clasics like Black Metallica, Deep Purple, The Wall of Pink Floyd and etc. Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: RKD on September 24, 2005, 04:39:22 PM i voted for Appetite 10 times, i was just happy it made it into the top 10. GnR can't be Number 1 at everything you know.
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: ppbebe on September 24, 2005, 05:47:28 PM Ditto to RKD
Whoa Denis. No big deal. Taste differs. I like those albums too but I don't expect them to make the top 6 of all time n genres outside the UK (and maybe France ?). Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: michaelvincent on September 24, 2005, 05:55:41 PM Radiohead was rated as having the greatest album ever in the UK? How shocking. ::)

ASSHOLES!!! :rant: :rant: :rant: Here missing clasics like Black Metallica, Deep Purple, The Wall of Pink Floyd and etc. atleast its better than the obligatory "nevermind" at number one. Believe it or not, since you were not canvassed for your vote then this poll does not represent you. Your disagreeing is understandable as music is a largely cultural phenomenon. So don't get angry. Both radiohead and oasis have been the two most influential bands in britain over the last decade, so their being highly placed is understandable. Look at polls from france and they include french bands up their with the beatles, rolling stones etc yet they'll be unknown outside france. Same goes for most countries. And your generalisations about the english are exactly what i'd expect from a lazy, fat american/arrogant frenchy/efficient german/etc (delete as applicable) But from someone who obviously has it in for radiohead i wouldn't expect a great deal of tolerance.....

Any time Nevermind DOESN'T get the top spot in a poll is good, but I don't think a Radiohead album is any better. I mean, of all time???!!! Give me a break. Better to at least go with obligatory Beatles album at #1.

It`s very funny!!! ;D I really enjoy this :rofl: Thanks for makin my day!!! Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on September 25, 2005, 06:18:45 PM Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands ever. They are a decent band but in 10 years everyone will forget this albums. I like radiohead but would never put them in the same status as someone like gnr, the stones, zeppelin or aerosmith as some of the best bands ever. Oasis is up there with being overrated esp in the UK.
The best albums of all time should look something like this abbey road LZ IV sticky fingers AFD the wall Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: plasmabeam on September 25, 2005, 11:23:48 PM What do people like about Radiohead? I listen to them when I can't fall asleep at night
Title: Re: GNR on 100 Greatest Albums (Channel 4 UK) Post by: iloozion on September 26, 2005, 03:57:39 AM didn't we have this whole discussion ages ago (ie: when the channel4 show was actually broadcast!)??!!
