Muse and Radiohead are boring.

As if Metallica is metal.

I don't share that view at all, but I understand Chavi's reasoning. Being a Radiohead fan gives you a high horse automatically, because you are listening to one of the greatest artists of this and the last century.

Metallica has degraded into rock yes, but i'd say their earlier stuff could meet the metal genre. Have you heard black sabbath's early work? Would count as rock (maybe) today.

I don't like radiohead, I heard that song "freak" (or something like that) and thought "this is bollocks."

 It's funny how Metallica fans are reputed to be hardcore metalheads when the music isn't really that heavy.

It's called creep and is a sub par song.

Metallica sold out.

Muse is poor man's Radiohead. Radiohead has some genuinely interesting music, and I don't think anyone could call kid A or amnesiac anything less than awesome.

Convince me otherwise.

It's *actual* music, as opposed to metal which is a series of distorted beats and a few hoarse teenagers raging into a microphone.

This is such a misguided view. Not all metal- in fact a great deal of metal (which is such a broad term) has quite melodic singing: case note: iron maiden, megadeth, metallica even (don't like metallica myself), twisted sister, stratovarius and so on...

Mmhmmm. My favourite metal would be prog-metal bands like Periphery, Dream Theatre, etc. So melodic and musical...quite unlike the stereotypical assumption that metal = screamo.

This thread needs more punx rawk. In other news, I agree; I just never got what the big deal about either band was.

Metallica is basically, the original metal, just because the genre has changed to encompass bands like Whitechapel and Carnifex, doesn't mean Metallica has changed. That said, anything past 1990 by Metallica is trash, rock-crap.

I thought you said "anything past Metallica is trash, rock-crap" and was about to rage. Then I re-read it and realised the error of my ways.

Wasn't Metallica in 1990? Therefore the two are the same?

Lucky! Hahahahaha.

I think you're missing the 'by' bit.

The Eraser is also a great album by Thom, I reckon it's good enough to get placed alongside the radiohead albums

Punk was an excuse for not being able to play your instrument. Case example: Sid Vicious, he was hired for his attitude (which at one point involved beating a guy with a motorcycle chain) rather than his musical talent.

  Someone I know who's a Radiohead tragic is well into a band called Tunng
