c'mon /mu/, you are not helping me here
>>63517657
Easy. Spice Girls, followed closely by Backstreet Boys/NSYNC. TLC and Destiny's Child honorable mentions
Across the River got all of the Palm Desert punk rockers into a more melodic blues-based sound, essentially creating the Desert Rock scene. This scene spawned Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, and so Across the River can be considered the godfather of every band directly influenced by them.
>>63517778
Thats bullshit. Nirvana influence is still overhyped
>>63517770
Sorry, being and influence of a particular subgenre of rock that didnt even lasted the time window we are evaluatimg doesnt put you in the three most important bands. Hell, ill even put daft punk over cuck cobains shit band.
>>63517657
Importance of these groups is very subjective Anon kun. Radiohead was highly inspired by Nirvana, which was inspired a lot by Pixies, Minutemen, Husker Du, lots of Hard Rock and etc. They are popular, you right, but that doesn't make them most important bands.
>>63517836
Across the River isn't even on wikipedia, c'mon man, i'm talking about bands that combine popularity and prestige
>>63517888
Radiohead is out of question
The most influential bands are probably not very well known, but influenced the bands that were well known.
>>63517888
All truly great art can be traced objectively, and no radiohead's influences are not subjective

P.S. Kid A is garbage

not a band but kanye west. Hard to deny the influence he's had on hip hop in the last 10 or so years. Granted he doesnt go back to the 90s like Nirvana and Radiohead.

OK Computer received unanimous critical acclaim and has since been cited by critics and musicians as one of the greatest rock albums of the 1990s. The album was nominated in the Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Performance categories at the 1998 Grammy Awards, ultimately winning the latter. The album initiated a shift away from the popular Britpop genre of the time to the more melancholic and atmospheric style of alternative rock that would be prevalent in the next decade. Critics and fans have commented on the underlying themes found in the lyrics and album artwork, emphasising Radiohead's views on rampant consumerism, social alienation, emotional isolation, and political malaise; in this capacity, OK Computer is often interpreted as having prescient insight into the mood of 21st-century life, and many critics have described it as the greatest albums ever released.

There's no benefit for you to argue with me brah. Try listening to more music that is not Radiohead and Nirvana, you can start from Pixies and Minutemen. You should remember that arguing over the third most important band in the world is just as cancerous as the new MTV, never do that again.

I can't describe with words an experience that you did not had, it's pointless. go focus on listening to Radiohead and in a year maybe we can talk about it.

>>63518706
It does make sense. You can say "nirvana influence all those x, y, z bands cause maybe it looks like it. But you really dont know what actually had influence them. There is a shitons of punk rock music not mainstream that were around the time and you plebs dont fucking know. Nirvana was something new for the pleb mainstream crowd Who hadnt heard alt rock, punk rock before
>>63519018
But I mean, with all you have heard, you aren't curious on giving Radiohead a chance?
>>63519128
I've listened to Radiohead a long time ago and moved on. Now, can you tell me, what experience did you have with it?
>>63517657
RHCP, obviously.
For all that would come from it:
Blink-182
Search your dumb, hipster heart. You know I'm right.
>>63519218
I had never given Radiohead a chance, and when I did a couple of years ago my way of listening to music completely changed, I was skeptical on something relatively new blowing my mind. Also I was on a difficult period of my life so I could relate a lot to the lyrics. Thom Yorke is one of the best voices I have ever heard in my life. It's the perfect balance of emotion and technique.

>>63519643
Okay man, listen. I asked what were you amazed by in OK Computer. You say they had a streak of good albums, and that's it. It's not an answer, this is nothing.
>>63519643
estoy totalmente de acuerdo mi amigo sudaca
>>63517657
I dont think there's been a band with a streak of albums with that quality that has been popular. the 00's had influental albums for indie rock like Is This It, Funeral, and TOTBL but all of those bands went downhill after making the debut.

