    That's a real intelligent statement. I don't like Radiohead so I guess I should never get married and have kids. Moron.

    world needs plenty of bartenders. maybe you should have a go at it.

    I don't want to get involved in the Radiohead vs. Pearl Jam debate here but I just want to say that I really can't understand how people can not like Radiohead.

    They are my 2 favorite bands of all time, but I can see how someone could not like either one of them. Everyone has different tastes. Just because I think they are great doesn't mean they appeal to everyone.

    Radiohead equals a snoozer of a show.....wouldn't go with a free ticket. Like some songs/albums.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    I disagree. I had a wicked time. For anyone who ever gets the opportunity, I recommend trying for GA (pit) tickets, and waiting at the venue early to get in. I did this and ended up at the barrier, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

    How wrong you are. I had a wicked time. For anyone who ever gets the opportunity, I recommend trying for GA (pit) tickets, and waiting at the venue early to get in. I did this and ended up at the barrier, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

    An opinion can't be wrong unless it conflicts with the facts and guess what saying Radiohead is awesome live is not a fact its an opinion.

    Fair enough! I'll change my wording.

    Radiohead is an amazing band! I'm dying to go see them live again.

    I love Pearl Jam much more, but Radiohead is great.

    Did Radiohead announce an American tour????

    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    +1. Definitely the best way to see any band anyway, but being able to see them up close (and watch Thoms dancing) is brilliant. The noise they make together is incredible. I love that they also mix up their sets a fair bit.

    guys. You have to admit when your favorite band isn't the most talented. Radiohead is far more talented than Pearl Jam. That's not to say I don't like Pearl Jam, I do, they are my favorite band. But I don't see them as innovative or groundbreaking in any way. They play well as a band, but nothing they do makes me think I could never do it. Radiohead is different. I mean Radiohead has sold out every show in the US for the past 7 years, Pearl Jam can't say that. The people have spoken

    My favorite golfer is Ratief Goosen. I know Tiger is better and more talented, but he isn't my favorite. I'm not going to sit and say Ratief is better than Tiger, that would be crazy



    and this isn't just about them leaving out every city in the midwest not named Chicago- it's a mixute of things they do now like signing deals with Verizon and Target, and charging their fans $80 to see them.

    I agree with you and this post 100%. PJ is my favorite band, but Radiohead - you really never know what you're gonna get with a new Radiohead album. PJ live is #1, though, for sure.

    I find people saying Radiohead is more talented than Pearl Jam completely misguided. Radiohead is great, very original sounding and talented, but not more so than Pearl Jam. They just do different things and draw on different influences. In my opinion, as great as some of their albums are, Radiohead has a more narrow range than Pearl Jam. They certainly have changed at various points, but they always go for a singular vision, always a modern, futuristic sound. Pearl Jam has a lot more range and willingness to try different styles: they are equally at home doing a hard rocking raging song like Blood or Go, as they are doing a 50s style ballad (Come Back) or whatever, updating classic rock sounds, putting their own spin on punk rock, taking cues from Neil Young, writing a flat out great pop song like Betterman. I could go on and on. A lot of people liked the whole, Kid A, Amnesiac whatever era of Radiohead, personally, I thought those records were clunkers. Pearl Jam's weakest records still have some good songs, Radiohead's weakest amounts to a bunch of beeps, moans and monotone whining. Thom Yorke's voice can only be described as an "acquired taste," while Eddie has a flat out amazing voice, even if it is an unschooled "rock" voice. Furthermore, Pearl Jam's musicianship is excellent as a whole, and while stylistically vastly different from Radiohead, they are, at the very least, peers.

    I prefer Pearl Jam. While Radiohead is also a great band, and STRONGLY denounce statements that Radiohead is in anyway better. PJ is just as good, if not better, because they have a more complete vision and sound, and a more complete depiction of the human condition within their music.

    Radiohead are very talented, but they need to come down off their high horse and so do their fans. I love Radiohead, but their fans constantly talking about how great they are and Thom & the boys taking themselves way to seriously really pisses me off sometimes.

    Nuff said! This should sum up this pointless debate.

    p.s. Thom Yorke is still a whiney little pussy!

    Different and Talented are not mutually exclusive.

    Arguments about the best band in the world are pointless, and are entirely based on opinion. Take a poll on the PJ website and PJ would win, take a poll on the Radiohead website and Radiohead wins.

    Some people would say that both bands suck.

    Opinions are like cat buttholes. The look like balloon knots.

    To respond to the title, I believe that this summer they are only playing a handful of European festivals. Hopefully back to the studio after that. No big tour that I am aware of.

    What's stupid about that? I did the reverse in 2006 and had a blast.
    that show was worth a trip from anywhere on the planet!
