Originally posted by Abnormal Freak I'll kill you for that Muse are their own band. Comparing bands is one thing, but saying that is short sighted.Muse are figureheads for British rock music. They were cruely neglected with the rise of The Darkness. I also strongly agree with Elmo's opinion on Thom Yorke |

| That's a load of nonsense, besides, who the hell would want to be Radiohead? It's a crude insult to say that about a band. Being an artist is about making music, not about copying people. If they wanted to do that, you'd find them on Pop-Idol. If you believe that Muse are in the game to be Radiohead, then I think you are sorely mistaken that Radiohead is a band that is worth copying. It is clear that Muse might have been influenced by Radiohead, but there are people who liken them to deities, and that everyone else is just a follower. This perception is misguided and extremely subjective. Muse have likely been inspired by a broad range of people, and "wannabe" comparisons are often drawn by people who have not taken the time to appreciate the music in question and lack the knowledge to make a convincing arguement. |

| It'd be an insult to great music not to vote Manics. Tenacious D is a good band, and entertaining, but they don't have nearly as many achievements as the Manics. I defy you to go buy Generation Terrorists and the Holy Bible today! |

| Your example of Trent Reznor copying other bands is a little different to your belief that Muse are out there to copy just one band. In essence, you proved me right that artists are influenced by a range of artists, and not just one I do not have a negative opinion on Radiohead. I simply have a negative opinion on the Radiohead fans that I have seen so far. True, they do not represent Radiohead fans as a whole, but I have witnessed the majority of the Radiohead fans that I have seen lack the ability to let the arguement lie when someone challenges Radiohead. Do you realise that when you say "Radiohead are clearly better" you can only call judgement in your own context? You aren't in a position to try to convince me that Radiohead are better than Muse. If you try telling me to adopt your music tastes over my own, you're quite mistaken. I am very proud of my music taste, and it is based soley on the music, as any taste should be and not on following others like a blind sheep. Now, I admit that there are some thing that I will not stand for, and I will get visibly irate about. One of those things is someone attempting to destroy the credibility of a band I care very deeply about. "Muse is clearly a Radiohead rip-off band." This is what I'm talking about. That statement is trying to say the Muse's achievments are only as big as they are thanks to Radiohead. Do you think they would have become as big as they are today if they'd just followed the Radiohead formula? Their success is based on their evolution of their sound. They've continually done new things with each subsequent album, and it has convinced the music press, the fans, and even people who didn't know Muse before Origin of Symetry. I'm not knocking Radiohead at all. I'm simply requesting that you consider respecing Muse in their own right. Appreciate the music without continually comparing it to other band's music.

The Olympic Games return to Athens |
I've been looking forward to this ever since Greece applied to host the games. I have family in Greece, and no doubt they'll be going to see some of the events...I'm not sure about the facilities yet... The Greeks kinda like to lay about and have cigarrettes all day I'm sure they'll pull it together at the last moment, they always do Hmmm... Back on topic, our Olympic team is considered to be rubish this year... A few of our top atheletes are out due to injury right now, and many of the main event trials are now closed. We've been given the target of five gold medals, and 25 medals in total. Shame that Curling isn't a summer sport, really...

My point was what's the use in totally disconnecting yourself just because you can't get to your Broadband connection? |
Dialup still lets you do 90% of most of the things you can do with broadband anyway. The 10% being downloading and uploading

When I was back in school, I had at least two or three essays to write over each break |
You've got plenty of time to do it, so quit complaining Besides, once you start work, you won't get a summer break Oh, the horror!

This thread is your chance to talk about small or unsigned bands that you think other people would like to hear about. Post links to websites, and recommend songs to download. |
Machinae Supremacy: Machinae are a band from Sweden that became famous with their covers of Commodore 64 classic tracks. Since then, they've released highly original content on their website, and an album, Deus Ex Machinae, on internet order. The first thing you'll notice about Machinae Supremacy is the unstoppable guitar lines driving the music on, and their signature SID Station (based on the C64's famous SID music chip). Some people may have heared of Machinae after on of their most famous covers, The Great Gianna Sisters, was used as the basis for a Stepmania track. You should look into Machinae Supremacy if you have been into gaming for a long time, or are into classic/retro gaming. Not only for the famillar chimes of the SID station, but for the gaming themes that are present in many of their songs. You can download many of their tracks from free from www.machinaesupremacy.com (temporarily down at time of posting... I'll keep you updated) Recommended tracks: SIDStyler: Cover of the famous Bomfunk MCs song, Freestyler Great Gianna Sisters: Cover of the notorious game's theme SIDology Episode Three: Apex Ultima: A medly of famous C64 covers, including Bubble Bobble Cryosleep: A personal Favorite Attack Music: Futurama fans, spot the sample Arcade: A track for anyone who's ever spent far too much money playing arcade games.

Abnormal Freak: That wasn't flaring up... That was mildly irritated |
To be honest, I'm not an expert on Radiohead. When you see me flaring up like that, it's only in defence. There were also some digs in there too towards Radiohead fans, which you won't see often on this board

I plead people not to vote to even up the vote... Just vote for the band you appreciate the most |
I am positive that if people listened to a few Manics tracks, they'll vote for 'em

Broadband is any fast connection internet. In this country we have both DSL and cable. They're roughly the same quality, but cable offers a slight edge due to the lower contention ratios. My cable line to the server is approximately shared with half as many people to that on the DSL lines. |
Also, the main broadband provider, and the main telecoms giant in the UK, has just slapped a 1gb/month download cap on all it's services. That's just absurd

The modern curry originates from England, where the first curry powder was manufactured and sold after a revolution in cooking, prompted by spices being imported from places in the British Empire such as India. |
Along with fish and chips, the curry has been voted the national dish of Great Britain.

Your vote matters because it should rightfully go to the band you appreciate the most. The Manics are one of the most influential and important bands in modern rock music history. |
If people had voted for the band they actually said they prefer, rather than "evening up the vote", then we would've had a fair vote, and the Manics would have won. Your vote is for you to use sensibly, and it's been abused. The result isn't accurate, and I hope that something can be done to correct this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
