I got negged twice for saying mostly the same thing
Which is hardly surprising. Radiohead fans tend to go into massive butthurt mode with even the slightest insinuation that Radiohead might -not- be the greatest and most profound cultural achievement in the history of modern western culture.

The Doctor said...
Lol. I'm not the biggest radiohead fan, but in your analogy, they would be the talented artist with the nice gallery. For my third pick, I wanted to put in a popular band that has performed in the past 20 years. Most of U2s stuff has sucked for the past 20 years. There have been better bands than radiohead, but they have been the most influential/popular.
So now you're claiming Radiohead....better than U2? What's next? Yugo better than BMW?

It's interesting to see how polarizing Radiohead has become over the past 5 years specifically. 14 years ago, when they released OK Computer, they went from being an underrated brit pop band (Pablo Honey and Bends were GREAT brit pop albums, but they sounded more like they were copying from the Stone Roses/Charlatans) to the "IT" band and really started coming into the Radiohead sound we know today. That was all well and good until they released In Rainbows (AKA, the "free" album) and then it suddenly became the "hipster douche" band to like.
Putting them in the same breath as the Beatles & Stones may not be fair, although, the Beatles were only active for about 10 years... about the same length of time that Radiohead has been a stadium act, so longevity is not the question, although societal impact may be.
If you were going add a third to that list, with the caveat being that the third band had to be a relatively contemporary rock act, who would it be? It's been mentioned before, but U2 would probably have to be the closest... maybe Pearl Jam?

You young whippersnappers can be forgiven for not understanding the impact and influence of the Beatles/Stones/Who/Led Zepplin/Doors/Pink Floyd etc... We are never going to see these super groups again, the conditions no longer exist to allow anyone to display musical originality, get it recorded and get it played. You are correct though, U2 by far has come closest to what these groups accomplished.
