Pink Floyd vs. Radiohead

[Donovan McNabb]

There are certainly lots of bands who are similar to these 2 bands, but these 2 were very popular in their times, so I chose these bands. Who do you got?

I like early Radiohead, but anything they made in the last like 10 years is trash.

Radiohead. Last group that really grabbed me, before I got too old. Never been a big Pink Floyd fan.

[Drizzay]

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

Floyd...all day every day. David Gilmore is one of the greatest guitar players ever.

This.

I love Radiohead but it's not even close.

His solo on Comfortably Numb, on the Pulse album is so awesome. So much power to it. Same with his work on the slide guitar during Sorrow and also High Hopes.

I don't really value either band as strong instrumentally.

Are you saying you don't think they are good musicians, or just that you don't pay attention the sound, but rather the lyrics?

I think both bands are competent instrumentally, but I doubt many people value them in that regard. I think people like them because they are creative and innovative.

I could definitely agree with you, regarding Radiohead (though outside of Creep, I'm not really a fan), but I think you might be underselling Gilmour, and how he's regarded as a guitarist. I think he's pretty widely considered one of the best.

Either way, it's hard to argue with the creativeness that both put out. While I'm not a Radiohead fan, I have a lot of respect for what they've done. I'm a music fan, first and foremost, so even if it's something I don't particularly care for, I can appreciate it.

It's his touch, pitch, and phrasing that makes him so, so good.

A lot of guys can play fast.

Hardly any can play with his emotion and sound.

How do you even cover this song?

This is just nonsense babble. Playing with emotion is an immeasurable positive you're giving him. No one can prove it right or wrong.

Music is art.

There is no right and wrong.

yes there is. If I said I have a comparable vocal range to Chris Cornell I would be wrong.

Oh sweet troll, we're talking about emotion not facility.

There is a lot to this. While you can argue the solo on Comfortably Numb isn't some sort of technical masterpiece (I might not agree with someone that says it isn't, but I can understand the take), it's so hard to argue the emotion. It is such a powerful solo.

[thinktank]

Well, the note bending is technically a masterpiece. He's one of the best ever at that. A hell of a lot better than Slow Hand Clapton, for example.

But yes, of course emotion counts. That's what should count the most.

I love Radiohead (The Bends is one of my favorite records ever) but it's Pink Floyd every day and twice...
