the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

He lacks a degree or two of popularity.

Like you said somewhere else, you haven't been tracking the pop world lately. Radiohead is huge.

I haven't been listening that much, but I know of Radiohead as an indie band that achieved popularity.  But they only had like one song to ever reach #1 on the billboards right?  And I was still listening to music at the time.  And they never achieved that again did they?  You're comparing them to singers that can put several songs on the same album on the top ten.  That's a staggering difference!

Yeah, so why isn't Billy Joel an option in the poll, hmm, Dave?  8)

Yeah, the Piano Man is one of my favorites, and he should be on the poll.  I'll lose even more street cred by saying that when I was a kid I had all of his albums and listened to them constantly.

Fortunately this forum's median age is too high to see Radiohead win. Which is a good thing, every time Radiohead have something good happen to them, god kills a kitten...
