| Quote The Angry Pirate="The Angry Pirate"The problem is with bands like Oasis and the Stone Roses, is that because they are so musically limited, their lifespans will always be very short before they begin to sound stale and uninteresting.
Oasis got 2 albums in before most people realised they were a 1 trick pony, the Stone Roses even less (though they craftily went missing for a few years in order to further a dying career).
The Beatles, because they were musically gifted, were able to prolong their careers, and produce music that often broke new ground and gained them new admirers....Similarly, in recent times Radiohead have managed to do the same thing.
Yes, many folk are put off by their miserablist reputation, but 7 albums in, with all being different to their predecessor, I would challenge anybody that they can't deny they haven't produced at least 1 great album, whether it be the traditional rock of 'The Bends' or the more recent, more experimental stuff like 'In Rainbows'....'"
Radiohead have produced one great album and one good one. The others are either unlistenable or willfully bizarre...

And so you prove my theory....
And I'm guessing the two you cite as great and good are 'The Bends' and 'OK Computer'??.....
The point is, and the reason they are respected within the music industry, is that they refuse to take the easy option and just regurgitate their commercial, 'easier-listening' stuff and instead try to come up with something different, even if it does alienate a large proportion of people, who seem to prefer straight forward, rather dull (in my opinion), trad-rock music.

In that order, yes! Which is rather odd, as OK Computer seems to be the more lauded of the two.
It's all about opinions, though, and I have a feeling my lack of appreciation of Radiohead's later stuff may be down to the fact my tastes have become, sadly, rather less catholic with age

| Opens the door for The Courteeners to step up the 'gobby scruffy northerner' plate.
Seems The Verve have faded out, too.

| Gutted Oasis have split, saw them 3 times the final one this year at Slane Castle Ireland. One of the best gigs i have ever been to. No doubt Noel will have a successful solo career now.

The Courteeners aren't really gobby at all. I've met them a few times and they are all good lads.
