And they really don't have the same level of mass popularity that Pink Floyd has/had, especially when it comes to their weirder stuff.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 23 January 2013 22:06 (36 minutes ago)
this is the main thing that separates them
pink floyd attained full spectrum dominance with the most suburban of suburbanites, radiohead just never got that big
and probably nobody could reprise that role these days anyway

Iatee, have you listened to much pre-DSotM Pink Floyd? I agree that their most popular material is not wildly adventurous.

The true test: either band could have come up with these lyrics
A restless eye across a weary roomA glazed look and I was on the road to ruinThe music played and played as we whirled without endNo hint, no word her honour to defendI will, I will she sighed to my requestAnd then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the testThen drowned in desire, our souls on fireI lead the way to the funeral pyreAnd without a thought of the consequenceI gave in to my decadenceOne slip, and down the hole we fallIt seems to take no time at allA momentary lapse of reasonThat binds a life for lifeA small regret, you won't forget,There'll be no sleep in here tonightWas it love, or was it the idea of being in love?Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sownThe year grew late and neither one wanted to remain aloneOne slip, and down the hole we fallIt seems to take no time at allA momentary lapse of reasonThat binds a life for lifeA small regret, you won't forget,There'll be no sleep in here tonightOne slip ... one slip

AN OPEN LETTER TO RADIOHEAD
April 23, 2017London, April 24th 2017
Dear Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Philip Selway,
You’re listed to play Tel Aviv in July this year.
We’d like to ask you to think again – because by playing in Israel you’ll be playing in a state where, UN rapporteurs say, ‘a system of apartheid has been imposed on the Palestinian people’.
We understand you’ve been approached already by Palestinian campaigners. They’ve asked you to respect their call for a cultural boycott of Israel, and you’ve turned them down. Since Radiohead campaigns for freedom for the Tibetans, we’re wondering why you’d turn down a request to stand up for another people under foreign occupation. And since Radiohead fronted a gig for the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we’re wondering why you’d ignore a call to stand against the denial of those rights when it comes to the Palestinians.
Radiohead once issued a statement saying: ‘Without the work of organisations like Amnesty International, the Universal Declaration would be mere rhetoric’. You’ve clearly read Amnesty’s reports, so you’ll know that Israel denies freedom to the Palestinians under occupation, who can’t live where they want, can’t travel as they please, who get detained (and often tortured) without charge or trial, and can’t even use Facebook without surveillance, censorship and arrest.
In asking you not to perform in Israel, Palestinians have appealed to you to take one small step to help pressure Israel to end its violation of basic rights and international law. Surely if making a stand against the politics of division, of discrimination and of hate means anything at all, it means standing against it everywhere – and that has to include what happens to Palestinians every day. Otherwise the rest is, to use your words, ‘mere rhetoric’.
You may think that sharing the bill with Israeli musicians Dudu Tassa & the Kuwaitis, who play Jewish-Arabic music, will make everything OK. It won’t, any more than ‘mixed’ performances in South Africa brought closer the end of the apartheid regime. Please do what artists did in South Africa’s era of oppression: stay away, until apartheid is over.
Yours,
