For Blur, I’ll concede that they are indeed peerless.

This is how it really should go down..

Mozart – Don’t know enough of his stuff to comment.
The Beatles – Rich, diverse, ground-breaking and vital
Einstein – By all accounts a genius. Still, I don’t believe time travel is possible, but he was clearly pretty clever.
Muhammad Ali – Good boxer, bit of a blowhard. Tyson would have dismembered him of course.
Usain Bolt – Never heard of him.
Black – Black, of course.
Day – Yes, day. Can’t fauly your logic.
Blur – Peerless, timeless, genius.
Radiohead – Shitty

If it ain’t mormanski with The Wire it’s MaverickMcP with Radiohead in a perpetual ‘Good = Popular’ DCGM.

Being a member of The Great British Public ™ you can ask me to name a Radiohead song! OK, I will:

“Life in a Glasshouse”

That was from a later album than OK Computer.

Radiohead, a bit shitty? In other news Maverickmcp thinks

Mozart – Absolute rubbish
The Beatles – Boring
Einstein – Idiot
Muhammad Ali – Can’t punch for toffee
Usain Bolt – Slow coach
Black – White
Day – Night
Blur – Good band

Ask a member of the Great British Public TM to name a Radiohead song and I doubt they will mention any song off any album since OK.

Radiohead are like that programme ‘The Street’. Good in parts and well intentioned, but ultimately a bit shitty.

Then “most people” don’t check out the numero uno albums around the world and didn’t open a paper last year to read the plethora of articles about In Rainbows “revolutionary” pay-wot-u-like publicity campaign.

For me it’d be nice not to hear quite so much when these masters of marketing have a new release.
