DDN vs. Radiohead's The Bends

Neongod · 12.14.2007, 04:30 PM

The folks over at the most prominent Radiohead message board have put up a poll for DDN vs. The Bends (they could have at least chose Kid A or OK Computer). The results here will not be surprising but I thought in all fairness it would be appropriate.
Here's the link to the poll, but you have to be a member to view.

For the record, DDN by a mile for me (and it's currently winning...on a RH message board!).

what's the point? The Bends is Radiohead's shittiest album, so...

atsonicpark · 12.14.2007, 04:40 PM

Is this a joke?

The Bends isn't even in the same universe as Daydream Nation.

atsonicpark · 12.14.2007, 04:43 PM

I'd take, say, Kid A over DDN.

But I'd take Sister and Confusion over Kid A.

Why compare Radiohead and SY? Radiohead are overrated and boring and have like 1 great album and perhaps 2 really good ones. Sonic Youth is infiintely better.

But again - what's the point of even comparing them? They're not even of the same genre.. in fact there's hardly anything similiar about the two.

Agreed. But someone chose to compare them so I thought I'd bring it here. Like I said, the results will not be surprising.

Not sure about that. Ever heard Pablo Honey in its entirety?

atsonicpark · 12.14.2007, 05:06 PM

They're both pretty bad honestly.

Either way...
I was a seeking out for a funnel. Not only magnets but I could pry bar it shut. Glueing my manhood turns a man off. Like peppy lepew the scent hey hey had a clutch. I got my diddly spayed. Hydraulic push of kitty assbutton. Tweeking and flexing if the wind blows just right. Tacky and thumbs on Polyester. Highwater jumpsuits and a raped ape. Then I take it back. I got my diddly spayed. I don't know why, I got a joke too silly to say. Don't trust the foams.. I got ... Dick dick hear my fucking hate! I got my diddly spayed. Vinegar and Water is gaining monthly. Fiberglass insulation disquised as cotton candy. Spanning down stream el Rancho ovulate. Feeding a cow hamburger and raw. Peter has brought me the tiki idol. Billys sneer reminds me of someone. Homesick a bay aboard the love boat. Toni Tenile Sonny Bono Charo had a nice set of lungs. I got my diddly spayed.

HAHAHAHA

seriously... the Radiohead board is retarded for simply coming up with the idea to compare the two (just a joke, Rhead boardies! I don't want to spark Fall v. SY II). Radiohead are one of my favourite bands, but the Bends is shitty, and comparing it to Daydream nation... is a fucking insult.

Those two albums are so different. ateaseweb is full of fanboy's anyway.

SYRFox · 12.15.2007, 05:57 AM

In french Rock&Folk (probably the shittiest music newspaper ever), Thom Yorke has wrote an article this month - which you can read online, don't even imagine I buy such a crappy zine - about In Rainbows, and he says he has been influenced by Thurston Moore's tricks about tuning guitars (apparently they are on Thurston's site). I know it's not really accurate in this thread but I found that funny

yep! I've heard and listened to each R. album from A to Z and I persist : The Bends is shitty. Pablo Honey was great when it was released (a bit old now), and the Bends was such a disappointment. Anyway, as everybody said, SY and R, even if they've often been compared to each other (we heard "radiohead is one of the most SY-influenced band"...), are not evolving in the same musical world. So let's not compare them... again, what was the point?

I love Radiohead as much as Sonic Youth. Regarding the poll DDN is off course far better, but if it was OK Computer instead of the Bends I might be undecided (as DDN and OK Computer both belong to my favorite records ever).

Tastes differ but The Bends is not shitty at all to me (if only for Street spirit).

Do i smell that fucked-up retard, junky, untalented and so on cunt?

SuperCreep · 12.15.2007, 01:49 PM

The Bends has some really incredible, jaw-droppingly great moments, but there's a few bits like Bones, Bullet Proof, Black Star, and Sulk that just don't do anything for me. I find DDN to be gripping from start to finish.

I would take Kid A over DDN, though.

The Bends just about scrapes in as the 3rd best Radiohead album. Massively overrated in my eyes.
As such, i think theres 9 or 10 Sonic Youth albums better than it.

atsonicpark · 12.15.2007, 07:44 PM

fuck radiohead.
