Smells like teen spirit called best song of past 25 years

[Sleuth]

He's said a lot more about Radiohead than that

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

yeah but that line about them being students, sums it up pretty darn  well

[Sleuth]

I don't get it

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

I don't get it

liam is a working class guy, and he looks at radiohead as being a bunch of pretenous middle class college students

you could see why "he" would think that, i just dont see him in 1998 anyway being a big radiohead fan, since he hated blur and all they stood for .

now maybe in the past few years he may have become a fan i dunno

the reason i said he in quotes was to show that i was speaking for him and not anyone else you me or anyone else .


my disgust with radiohead has more to do with their fans, its no differnt then johnny rotten walking around london at the height of dark side of the moon mania with a " I hate pink floyd" t shirt

[Sleuth]

Okay

as u've said before.

i feel the same way, especially that other story u told about those phonies pretending they were "down" with pta knowledge by calling Hard Eight "sydney" and all that.

but the truth is almost everything has asshole phony fans, cos there's so many fake ass bitches around anyway u just can't avoid them. those ppl are worse than ppl who don't know shit about movies and are honest about it.

pubrick i know your a fan, and i almost said something to that  effect in my post about how a lot of people i respect like the band so they cant be as bad as i have made them out to  be

i have all but quit using them as a scapegoat for that reason

its like this i love magnolia and lots of people hate it for the same reason i hate radiohead

its not so much schtick as you put it, as its human nature, i just ran into so many people who i hate that are fans of this group that it has clouded my judgement

but on the other hand i have met other people who i respect a great deal and they are fans so ya know :: shuruggs::

but to adress the schtick facter, ok check this out i love teddy pendergrass but if i were to go to the zoo and accidetlly find myself getting raped by a horny hoped uped  gorila while teddy pendergrass music played over the loud speakers, i may find myself having a hard time enjoying his music in the future .

see human nature at its finest , and no im not single i have a hot girlfriend who thinks my nuttyness is cute, im a aquired taste really

I agree with VH1's conclusion, namely because I can't think of a better replacement for the most influential ass kicking song from the past 25 years.

Wonderwall.

No matter what you think of Oasis, you gotta admit it's a great song.

Fuck man, Wonderwall is great.  Not their best in my opinion, but great.  I mean, Oasis kicks ass.  Much of their music is very similiar to and influential in Radiohead music (of course there is the whole English thing).  But excellent, excellent band.  I also love Don't Look Back In Anger, that's my fav. Oasis song.  

somebody asked liam back in 98 what he thought of radiohead

and he said " i dunno they look like a bunch of fuckin students" pretty much says it all

This may be true, but it doesn't mean there aren't heavy influences.  Furthermore, you must consider that the brothers are quite inflamatory.

Missing Smashing Pumpkins, Elvis Costello, Weezer, The Smiths...and many, many, many, others.

OH AND...Not a single song on that list, from the 80s pop scene, deserves to be on there. Same with *any* songs on that list from the last 3 years (well, Norah Jones is good, but top 100 good?).

Gallagher brothers are such good quotes. Upon arriving at an American music festival a few years ago, Liam was asked "What do you thinkof the other bands playing here?" To which he answered "rubbish, all of 'em". The reporter: "Pearl Jam?", Liam: "... rubbish".

Classic.

Noel has had some great ones too, not the least of which was wishing Aids on Damon and Alex from Blur, and saying that members of the British Government were heroin addicts.

* I realize this probably will offend someone here, but c'mon, these are much more entertaining than normal bullshit interviews. It's pretty fucking funny.*

[NEON MERCURY]

UMMMMMM...vh1 ever heard STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN--i know it is played out but when i think of the" all-time greatest song", nirvana is the last thing to come to my mind

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

noel said that eddie vedder reminds him of a janitor, so fucking true that i cant stop laughing hwen i think about it

[Jeremy Blackman]

UMMMMMM...vh1 ever heard STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN--i know it is played out but when i think of the" all-time greatest song", nirvana is the last thing to come to my mind

I think it was released before 1978.

Well said man.  "Smells Like..." is not the song I'd call the best in the past 25 years....that's just ridiculous.  I think the implications that the song caused on the music scene were quite powerful (knocked the King of Pop on his ass) and warrant a somewhat grandiose title....
