The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

I must be totally on my own here (besides being the only dipper in the village) in thinking that they were both bollocks...and not in the dogs good way.
But for the simple fact that I think Rainbow weren't taking themselves totally seriously..I'm gonna go for Rainbow
 
Seriously what do people HEAR in these moaning hookless sallow pinheads? How can anyone with a good heart and a steady job possibly cotton to Thom Yorke’s insufferable whin(g)ing yowl? What the fuck kind of “invention” is in a song with a minor chord change from “Wish You Here” and the worst fucking chord to change at that? What moral people drown themselves and their music in demonstrably fake angst to fleece notoriously hormone-soaked depressed teenagers while they trundle off with millions and live happily ever after?

Fuck these guys. Go Rainbow.
 
There's going to end up being a rage against the machine vote in this thread at some point if Radiohead can knock out Rainbow. ;)

If it was that easy you'd be doing it.

Oh yes you would.

It’s because of bizarre opinions like this that I am glad to have withdrawn from the album thread. I am so out of kilter with these views. How anyone can prefer the yowling, infantile song by Rainbow to the profundity of Radiohead escapes me.
I blame plastics and forever chemicals in the water myself.

Can't argue with your comment re the wizarding and warlocking of the rainbow song (though I'm told there is an element about the human condition in it) but is Fake Plastic Trees profound really?? I think even Yorke has said it was just a bit of stream of consciousness that amused him.

I think this is the challenge with Radiohead, they have been lionised so much by critics that it makes people warey and dare I say cynical about them. They're not the only band to fall into this category but there's an intellectualsing and hyperbole about them that you can argue is out of kilter with their output and it has become a sort of orthodoxy. Are they sonic pioneers that have pushed and blurred the boundaries or smart lads who have cynically exploited a winning formula. You can argue both cases.
