I was just trying to parse your response and I'm still coming up short. He said "I vote for what I like" and you said "that's the reason it's a better album". Is it you simply stating that because you (Dalen) have noted for what you like (OKC), that it (OKC) is a better album?

is "indie cred" a sniglet for the crust around your eye when you wake up in the morning?

This is bullshit D. How can stating a preference be wrong or even the hipster thing to do?

I voted for Echo. I loved OK Computer for a period and still think that, yes, it in fact had a big role in shaping rock music for a time. That said, I could go 10 years without hearing it again. "No Surprises" makes me cringe at this point. I just don't feel the same about it anymore.

Whereas I was a relative late comer to Echo and I still listen to Ocean Rain every now and then and dig it.

Sniglet. Nice.

I'll take your word for it. I don't really concern myself with the hipster mentality. I'm just defending my choice to pick the album I enjoy listening to, without having to consider what others think. I'm sure you'll be happy to see Radiohead win this in a landslide. Won't bother me in the least.

I certainly can remember when OKC came out how critics loved it and all proclaimed it revolutionary. Its tempting for that reason to without thinking about it accept the idea that it was influential. Now obviously, I'm biased because I don't like it but who or what has it influenced? I really couldn't answer that.

"How can it be bullshit to state a preference?!"

i would've had a harder time if this was the bends instead of OKC.

Radiohead, when they were still good.

by default, Echo

Ocean Rain

More like Gaycho and Buttymen. Way to fucking fail at life, Derris.

Radiohead and its not even close.

OHG DEY NOCK AGS CINGEMAGICK AG OHGK COMPUKGHER. Voting against Radiohead is Life Fail? Good thing you have a kid on the way. Your better days are long gone.

Voting FOR The Bunnymen is life fail. Pure LOMIT.

ocean rain easily

well, I like Ocean Rain and Echo, but OKC was HUGE for me when I was growing up...bought the tab book and used to play along with the album several times a day to practice. I don't cum everytime I hear it anymore, but when I do I'm reminded of why I liked it so much.

this is kind of a silly statement

maybe you're right, i was drunk.

i'm just sayin, people like what they like. there's no way i'd ever put this echo album over OKC, but thats just me.

DIFFERING OPINIONS

you have inspired me to make a bloody mary, however, so there's that
