March 27, 2008
VS.
Wired.com is currently running a poll about who are the more innovative musicians – Trent Reznor, the mastermind behind Nine Inch Nails or Thom Yorke and the rest of the boys in Radiohead. The poll is part of an article which showcases each artist’s strengths and weaknesses as innovators with tags ranging from “History of innovation” to “Punk-rock Factor.” At the time of this publishing Trent Reznor has a healthy lead, winning in 6 of the 10 categories. Several parallels between recent decisions by the bands, including fan video contests and the decision to release albums online and without record labels led to the discussion.
