TOP 40 BANDS IN BRITAIN TODAY

Posted on October 7th, 2003.

Radiohead were voted best band in the world today by the readers of Q, but the Guardian has made a list of the Top 40 Bands in Britain. Radiohead ended up at number 2, just after the Libertines. Here’s what they had to say: “The sight of 100,000 people twitching wildly to Idioteque at Glastonbury this year was testament to how far Radiohead have come. After OK Computer launched a wave of hyperbole big enough to drown them, the relatively obtuse Kid A seemed like a retreat to higher ground - but it only increased its creators’ mystique. Radiohead have become emblematic of all that a world-class rock band can be, balancing success with integrity, size with intimacy, and always finding a way to escape the long shadow of their prior achievements. Helmed by Thom Yorke, the quintessential anti-star, they become more unique and valuable with each passing year. Sound:19, Songs:17, Gigs:20
Style:13, Attitude:19, Total: 88″ [thanks monkey chops, full list]
