[QUOTE="Forever_Changes"]Radiohead are one of the most significant bands in music history and easily the most important band of the last 15 years. Kid A and In Rainbows (for it's release and distribution) are incredibly significant rock albums and have made a huge impact on the music world. OK Computer is simply one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Nine Inch Nails don't compare.InterpolWilcoPretty Hate Machine? The Downward Spiral? The Fragile? Do any of these albums ring a bell? I love both, but I'll go with Nine Inch Nails.
Yes, I know the albums but what real importance do they have? How much of an impact have they made on rock music? Not that great of one. They may have influenced some bands, but not to the extent that OK Computer, Kid A and, to a certain extent, In Rainbows have.
I'm not disputing that many people enjoy those albums but I am saying that Radiohead are a much more important band than Nine Inch Nails. 20 years from now, Radiohead will (probably) be looked back upon as one of the, if not the, most innovative, influential and important band(s) of the 90/00s.
BTW, Pretty Hate Machine is the only NIN album I've ever thought was even slightly interesting. NIN suck, in my opinion. :D
