NIRVANA VS. RADIOHEAD

[talkingbeatlehead]

Radiohead is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY better. Nirvana is an awesome band by all means but i think Radiohead is better.

[gengemy]

???



[jl287771]

radiohead just doesnt have the spirit that nivana had

[Cuandoeslachupa]

@jl287771 Radiohead have the street spirit LoL .. well i was in love with nirvana it was the only band with black sabbath that matters but when i began to listen lo british music... God! Radiohead is an intellectual band

[MadMonsterMansion]

las dos son unas de las mejores bandas del mundo con canciones perfectas y almbunes perfectos.. aun asi creo que nirvana es mejor jaja

[RazorsharpLT]

Also, i love it when Radiohead fans compare Radiohead to newer bands (like coldplay) and say that there better, BUT when it comes to comparing to legends, they are all like "oh baww no comaping 2 diferen bads no no both b good"

[shotgun6971]

nirvana hands down

[aphasia99]

BAN MUSIC.

[akara86]

Nirvana and Radiohead.. is this a contest on how depressing it's possible to be?

[charlestylerdean]

first of all, this isn't even Nirvana's song, it's by Leadbelly. i hope to god you knew that. and on top of that, this is Nirvana Unplugged, which is the WORST thing you could've taken to compare them to another (obviously completely different) band. don't get me wrong, Unplugged is actually my favorite performance by Nirvana.

second, anyone who actually listens to Radiohead knows just how different Creep is from the rest of their music. apparently you've offended a lot of people, remove it.

[acktiondan]

lame

[yaidonyknowwhattoput]

...im pissed

[tiesje93]

Why VS?

You talking about the 2 best bands ever!

The 70,80,90's are the best, Please compare the music of this thime with music on this video, you will see the different.

Right now we couldnt comparing those 2 bands.

[MeAlmost]

You're comparing two totally differnt bands wich are personnaly, in my favorites. You can't compare Beethoven to Bach, you know what I mean?

[XxgameacexX]

This has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. They are two completely different bands.

[stpcreepstp]

with radiohead i remember listening to karma police on repeat as a teenager for hooours and sometimes would leave it on while i slept, but i always refused to dig deeper idk why. so one day i'm in my car and i hear the song called creep, and it's fucking awesome, after the song they say it's a classic song by radiohead...WHAT!! this couldn't be the same band that made karma police WTF this was about the time in rainbows came out, and i finally dived in =) I'm sorry Nirvana, but it's Radiohead

[stpcreepstp]

well i'm 24 atm, i remember listening to nirvana a lot when i was VERY young, i'd come into my first grade class and listen to them heh. I also remeber crying when i found out that he died. After this i liked his music even more and like most i went through a stage of denial that he killed himself, until i became a bit older and realized that he definitely killed himself, and that a lot of the songs i used to love just don't give me that same feeling anymore

[q0zi]

I think if you pinned "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Paranoid Android" together, it would make a more even match; it's their 'best' songs.

[seapockets]

excellent nirvana song, poor choice for a radiohead song. that is one of their most AVERAGE songs. anything post pablo honey is better than that.

[MeinerMeinungNach]

Although I cannot figure out what the VS in the title is about., both Nirvana and Radiohead have been and will remain among my favorite rock bands.

Both bands obtained substantial initial success. However, Mr. Cobain was not sure that his intention had been really understood whereas Mr. Yorke knew well that Creep was not what he had intended. I would not elaborate further but my bottom line is YOU SHOULD NOT COMPARE THEM IN THIS WAY.

[ItsJoshman11]

nirvana rock but radiohead are the seldgehammer!

har har har

[KRS1LEGEND]

lol at anyone who says nirvana

[moonbreath1]

@KRS1LEGEND why lol? isn't it all about taste?

[KRS1LEGEND]

@moonbreath1 yea its just that my opinion is better than everyone elses lol

[etejuanete3]

Why creep? did you guys knew the band hated that song because it suffocated all the others from that album? (and most of them are good too)

I have heard that radiohead is a one hit wonder, and that isn't true at all.

Please listen more radiohead songs you'll see they're the best of bands

[moonbreath1]

@etejuanete3 who said radiohead is a 1 hit wonder?

[shadow1dx]

@moonbreath1 Exactly. Kid A and OK Computer are 2 of the greatest albums of all time.

[RazorsharpLT]

@shadow1dx

Ok Cimputer is good

Kid a is embarrasing don't even mention it.

[shadow1dx]

@RazorsharpLT Say what you believe but it is widely accepted as one of the greatest albums of all time.

