. . .outside of Radiohead.

For the most part, mentions here are US bands.

What about Belle and Sebastian?

Portishead?

New Order?

PJ Harvey?

The Cure?

The "obscurities" who don't have hits —or even that much notoriety— but who seemingly can't make a bad record: Trashcan Sinatras, Trembling Blue Stars, Vini Reilly and the fucking Durutti Column, Slowdive, David Sylvian's work, fucking Talk Talk, motherfucking STEREOLAB HELLLOOO????????

And the **GOOD** American bands who have not remained "cool": the Ocean Blue, Throwing Muses, the Sea and Cake, amongst others??????

And the few sane people in the room have actually mentioned Sonic Youth. Fucking Sonic Youth makes Wilco look like idiots (and I *like* Wilco, but come the fuck on).

This topic is fucking horseshit. I'd call it nonsense, but nonsense is funny.

The contents of this topic came from a horse's anus. Think about that.
