Channel 4 top 100 albums

[Disco Bob]

Radiowhonow?

 

[Hazzman]

Eh, this list was voted for by people who went on channel 4 website, seeing as channel 4 is often seen as thew student and teenager channel and the internet is used a lot more by males around that age, the votes are going to be skewed to that sector of the population, and seeing as Radiohead is about the most stereotypical middle-class student band out there... Well, you see where i'm goin'

I don't know many student teenagers from the middle-classes who are interested in buying property abroad, buying property, developing property, cooking dinner for kids, making grand designs or getting stuff together off a shitheap to make something looking like car.

The days of Channel 4 being a student/teenager channel went in 1990.
Public Enemy got to No.50, with the demographic you mention they'd probably been placed no.345.

It's a load of horseshit these lists

Fair enough. I don't even remember writing that post, i was drunk at the time, i always seem to write angry, pointless posts then :icon_conf But, whatever, i do think these 100 Greatest programmes are a load of crap and just represent popularity rather than how good anything in particular is

Your point is proven by the fact that 'OK Compter' was voted #1

I was going to agree with what Dunc put but it vanished.

But If Bob Marley had been voted No.1 then someone may well have come on here saying why was that shite voted Number 1.

It's the Tories fault that Care in the Community gave those type of people access to computers.

Music tastes vary from person to person, so these lists are shite really. I will not be told what to listen to because a few spotty nosed twats say so. I listen to what I like and I also respect other peoples tastes are whithout putting them down. Who is to say which band / music is better than others.
I am still amazed at how the beatles came to be as big as they were, IMO they were utter shite but others loved them

But you don't have to like or dislike a particular album to grasp whether it deserves to be picked as number 1.

The fact that I think Radiohead is just a pretentious dirge is largely irrelevant.
Even if you love a dose of their angst driven playacting, it'd be hard to argue that it's the best album of all time.

Its not angst driven:icon_lol::icon_lol: I wouldn't say it was the best album of all time.

Agreed, the Take That of the sixties.

I'm not putting anybody down for liking Radiohead btw, whatever floats your boat then fair f*cks to ya.
The original post was just me being belligerent when I was drunk, but my point still stands up...I think.

a lot of this type of music is driven by the pied piper, and people follow like sheep. Well if their mate likes it, it must be good type of thing.

Genesis were another band that was shite but was the thing to listen to. Utter crap they were.

take that of the 60s-**** off. yes they started out as a boy band effectively but what they did with sound recording techniques, concept albums and the some of the instruments they used were revolutionary for popular music-you may not like them but you can't deny the contribution they have made to what music is today.

 

[MHS]

The Beatles were wank.

Ringo Starr was a legend however, because he narrated Thomas The Tank Engine.

They didn't do any of that in the 60's though dd.

They were a mass marketed boy band in the 60's & then proceeded to climb up inside their arses after that.

wtf? I'd say from 1965 onwards they started experimented with sounds and music. They may have started out as a boyband in the early 60's and they may not have been as boundary brnding as the Velvet Underground or Captain Beefheart, but they still did some really reveloutionary stufd in the mid to late 60's certiantly became a more arty and pretentious band than any mass-marketed band, whether you think that is for the better or worse.

I'd have to agree with DD on this one, and it was definitely all done inside the 1960's since they broke up in 68 or 69, i can't remember which

You could be right, I thought it was a bit later than that but it isn't really relevant to the point that they were an average boy band who went on to climb up their own arses.

Paul McCartney has climbed so far up his arse that he actually turned completely inside out.

 

[drummindefender]

beatles broke up officially in 1970, though Lennon walked out in 1969 which was effectively the end.

Although in climbing up their own arses, they became one of the mainstream artists to actually push the boundaries and try new things, something which should applauded IMO and usually mainstream artists are just out to sell records and not to actually create something different and arty. That's another reason i like Radiohead, along with the Beatles they are one of the few mainstream artists to achieve this