[dondempezar]

Radiohead

[moonbreath1]

@C0rlay23 people do know more than creep. radiohead is considered 1 of the greatest bands ever. so what are you talking about?

[PhoenixxArmy]

the video of radiohead doesent really capture the emotion. The accousic version should have been put here instead of this one. I love both of the songs and idc whose better. Id listen to both anyday.

[SoaringMuse]

As it is, Radiohead. Back when Kurt was alive, Nirvana. Who knows how far they could've went? We don't know. But Radiohead just like Nirvana redefined a genre of music, and have done so with IMO even more creativity. The video itself didn't hit the point though.

[x9x8x7x61]

Radiohead is better, in my opinion, Some of nirvana's songs have melody, but radiohead is just better (Pablo Honey, Bends and OK Computer especially)

[lolman33333]

@x9x8x7x61 fucking retard!!! get some musical taste then come back fucking fag!

[Troy211619]

@lolman33333 Nirvana is better than Radiohead? Get off the heroin and start listening to real music cause people are just laughing at you for what you said..

[ai101perkins]

@Troy211619 Nirvana is better than Radiohead. You dumb cunt.

[Troy211619]

@ai101perkins How can you say that? Where's your proof?

[moonbreath1]

@Troy211619 everyone has their own taste. nirvana was fucking great.

[Walcor87]

@lolman33333 Fanboy, haha.

[missyoutub3]

how retarded... NIRVANA are miles and miles better.

[lolman33333]

@missyoutub3 THANK U!!!

[C0DZ0R]

Radiohead are fucking gods but creep is their worst song. Fuck you.

[NameERF91]

if u look at 2 stars in the sky, can you tell wich one is closer? no...

[Dave12815]

Not a fair comparison. Creep is the first song Thom Yorke ever wrote. Its not even close to their best.

[stevedoll1982]

Know what's missing from Radiohead's "Creep"? Negative.

[kevinzhito29]

Nirvana

[arrongreenmusician]

Both are too completely different bands

Both are well respected and legendary in the music world.

There's no comparison really they are both good in their own right.

[xGSxMayhem94]

nirvana is fucking awesome, radiohead is fucking awesome. what's the debate???

[pacods2000]

nirvana is the bets

[zebrahead32]

i gotta say their both my fav bands,i cant say which i prefare cus it depends on my mood-at least we still got thomas yorke bringing out quailty songs compared to the fucking bile out now,i havnt listned to the radio in years

[dawe707]

both are amazing, anyway radiohead are better...

[enigmAmnesiac]

You cannot really compare these two bands, they are too different. They are both great in their own way. Leave it at that.

[coldplayandoasis]

bouth bands are really creative and original genius

[TheSilentassin]

nirvana ftw fuck who dont agrees like this guy under my comment

[lugnut754839]

radiohead FTW. kurt cocain was just one depressed son of a bitch

[nimaside]

I'd just say Kurt was special and the singer of Radiohead was not as special as Cobain.

[atipton10]

Yeah, I would definitely say Creep is Radiohead's best representative. All of there songs are built off of it, and it was the beginning of their unique sound. NOT!

[Kropotkinskaya]

@atipton10 I was about to be outraged until I got to the last word.

[Luvinhas]

Radiohead are the best band i have seen

And Nirvana are lots of innovative creative, artistic, but that applies mostly to Kurt.

[micknval]

thats good shit bye nirvana cool kurt

[PhantomOnTheHorizon]

Nirvana were the heroin, and Radiohead were the anti-comedown. When Kurt died in '94, Thom came along and stopped everyone from being super depressed. (Y)

[greenpumpkin96]

radiohead

nirvana is too exaggerated

[benirvana1]

both are good

[STRATOMASTER190]

AY DESAFINO 4:03

[fohawk31]

radiohead are the better musicians, jonny outclasses Kurt on the guitar and thoms vocal range is just amazing. and as a band radiohead come together as good as anyone else

[Ari2010Radiohead]

my 2 favorites bands ....

[stonerish06]

Two of my favorite bands, but in the end it's all radiohead in my opinion. Kurt's Voice is better than thom's , but as a whole radiohead are just better musicians than nirvana and more creative at that,..... However Nirvana was more emotional and i love that......but it's a silly comparison 'cause they are soooooo different

[TheRetiopening]

With just guitar, bass and drums, radiohead are mostly boring. Lucky for them they turned to electro-rock to attract yuppies.

[skylineiiigtr]

@TheRetiopening I am renaming you "Mad-Wrong" because...well you are mad wrong.

