Xfm sets record straight: Radiohead in Supergroup

Posted on July 18th, 2005.

As reported earlier, Xfm held a poll to select the World’s Greatest Ever Indie Supergroup. Thousands of people voted and the results were surprising, if not entirely predictable. Judging by the votes, the World’s Greatest Indie Band would feature Matt Bellamy from Muse on vocals and guitar, Chris Wolstenholme also from Muse on bass, and (would you believe it?) Dom Howard from Muse on drums and anyone else rather than Bez on maracas. So, essentially, it’s Muse.

But Xfm have reason to believe that certain Muse messageboards had been encouraging people to fiddle with their computers so they could multiple vote. Thus things may have been a little Muse-heavy. So disregarding their votes, the band would be formed of Thom Yorke on vocals, Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead on guitar Oasis’ Andy Bell on bass and Dave Grohl on drums. Which sounds a little more interesting.

Xfm also learned from their poll and came to the following conclusions:

- We too are very fond of Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, we just didn’t think his input into the band was as important as Thom or Jonny’s. Sorry. Now enough with the death threats.

- As a personal tip from us, if there’s ever Radiohead and Muse fanclub conventions in the same city on the same day, avoid the area, it’ll almost definitely turn violent.

- In fact, don’t trust a Muse fan.

For the full results, check the Xfm website.
