English bands that pushed the boundaries of rock music, experimented heavily and successfully, similar popularity and similar influence on generations of music.

People have been making the comparison for years... http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/h...e-21st-century

The Beatles had a cultural / musical impact on the world. Radiohead just had the musical impact.

that's like saying soccer is better than baseball. WRONG

How so? The beatles had the first big start in the whole mainstream marketing of pop music. Most people around the world can most likely name a quite a few beatles songs. As for radiohead, the number one song everyone probably knows is "Creep" and the thing is the beatles don't really have one song that everyone knows (it's quite a few songs). Radiohead was kinda big in the 90s with it's generic depressing alt rock sound. And when they started to experiment in the 2000s the mainstream market didn't care and they because a musician's band. Maybe radiohead is bigger in the uk then it is in the states but the beatles are just as huge in the uk as they are around the world. I'm not a huge fan of both bands but anyone can clearly see why you can't compare the two bands not even in the smallest amounts.

Didn't see/hear that specific song on the lists but if anyone knows, he might.

Reportedly Jeff Buckley, but Thom was really emo back then.

Kinda equivalent to those girls that carve Elliott Smith's name into their thigh with a razor blade. Bonus points if they misspell Elliott.