[francisfarmer69]

Yay two of my favourite bands

[picklenote22]

nirvana

[cosminel10]

i love both

but Nirvana was, is, will be the Best!

[NirvanaVideoVault]

Nirvana are better they changed music man!!!

[kireraziel]

no hay comparacion ni si quiera where did you sleep last night es de nirvana, y la cancion de radiohead no es de las mejores.... patetica la comparacion

[rodssslive]

respect to both bands. Kurt just went too fast.

[MGOTraitor]

this isn't a 'VS' video. this is just 'where did you sleep last night', with a radiohead song afterwards. but hey, at least labeling it incorrectly got you 70,000 views! ;)

you must be chuffed with yourself lol

[JA101K]

@MGOTraitor THANK YOU!! Took the words right outta my brain. (Plus I'm tired of this whole "VS" thing.)

[roosterhake]

@MGOTraitor nice

[DDrewwP]

ok here is the deal. nirvana is the better band. all around. kurt is a genius krist is the life of the band and dave can do everything. plus nirvana is harder. radiohead is soft ya sure they have hard guitars but with his voice its not event comparable to kurts just smoked 40 packs of ciggarettes voice.

[CapoStatuz]

both great bands but radiohead has the better catalog. RIP kurt

[salihadjic]

first if u comparing u should post Nirvana song, cause Where did u sleep.. is not.

Creep is far from being Radiohead's best song,

but even this way i think that Radiohead is much better.

i like Nirvana too, but there're no way how Nirvana could win

u can't compare Thom's beautiful vocals with Curt's

i don't even talk about music..

[jcoyne]

what is the point of this!

[mdw382]

How does Kurt Koabain collect his thoughts these days? Why with a mop and squeegee of course...

[TheKidninja]

@mdw382 I actually want you to die.

[roblowefan1]

two perfect souls!

[guitio2002]

well I think Creep is pretty grunge even though jonny won't agree:-)

i'd vote Radiohead anyway : love ok computer and kid A!!

[ZelitaMusic]

How can you compare these two bands? Don't get me wrong, Nirvana and Radiohead are amazing bands, but are at two completely different ends of the rock spectrum.

Nirvana are a raw punk/grunge band whereas Radiohead are a very well calculated and refined experimental rock. Oranges and Apples.

[Miloseb12345]

Nirvana has some great stuff but you cannot compare these two bands radiohead is 10x better, the way that they develop every single song is magical and Nirvana is much more simple.

[DAZEOFTHESTONED]

Kurt why did you leave us behind? For that I'm sayin Radiohead. Atleast they are still around! Actually "Creep" is a better song anyway!

[fuckthehuns1]

Both!...

[raxodia117]

Nirvana!!

[PirateThom]

I like how the Nirvana song is a cover of a Leadbelly song.

[1ngjoxsh]

@PirateThom

One of the greatest covers ever.

[FAZYLUCK3R]

sorry, but BY FAR, nirvanas unknown early - especially acoustic stuff, is a LOT better then theyre popular stuff. they more than just smells like teen spirit. x

[roejogan8]

this is stupid. both are amazing.

[slashzzzz]

i don't wanna hate or anything but i really think nirvana win by far ahead but i like radiohead i just think nirvana had more good song

[rydeeh11]

THIS IS STUPID

[Mustaldo]

RH!

[mcnalzer12]

4:11

[Sammaniac90]

I love them both, you can't compare them.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Nothing alike.

[BlorgenSnarf]

Everyone's already said it. Both bands are awesome. I like Radiohead a little more, as I can just put their entire discography on shuffle and never have to skip anything, but really, both bands are just infinitely great. This comparison should never have been made.

Also, Creep is like my least favorite Radiohead song. Bleh.

[LoveReignnOverMe]

I like this. But the Nirvana song isn't a Nirvana song. It's attributed to an old artist called Leadbelly, but it's really just an old old folk song.

[orozcomd]

Love them both, they're great on their respective genres... this comparison is nonsense.

[CloudsofBliss]

@orozcomd

Nirvana wins but they are both good bands

[orozcomd]

This comparison in nonsense, I love them both and they're way too different and great on their respective sides.

[kekenboss]

Radiohead!!!

[mapletusk420]

This is a stupid video, TWO GREAT VIDEOS, TWO GREAT SONGS, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACHOTHER

[AChickenSoupProduct]

I am a huge fan of both Nirvana and Radiohead, I have pretty much all of their main releases and a bunch of B-sides, and I must say, you shouldn't compare the two. They're two completely separate entities on different planes of music. Although I do like the fact that there's another person out there who thought Nirvana's Unplugged performance was awesome.

