Sonic Youth didn't invent rock music for sure, yet they managed to to make it sound more deranged than other mainstream bands and still Starbucks ask people to compile an album with their songs to put on sale in their shops, film directors, fashion designers, prestigious gallery owners all want to have a slice of them. Radiohead aren't the worst band in the world, to a certain degree I think they have also produced some excellent stuff visually, but their records are way too indebted to a certain way of doing things wich used to work out very well with british rock, but with them doesn't seem to move forward like it used to. Also, we are talking about a band that has a pretty small back-catalogue compared to SY, yet they've been going on for over 17 years.