Lasting discussion can be an indicator of influence or SALES, which Nirvana had. They deserve to be recognized as a great band, but definitely not one of the greatest or most influential of the past 25 years, and neither does Radiohead: My Bloody Valentine, Slint, and Neutral Milk Hotel should be called the most influential/important artists in rock (this is to say nothing of hip hop (in which case Biggie and Three 6 Mafia should be recognized)) for inventing shoegaze, post-rock, and, in NMH case, completey changing the course of indie rock. This, even, is to ignore the rise of post-hardcore, and the massive innovations made in noise rock and psychedelic music in the 90s
Scooter.
>>63519703
not him but
the interplay in OK Computer is amazing. there is never a moment that I am not enjoying what is happening musically. I think the sound of it is excellent and it has some of my favorite songs ever like Paranoid Android and Let Down. I really don't know how someone who likes listening to music as a hobby could listen to those songs and not be impressed.

>>63519755
what is influential then? I've met way more people starting out bands because they wanted to sound like Radiohead or Nirvana than people who started making music because they listened to the bands you mentioned. not that they are not important but saying that NIrvana and Radiohead are less influential than those three is delusional.
Several of the tracks are technically intriguing. For instance, Paranoid Android has time changes from 4/4 to 7/8 back and forth during the middle section, and the guitar part in Let Down is in 5/4, not to mention key and tempo changes out the wazoo, while the rest of the instruments are in 4/4 (albeit i can't really figure that out aside from reading about it).
It's also pretty notable for having more electronics/distorted noises in it than an average 90s alt band. Exit Music (For a Film)'s climax amps up the bass at a ridiculous amount, while songs like Climbing Up the Walls and a bit of Karma Police have distortion to add to the frantics of the song. Electioneering is also pretty electric, but I don't really care for it after my initial love for the album so let's move on.
The album has an overall theming of isolation in the society that the protagonist(s?) live(s) in. Paranoid Android was apparently written after Thom Yorke witnessed a bar fight, and releases a bit of anger about his frustration with peers around him. In fact, that's pretty much most all the album. Subterranean Homesick Alien is about a daydream of leaving Earth and taking a breather from the batshit insane stuff going on here, Exit Music (For a Film) is (in my interpretation, at least) about a couple running away and rebelling from some parent, Fitter Happier is supposed to be a satire about society's bizarre materialism or something (it's a weird-ass interlude), No Surprises is a darker turn down a man's life as he opts for suicide in his depression, and The Tourist is about the character finally slowing down and enjoying life for what it is as he tells others to. There are several theories about this album's concept (or if there is one); for instance, the 'ding' at the end of The Tourist is the car crash at the beginning of Airbag, meaning the album is some loop.

>yr anecdotes
MBV, Slint, and NMH invented genres (in NMHs case, they pioneered folk punk, indie rock, and psychedelic folk in entirely new ways), all Nirvana and Radiohead did was make more accessible versions of genres that already existed (punk rock (many historians will readily admit that Nirvana's "grunge" was a media invention, they were considered nothing more than another hardcore or post-hardcore band in the vein of Hüsker Dü before they became popular and external categories were placed on them) and space rock). Nirvana and Radiohead reintroduced, in new contexts (for which they deserve credit: both of these groups should be recognized as important, but less important than their media images portray them to be), but they did not invent. In Nirvana's case, Melvins and Hüsker Dü deserve credit for the sound; in Radiohead's, Spiritualized were doing the same thing at the same time as Radiohead, but better, Talking Heads before that, and Can before that (a decade later, Deerhunter's Cryptograms would again reintroduce krautrock in a song-format, producing more interesting songs than anything on OK Computer in the process).
Influence is disconnected from sales figures and popular opinion - the Velvet Underground is easily the most famous example of this.
All this being said, I love Radiohead, consider OK Computer to be their best album, and Airbag (especially the unbelievable guitar solo) to be one of the great treasures of the 90s.

Nothing on Cryptograms has the same amount of detail and skill level of Ok Computer though .And this from a huge Cryptograms fan and Deerhunter in general.
Also, how does Spiritualized sound like Radiohead? They used gospel instrumentation and sounds together with post-rock iirc (not trying to discredit your point, I'd like to see the connections)

MBV. Loveless isn't quite 25 yet, it's got a few months to go.

If you wanna say they're the best Indie Rock fine, but they certainly didn't pioneer the genre, or even take it anywhere new.

I want to say MBV like a few others in this thread but in terms of cultural impact I guess a group like Portishead or Gorillaz would be ahead of them
