who's better musically?

[IceAge/HeatWave]

radiohead or circa survive.

i think it is clearly radiohead, but a friend of mine said circa makes more complicated songs that "make a bigger immediate impact than radiohead". who do you think makes better music?


i do not want people to misconstrue this an a "which band do you like more". in the blink v. radiohead poll, people were saying "well, i know radiohead is better, but i LOOVE blink." which band do you think is objectively better?

[threepunchjim]

Radiohead blows Circa out of the damn universe. Vocals, musicianship, lyrics, everything. There's no contest at all.

hahaha your friend...

if by "immediate impact" he means that they're generally more pop sensible... then maybe. but circa survive doesnt even exist outside of the pop-punk scene right now. they dont make a bigger impact in any sense of the word. they are also nowhere near as innovative. however, its okay to prefer them.

i hope you don't take this is an alias for my true feelings haha all of my polls come from discussions and debates with friends. radiohead is my all time favorite band, with kid a as my all time favorite album.

if that is not the context in which that was typed, disregard my quote.

haha you dont have to worry man, i aint judgin you based on the... interesting views of your friends

[Formatfun]

I don't like Radiohead, except for "Creep".

Circa.

[liveloud4life]

A better question might be, How little do you have to know about music for every single thing Radiohead does to go completely over your head?

[briewer]

Fucking DUH.

[drawndead]

idk how they can be compared?

[Yontsey]

no contest. radiohead.

[lesto17]

Seriously? Radiohead, no question.

Edit: After actually reading the whole first post this makes more sense.

[michattack]

Blasphemy!!

[lonelysuperstar]

how have 21 people voted for circa? can we round these people up and kill them? they don't deserve to live.

[Broken Parachute]

What? Radiohead. Is this even a question? Really?

[Theseventhson]

Obvious answer is obvious.

[Smeee]

I love Circa but definitely Radiohead.

[briewer]

So there are at least 24 idiots in these forums.

[BulleTheory]

really?

[PepperminCherry]

I have the same view on a someone on the first page, I don't like Radiohead except for creep and that gets irritating after a while. I'm not calling Radiohead bad since apparently they must be doing something right, everyone fricken loves them. To answer the main point of this poll, I'll agree Radiohead, just because they're much much bigger than Circa, but as far as preference goes, Cicra wins for me.

[lindZ629]

I don't even like Radiohead that much, but this is truly a no-brainer.

Same here.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

Fucking DUH.

So well put. I actually laughed when i saw this poll.

[BozzBlonde]

Radiohead, definitely.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

i am directing this poll towards my friend and declaring my unquestionable domination over his material positions.

[suppyguppy]

is this a joke?

[Clark]

48 morons and counting.

And, although I love Circa Survive, if the poll was on which band you prefer, it would still be Radiohead.

[voncorn]

I don't like Radiohead, except for "Creep".

Circa.

Holy lol

[Formatfun]

Holy lol
Glad I could make you laugh.

And I only like it 'cause Amanda Palmer covers it, and she does so beautifully. Radiohead blows.

[voncorn]

I simply don't understand how you can jump to the conclusion that "Radiohead blows". It's obvious to me that you haven't given them a proper chance, especially if you think that Creep is their best song.

[Formatfun]

I know. You're right. I haven't.
EDIT: But what's wrong with settling with the mentality that anything I haven't heard "blows"?
EDIT TWO: That must mean anything I have heard sucks. Wtf.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

I don't like Radiohead, except for "Creep".

Circa.That was not the point of the poll.

[Formatfun]

That was not the point of the poll.
I know. Does my vote matter anyway? CS is losing by a lot.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

I know. Does my vote matter anyway? CS is losing by a lot.The score should anything to zero for Radiohead. I can't believe some people think Circa Survive is more innovative. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but it's fucking Radiohead we're talking about here.

[TangledUp]

Radiohead blows Circa out of the damn universe. Vocals, musicianship, lyrics, everything. There's no contest at all.
This.

[xJesusFreakx]

Hilarious. I'm disappointed that Ryan didn't completely lay waste to this thread.

[socoxshelby]

The fact that Circa has 73 votes is surprising. I mean they're good and all, but Radiohead just blows them out the the water.

[xjulianx89]

Only on AP would you find results like these.

[HometownHero]

I actually laughed when reading this. 75 people are fucking stupid

[Colin1755]

is this a joke, circa forever bitches.

[Theseventhson]

is this a joke, circa forever bitches.
Lol.

[the daniel]

Cirus Survival, no questions asked. No really.

[about3fitty]

radiohead = boring

[Machu505]

Circa Survive sucks.