[mapletusk420]

heres a suggestion! EAT FARTS!

[TourettesSomething]

If it's this song, why not Radiohead's/Thom Yorke' Follow Me Around? It could easily have been a better choice for Radiohead, as the two songs are not so different and from different genres Tell that person to listen to Follow Me Around.

Just constructive criticism.

[UuDonKnowMe]

Wtf Creep no wonder people think Nirvana is better. You missed their Style /choose Go Slowly Or Pyramid Song

[darbeel1]

why o why does this comparison choose creep?, u could not have missed their style more

[IRosaElefanti]

I cannot choose, it's too painfull, i prefer to stab my self in the heart directly.

[Juanjolead]

@01Nevermind You are right but you think nirvana is best than radiohead??

[UuDonKnowMe]

@Juanjolead Yea and people should start making food from cow shit You have "gooder" ideas hahaha

[Juanjolead]

@UuDonKnowMe ?

[GiampieroMagalli]

what's the point of this? rofl kids making charts for everything..

[jabre12]

Im really glad I stopped listening to what the Nirvana fan base had to say, all of their comments are so fucking simple minded. Dont get me wrong, I dont give a shit about you, but Nirvana is still the reason why I picked up a guitar and started exploring music. Get of your fucking ass and start listening to something else than the Nevermind album. Two great fucking bands, two totally different sounds - not to mention the two unique styles.

[HowAboutSomeTruth1]

Creep is to Radiohead what 'smells like teen spirit' is to Nirvana

[LViZcobain]

I ♥ NIRVANA !!!

[missbettyxxx]

i love both bands..there both my fav

[a4d2d0]

agreed !absolute top of my list but i fell in love with nirvana first. radiohead has a more mature sound though

[TheRedstormshadow]

why the fuck is it when ever radiohead versus some one they only use creep lol bullshit like if that the only radiohead song fucking bullshit!!!

I dont give a fuck if this was a request your a fucking dumbass for doing it man ..fuck you!!

[bomsai123]

They are different..

[shitola1967]

They both are highly influential in their own right..but have very diff styles.

[rcarta5]

i dont think its fair to compare these two bands because once kurt passed nirvana was over robbing them of the oppourtunity to grow and possibly expand their sound unlike radiohead. lets just be appreciative that one of these amazing band is still around to make amazing music...but as far as musicianship, radiohead takes the cake, just my opinion

[catsrool3]

NIRVANA ALL WAY DEFFINATELEY

[DirtyDanchez1]

definitely could have choosen a better radiohead song.

both bands are so amazing. radiohead, i think are a bit better.

[KDBiLuvthem]

Yes, i am done arguing with people about my own opinion. I do believe Nirvana is more known than RAdiohead, and is much better. Not saying Radiohead is bad or anything. It all depends on the kind of music you like. And I like the stuff that expreses how I feel. The people that I can flip through their songs, and be like, o ya I did that today.

[KDBiLuvthem]

His name is Thomas Yorke, and I am allowed to have an opinion to. These bands shouldn't be compared.

[mahavishnu]

Of course.

Comparing Radiohead with Nirvana is just ridiculous. The Thom Yorke's band is in the top along with The Beatles, The Velvet Underground & Pink Floyd, Nirvana isn't.

MTV says Nirvana has reavolutioned and changed rock drastically, but Radiohead really has.

[1964go]

Not comparable at all. As long as we are making random comparisons how about The Jonas Brothers. Vs the American Idol cast from 2001'.

[KDBiLuvthem]

I like both bands, I never said I didn't. But in my opinion Nirvana is better. They had such a different sound. And Kurt's voice was so beautiful. This song I realize is Leadbelly's but it does strain Kurt's ability which makes him sound great. So Yes Nirvana is better, even though Kurt is gone.

[steve89z]

for all you young people,this song originally done by ledbelly heddy ledbetter 1933? where did you sleep last night? it's about a murder.ledbelly had a lot of hits done later and made into hits,midnight special,house of the rising sun ,etc.

[jacobjredsox23]

They both kick ass

[mahavishnu]

Oh, Come On!

Take into account you' re trying to compare a great COVER performed by Nirvana with the worst song made by Radiohead.

It's easy: Nirvana is perhaps the most overrated band ever. Radiohead is the most revolutionary band in the last 30 years (along with Super Furry Animals). OK Computer is one of the three greatest albums ever.

Nirvana is the MTV's favourite band... so what?

