There was a time when I thought I just couldn't get Radiohead, too. But after getting tired of listening to the same old bands coming out with the same old songs, listening to Radiohead sounded like a revelation. To me, Radiohead is not about beeps and boops. I have no idea what that is. Instead, I hear a beautifully painted abstract art, like that of Jackson Pollock's. Not everybody got his art but he was a master of his own, much like Radiohead.

But really, DeKooning was much better.

I like them both, but I'd listen to radiohead a little more.

Perspective wise, I think De Kooning had better visions than Pollack, before Pollack started the "drip" painting. De Konings paintings had more depth in the lines and better flow of the colors whereas Pollack's earlier works have cluttered lines and "experimental" colors. That's is why I think his earlier works are not as cherished as his later "drip" works, IMO. But at that time, his "drip" works had a lot of subjective opinions which still exists today. Personally, I think his later works are brilliant and I love ever curbs and every splashed drops of paints with a unified flow of colors. Only in his mind could he paint the pieces with truly abstract use of colors and lines.

Radiohead. I love radio...oh you mean the band. Sure, I love them too.

Definately Nirvana, I think they were one of the most influential bands of the 90's, if not for that much of it.

 

[atothex]

Nirvana. This poll is broken. =(

 

[Aimless1]

Nirvana is ok but Radiohead is the real deal. Creative, innovative and wonderful musicality. Unfair comparison Mr Mahler.

If this were a horse race it would be Secretariat down the stretch winning by not by a nose, but by a furlong. Radiohead is waiting for Nirvana to cross the line

A question to the OP, how many polls have you posted? just out of curiosity.

I enjoy them both equally especially for their distinctiveness, as music lovers I think we should be allowed too without needing to pick one over another.

no disrespect intended

I love all music, as for without it, a big part of me would die.

Of this nature.......band on band comparisons.......somewhere between 15 and 20.........many of them are not my own invention.....i merely post them.

No disrespect taken.

Same here, but doesn't me want to try some Radiohead

 

[EnOYiN]

I would have to go with Radiohead. Mainly because I still listen to Radiohead regularly and I rarely ever listen to Nirvana these days although I used to do so a lot. Both are great bands for sure.

 

[Gladstone]

I love Radiohead.

 

[Georgie Fruit]

casting my vote for neither

I thought the most popular bands were always tool vs radiohead ?
