the entire radiohead catalog v. surfin bird

Yeah but "Surfin Bird" would win against pretty much EVERY band's complete catalog. So this poll is meaningless.

like seriously...

the complete beatles vs. surfin bird
the complete t.rex vs. surfin bird
the complete velvet underground vs surfin bird
etc
etc
etc

c'mon, surfin' bird

ILM is so consistently mystifying.

someone doesn't know what the word is

how often does whiney hear surfin bird in public?

i refuse to vote

if you refuse to vote, radiohead wins

i already explained myself

I've already made my feelings about Radiohead known today.

SURFIN BIRD, DUH!

The only song that's better than "Surfin Bird" is like "Walk Don't Run" or "I Only Have Eyes For You" so obviously..

Is this a test to see if people are retarded?

billstevejim gets it

obv the definitive version btw

there is no song better than surfin bird

Didn't we have a thread about this recently? I am having deja vu.

i am pretty sure i have started multiple threads about surfin bird

it was once my intention to start a peoples temple style cult around it but then i got lazy

uh, at 0:44

'i'll be around' is better than 'surfin bird' but that's not by radiohead iirc

man Surfin Bird without a second thought. Never liked Radiohead in the slightest (and that's not frontin either, I like plenty of uber popular bands, like U2)

Radiohead is the best band of our generation, Surfin' Bird sux, y'all are playin yourselves.

'Radiohead is the best band of our generation'

no way, that would be Wilco

it was once my intention to start a peoples temple style cult around it but then i got lazy

how does it feel to be one-upped by family guy

Surfin' Bird is great, but way too long. Unlike Radiohead's catalog, which is great, but way too l... WAIT A MINUTE - why is there no draw option in the poll?

I need to hear Pee-Wee Herman perform the entire Radiohead catalog before I can vote.

There was a time when "Surfin' Bird" was a hit. I want to live in that time.

srs music is srs guys think about our generation

surfin bird is great and all but it's no faust arp

thank gawd

3 Trashmen Surfin' Bird Dec 2010

I love "Surfin' Bird" but there are a half dozen Radiohead songs that I love just as much, and a half dozen is a larger number than one.

puff puff is aming some good points here..

making, hate my keyboard.

i like radiohead but they're no "surfin' bird" thats for sure

Radiohead is the best band of our generation

thankfully we do not actually share a generation.

Whether or not one loves "Surfin' Bird" - and who doesn't? - certainly one of the biggest problems with Radiohead is that they have likely never played and definitely never will cover "Surfin' Bird." Betcha can't say that about R.E.M. ...

bam

anyway, i kind of dislike garage rock, so radiohead!

the 'Exit Music' bit in Father Ted >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the 'Surfin Bird' ep of Family Guy

I mean I'm not gonna vote or anything but if I did that would definitely get taken into account

shit's boring, put some pussy galore on

vs.

Voted Radiohead. Maybe "Surfin Bird" vs King of Limbs would be a fairer fight.

In Rainbows is really good, you know.

Maybe, but it's not as good as Surfin' Bird.

thankfully we do not actually share a generation.

"96 Tears" instead of "Surfin' Bird" would have been a tougher choice.

I Love Music Best Song On Radiohead's "In Rainbows" THE POLL
SURFIN BIRD POLL

there are few catalogs wouldn't sacrifice at the altar of "surfin bird"

I mean, come on, I like Radiohead fine, but it's still "Surfin' Bird." And the Trashmen never erased the internet.

Radiohead is awesome. But, c'mon: Surfin' Bird.

Did Radiohead ever cover 'Surfin' Bird'? Seems in their wheelhouse.

I had to spend a few weeks last summer with an obnoxious young Family Guy fan who couldn't stop playing Surfin Bird, and I think that might be making me slide towards choosing Radiohead.

nightmare scenario

This sounds...about as expected

man that video of 'surfin bird' synced up to radiohead footage was beautiful, and strangely under-discussed

Surfin Bird

i walked by the studio where surfin bird was recorded before dinner tonight

why do people on ilx hate radiohead again?

Never really heard them but the warning sign is people writing about it. People only write about things that are bad further exacerbating inherent anxiety.

When a record is good "yes mates" is all that can be said, or some convivial variant.

The Surfing Bird record is more efficient, it means someone nearby is preparing to fill you in. Once the blows start raining down the soundtrack changes to one of the Radiohead records. You have to keep your wits about you if you hear any of this music or something that sounds like it might be this music.

there's a local car commercial that is a parody of Surfin' Bird.

are there any car commercial parodies of radiohead? i'm not sure how it would tilt things but it seems like important background info

only bad thing itt is ppl saying "radiohead is" instead of "radiohead are"

I was in a Morrisons in Portsmouth recently at 7am, wandering the aisles aimlessly, and “Karma Police” came on the store’s radio. I suddenly understood ILM.
