In defense of Radiohead, except for one or two songs they never sang about being robots. MAYBE that could be interesting if it's the '40's and you're down with the modernism avant garde or something. Otherwise robots are our bitches, nobody cares what they have to say. But anyway I voted Kraftwerk.

Voted Radiohead because of "OK Computer". If I am trying to be "objective" and look for who has the biggest impact on music, it would be Kraftwerk though.

I dont know how to break this to you, but if these two bands were personified in the real world Kraftwerk would suck Radiohead's cock for cab fare.

Ha!
While I'm sure more of it is hatred toward the idea of radiohead than anything to do with their music, I don't get the animosity towards Radiohead from here, hence the idea that ILM would have a sweeping vote for Radiohead over Kraftwerk is laughable. They're not Kraftwerk, though, that can be said,
― mehlt, Tuesday, 10 February 2009 00:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I like them both a lot. I don't know who I would ever vote over Kraftwerk, though. (not even Can!)
― I shall always respect my elders (Z S), Tuesday, 10 February 2009 00:18 (fifteen years ago) link
I really really like Radiohead a lot. But Kraftwerk seem like maybe on of a handful of the really important artists of the 20th century, up there with Chuck Berry, Miles, James Brown, etc.

there are times when i have listened to radiohead more than kraftwerk and vice versa. but even if i listened to radiohead 10 times more, would that necessarily negate the opinion?
― Yah Trick Ya Kid K (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 10 February 2009 00:26 (fifteen years ago) link
I am voting on who I would rather listen to. only music crits care about "influence" and "importance".
xpost and yeah, # of times listened is probably the best gauge available. anything else is just frontin' imo.

i dunno. for me i have a whole bunch of stuff on vinyl and/or CDs i haven't ripped to my computer at work, so i tend to just sort of listen to whatever recent stuff i have ripped more times than stuff i actually like a lot better.

They've sometimes got a childlike quality about them. Which you certainly could not say about Radiohead!

I think Radiohead is plenty childlike but more like the stuff of children's nightmares. thom yorke's doom and gloom (especially around kid a and amnesiac) always felt a bit like a ten-year-old confronting the idea of death for the first time.

I would imagine this totally comes down to when and what you hear. My first Kraftwerk exposure was "Trans-Europe Express" in my mid-teens and I certainly got THAT right away, but I'm not sure I would have picked up on, say, "The Looking Glass" the same way.
