chai 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Who would you say is the most talented member in the group? Personally I think it's Jonny, but I'd like to see what you all think. Link to post Share on other sites
then youre wrong 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well, Thom in the songwriting of Radiohead. Jonny in the sense that he can do so many different things with such skill. Do you mean skill in general or skill shown through the music of Radiohead? Link to post Share on other sites
Orbiting Children 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 would anyone vote for Colin or Phil??? :S nothing wrong with them, but they are not as talented as the other 3 members of Radiohead... Link to post Share on other sites

Hansy 10 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ed's skill level is over 9000. Link to post Share on other sites
Orbiting Children 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 someone voted for Phil! we should say why we think ____ is the more skilled... Link to post Share on other sites
weirdfishes 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think its pretty safe to say it comes down to Thom or Jonny, I made a thread asking the same thing a while ago... http://mortigitempo.com/really_bored/index.php?/topic/105229-whose-got-more-talent-thom-or-jonny/page__p__3909047__hl__%2Bwhose+%2Bmore+%2Btalented__fromsearch__1#entry3909047 Link to post Share on other sites
climbing up the walls 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think jonny is the most tallented all round musician. Thom is the most tallented songwriter. I think a better question to ask is who is the best musician in terms of technical musicianship and musical feel and orignality in teh parts they write for themselves on their respective main instrument. So who wins in the following battle? Thom on vocals Ed on guitar Jonny on guitar Colin on bass Philip on drums Personaly I would say it was a toss up between Philip and Jonny and Thom. Personally I think Link to post Share on other sites

radiohead6 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well, obviously each member will be the best at their respective instrument but if you're talking about the best overall musician and songwriter, that's a different story. Obviously, Jonny is the best musician as he can compose orchestras and play multiple instruments but Thom is a better songwriter. Link to post Share on other sites
Scrumch 10 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 would anyone vote for Colin or Phil??? :S nothing wrong with them, but they are not as talented as the other 3 members of Radiohead... Colin is so amazingly talented that he should be at least near the top of anyone's list. Link to post Share on other sites
Master Shortpants 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 TKOL would be nothing without collin. We can't really say for sure that he writes all of his parts but at the very least it's hard to think of many other bass players who are as vital to a groups sound as Collin here is Link to post Share on other sites
RadioFire 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Colin, Ed, and Phil are replaceable. You can find guys with the same skill-set and Radiohead would still sound like Radiohead. Jonny would be hard to replace. Thom is almost irreplaceable from a Radiohead standpoint. He's not only a musician, but a writer, and a front-man that can move crowds. With that being said there are a lot of things Thom can do but a lot of things he can't do either. And Jonny is the perfect compliment to what Thom lacks. I think from sheer technicality of music Jonny is more skilled. But Thom has a variety of more skills. Kind of hard. Link to post Share on other sites

Ed O'Beard 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 how could you say ed is replaceable? he is responsible for all the atmosphere & ambiance that defines radiohead. Link to post Share on other sites
RadioFire 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 how could you say ed is replaceable? he is responsible for all the atmosphere & ambiance that defines radiohead. Thom can tell someone else to do that Same results. Link to post Share on other sites
Hippopothomas J 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Jonny's the best musician but not the most skilled. Phil trumps in terms of technical skill. Link to post Share on other sites

Hippopothomas J 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 How are we defining skill here? I mean I know Jonny's a great musician but surely it comes down to more than how many instruments someone can play. Phil's drumming is so tight, I don't think Radiohead would be anywhere near as good without him. Isn't he also responsible for Everything In Its Right Place? Link to post Share on other sites