[FullCollaspe]

85 people do not get what this poll is about

[BulleTheory]

wow @ the results of this poll.

[CaryJS]

I have to go with Circa. I have listened to alot of Radiohead but it just doesn't do anything for me.

if you think circa is the better band, musically, creatively, technically, and in terms of influence, then thats fine.

but if not, you entirely missed the point.

[apsterling]

I haven't given most of Radiohead's stuff a proper listen, but In Rainbows just didn't have a terrible amount of lasting value to me, it just felt like some of the songs were repeating what I'd heard earlier on the disc. Maybe it's just that record, but I had a difficult time discerning song from song, unless a giant shift happened, and aside from great use of dynamics, I didn't hear anything that really popped out as super creative and musically innovative on that record. Maybe someone can point me the direction of why everyone has a huge boner for Radiohead- not criticizing at all, because clearly there's a great amount of talent in those guys. I just don't understand why everyone feels that they're so vastly superior to everything else.

[froston]

This is actually a poll measuring the percentage of idiots on this site. 38%..at least its a minority...

[Tim Lincecum]

i just dont like radiohead

[Mattfav]

i cant believe this is even a question, but im even more in shock that the poll is this close. jesus christ.

[Feenucks]

Radiohead blows Circa out of the damn universe. Vocals, musicianship, lyrics, everything. There's no contest at all.

This and this.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

i just dont like radiohead


in my original post in the thread, the OP, says it isn't about if you like them better. it's about who do you think is the better band, in terms of talent, creativity, influence and production.

example. i hate rush. i love foo fighters. but do i think foo fighters are better by any of those merits? no. not even close.

[derekmoyer4]

circa survive. not a big fan of radiohead.

[supersteve7889]

radiohead wins this, but i do not think they are better musically then every other band in existence.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

circa survive. not a big fan of radiohead.

not the question.

[swt_catastrophe]

I love Circa Survive, but Radiohead is a clear winner.

[barkingincision]

pretty stupid question.
i mean i like circa survive more in terms of overall sound, vocals, etc....

but radiohead is downright brilliant.

and its obvious that little 13 yr old untrained sceneys will get thee votes to circa

[Poe-tryGirl]

I prefer Circa Survive.

[abcdefghijake]

radiohead or circa survive.

i think it is clearly radiohead, but a friend of mine said circa makes more complicated songs that "make a bigger immediate impact than radiohead". who do you think makes better music?

This doesn't even deserve to be a poll.

[drawndead]

i dont even understand how they are in the same poll.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

I prefer Circa Survive.

not the question.

[LastDeclaration]

I can understand how some people dislike Radiohead, but if you actually read the question, there's no question that Radiohead wins. Hands down.

[oh josh]

dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb:piano: :piano: :rotfl:

[yellowhouse]

I don't like Radiohead, except for "Creep".

Circa.

Fail.

[mpw]

Really?

Radiohead. Easily.

[Curtis&BemisRok]

circa is pretty musically sweet and has accomplished alot in my opinion, but radiohead reigns king. I guess some can see them as a heavier version of radiohead in some circumstances, but I always saw it as Circa modeling themselves around Thom Yorke and his pals

[Formatfun]

Fail.
I don't care.

[bard]

pretty stupid question.

reading these two posts right after another made me lol

[yellowhouse]

I don't care.

Haha, can't do anything about that. Good for you, man. Stick to your guns.

[Circacept]

i listened to on letting go for like three months straight when it came out. And ive yet to find any band that is similar to them musically. And my favorite vocalist is Anthony. So circa has my vote.

[introduction]

this is stupid.

[gnp8472]

a friend of mine said circa makes more complicated songs that "make a bigger immediate impact than radiohead".

this friend is a colossal idiot. quite possibly one of the stupidest things i've ever heard. there is no definition of Impact in which Radiohead does not beat Circa Survive over the head with a brick. your friend should be ashamed of himself

[IceAge/HeatWave]

i directed this poll to him and he is not understanding the numbers. time to get him kid a STAT.

[Tristan Needler]

Radiohead, even though I'm not a big fan, and I'm not incredibly familiar with Circa Survive. It doesn't take a lot of listening to tell who is better though.

[princesschad]

lol

listen again. that record has more dynamics in one song than most artists have in one album.

[Rob Hrx]

This is a pointless question. I absolutely love Circa, and I'd like to think I'm not a music snob. But the band that wrote Kid A simply cannot be compared to them. Let's see what they do next and take it from there. But I have a feeling they'll remain a treasured band of this scene and not much more.