[SLAYERISGAY1]

they are both great bands, but radiohead would be voided if nirvana hadnt come out and revolutionized everything. radiohead started out as a kind of nirvanaesque, grungy from england rip off with creep, then got their act together and did their own thing. ok computer pushed the boundaries of music that could be made, while nevermind pushed the boundaries of what could be considered a great album in the mainstreem. kind of exactly like the beatles (nirvana) and pink floyd (radiohead).

[FuckMoiMosk]

autor=loh

Compare your left hand and right leg!

[ThomComputer]

i have to comment on the song choice...terrible.

[jungleman68]

but this radiohead song sucks

[jungleman68]

radiohead is way better

[mexicanman6]

Nirvana ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KDBiLuvthem]

I agree!!! Nirvana, Kurt is the only one who can sing like him, someone else can sing like the Radiohead singer.

[DaIrishGuy]

i think its the other way about.

[Milescook7655]

@KDBiLuvthem  Do you even know his name?

[HowAboutSomeTruth1]

@KDBiLuvthem

Wtf you on about idiot? who can sing like Thom?

[TheMrbollox]

both shit

[MrSharky97]

@TheMrbollox

then u hav no taste in music, douche.

[Ducklord444]

i like both but i agree completely different bands

[bigdunk9]

Stupid comparison. Both bands are fantastic and totally different.

[hectordiosviento]

is an angel who was killed by his jealous girlfriend :-)why you left nivana(-:

[ihatecarebears1]

radiohead is better but kurt was an angel

[mdw382]

@ihatecarebears1

How does Kurt collect his thoughts these days? With a mop and squeegee!

[tobyobrie]

I didn't say that Teen Spirit wasn't a good song or that it didn't have a huge impact. But I stand by the fact that Nirvana were one trick ponies, and that Radiohead are the more talented band. By album three, Radiohead had become innovators, and by album four, were pushing at the boundaries of popular music. The same can't be said for Nirvana.

[mexicanman6]

a but nirvana is a pioneer to grunge.

[tobyobrie]

Yep, and that's all. Radiohead are the more important band, anyone who thinks otherwise is living in the past with his head up his ass.

[roejogan8]

wrong. each nirvana release is different. kurt spoke of changing the bands sound for the next album and experimenting. he never got to do that, so it's unfair to say they were a one trick pony. their music is pretty diverse. listen closer. btw, radiohead is one of my favorite bands too. kid a and in rainbows are my favorite albums.

[BassistBob81]

Why would these two completely different bands be compared? Nirvana fans will like Nirvana more and Radiohead fans will like Radiohead. Fans of both will be like "WTF?".

[tobyobrie]

In the 90's, this would have been a valid comparison, as both bands were producing grungy, emotive rock. Today, Radiohead have shown themselves to be in a different league. Nirvana were one-trick ponies. Kurt's suicide immortalized the band far more than their mostly-mediocre music ever could.

[MrAbadaba]

Sorry. David Bowie wrote this song. Nervana did not write it.

This is a cover version. A great cover none the less.

So is the question David Bowie vs Radiohead?

[Surautomatism]

David Bowie did not write "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." It's a classic blues song by Leadbelly. You're thinking of "The Man Who Sold the World"

[meinsola]

David Bowie didn't write this song !

Leadbelly did !

But bowie wrote "The man who sold the world" in the Nirvana Unplugged...

[57uhhhhh]

if your going to compare nirvana to radio head shouldent you pick a nirvana song?

[jldkrank]

Radiohead is my favourite band, but the second I see a comparison with "Creep" I turn it off. Kudos, maybe I'll make one with better songs for each band. The songs with the most character for each.

[331503393]

shit,nothing to be compared,both great

[ih8gorgonzola]

God, I miss Kurt.

[DamnShitYeah]

Are you kidding? I mean... what the f**k do you wanna tell us?! xD

[sonataguitar]

why dont compare ir ??? i mean why cant we say once and for all that nirvana sucks ???

[andy1yoga]

yes, look at all the beatles songs that are three chord songs. Also, this is a cover song. Most of the songs during this performance are cover songs.

[lemonlorry]

Well done.

You chose two of the worst songs from two of the greatest bands.

[llcdrdndgrbd]

"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is a cover. The more you know.

[RealMusicWillLiveOn]

Tie. Two amazing bands, don't compare them.

[Juanjolead]

Nirvana its so overrated because of the dead of kurt.....

This bands cant be compeared radiohead has more work than a 3 chords song

[ShanBruceLee]

You realize that a lot of the best songs ever written are "3 chord songs" right?

[Juanjolead]

Best song or more popular??

And tell me one plz :)
