I go to Brown :(
didn't radiohead go to oxford or were they just from the area?
>equating undergrad institution with intelligence
I literally dont know who any of those people are
steve albini went to northwestern but i dont think it was nearly as prestigious back then
They were from Oxford. In terms of uni education:
Thom Yorke - Exeter University
Jonny Greenwood - Oxford Brookes University (not the same as THE oxford)
Colin Greenwood - Cambridge University
Ed O'Brien - Manchester University
Phil Selway - Liverpool Polytechnic
imagine going to college with Ed O'Brien. You work your ass off throughout uni for the chance of getting a above average job, while Ed makes millions and travels the world making background noises for Radiohead.
Leonard Bernstein went to my high school.
