Kanye West
>>122895585Ween>arguably prog>early stuff not so great>changed up their sound quite a bit>do whatever the hell they want
>>122895585Frank Ocean
>>122895585Wilco
>>122895585Dolly Parton
>>122895760Ween has a sense of humor

>>122895585Frank Zappa
nirvana
>>122895760>>122895850>>122896549All of these suck.
maybe The Velvet Underground? you could argue america did it first
Pavement
>>122895760>early stuff not so greatshut up retard
>>122896379Not the worst pick but not close>>122899043I hate that band so much it's unreal
>>122895760I've never even listened to Ween but I fucking hate them
John Frusciante is America's Thom Yorke. They both make awful work with a group and even worse work outside of that group. They're both interested in shit like acoustic wank stuff to bleep bloop garbage and they both have whiny voices that make your ears bleed.
R.E.M.
You can take any popular group and ask "Who is the American [x]" and you'll get no answer because Americans are fucking shit at rock music kekReminder that Christgau thought the American Radiohead was Wilco (seriously)
>>122900271>Americans are fucking shit at rock music kekand I'm supposed to believe Oasis make good rock music?
>>122899919+1
>>122895585and r.e.m. (obviously) with a bit of beck
>>122896321
>>122896321>>122900271>>122900640This was possible at one point, when they released A Ghost is Born it seemed like they could go anywhere after that and get even better. Sadly they completely fell off instead.
>>122896321>>122900271definitely Wilco
>>122895585SwansStop looking for sound equivalents and look for direction and cultural equivalents
>>122902990To add, Swans is much much worse than RadioheadDon't get it twistedThey just share similarities in the direction they took, in how they interacted with their contexts
>>122896321>>122900271It WAS Wilco from the late 90s until 2004… after that Wilco ran out of steam and made dadrock while Radiohead came out with their two best albums (In Rainbows and TKOL) and then another decent one (Moon Shaped) One thing that still ties them together is that Jeff Tweedy converted to Judaism and the Radiohead guys simp for Israel
>>122895585I don't know but Swedish Radiohead are Kent and Polish Radiohead are Myslovitz
>>122895585Coldplay
>>122903152came here to post this
>>122903152>>122903186>American
>>122899919If theyre good enough for spongebob theyre good enough for me
>>122895585Low.
>>122895585It'd be a band that has a delicate balance of mainstream popularity/notoriety but a reputation for being "left field" or experimental in sound, and also had a mainstream rock radio hit that overshadows a lot of their other work.MGMT?
>>122903614mgmt isnt a bad pick, but i feel like radiohead are more critically acclaimed generally
A ton of European bands, specifically metal bands underwent a shift in sound towards alt rock and experimental rock after Ok Computer. Are there USA equivalents?
>>122895585Xiu XiuFrog EyesArcade Fire(the last two are actually canadian)seconding TV on the Radio
>>122895585The National
>>122903646USA equivalents to Ok Computer, or US bands influenced by Radiohead's evolution?if the latter, Cave In
>>122903614Modest Mouse
the beatles
>>122895585Talking Headsstart off as punk, evolve their sound, become more experimental, but still sell a lot of records.
>>122898619The OP asked for a band like Radiohead.
>>122903927thats a pretty good one>>122903852eh, MM is kind of reverse, their more experimental work is their earlier work, and their earlier work is more acclaimed too. their creep is float on, which came after they already hit their artistic peak, while creep came when radiohead were still figuring things out
>>122903927Radiohead also is literally named after a TH song so this fits even more
Metallica
>>122902998Radiohead is Coldplay for hipsters, just melodramatic sappy music with a thin veneer of experimentation that is just pure pretence, a single Swans song is worth the entirety of Radiowhiners discography
>>122903723Cave In sounds nothing like Radiohead at all. If anything, during their closest era to pop (the Antenna era) they were closer to Oasis. I could easily picture Noel singing Beautiful Son or Liam singing Youth Overrided. I can't picture Thom Yorke whining his way through any of their songs.
>>122904018OK Computer and the Bends have great pop songs with tangible structure other than aimless build-ups and tedious droning.So yeah, they're way better.
Flaming Lips
>>122895585Kid Rock
>>122904018Swans is even more faux avant-garde than Radiohead.
>>122904027when Jupiter came out EVERY review of the era mentioned Radiohead in one way or another.
English: Thom YorkeAmerican: Tom York
>>122895760nah ween are way too much fun to be like those sad sacks. They do have some great serious songs too but the humor is a big part of their identity because they never really stopped being the two high school kids just messing around with whatever sound they wanted on any given day.
>>122895585John Maus
>>122895585There's an alternate timeline where Women become the (North) American Radiohead instead of breaking up and having their guitarist die
>>122895850 Radiohead don't make nigger music
>>122895760>early stuff not so great
>>122902990If that's the case then i would say Animal Collective or MBV sound wise maybe Interpol>>122903852The Moon and Antarctica is compared a lot to ok computer for the cohesiveness of the album
Tront Rizz on the Jesus NailsGo back & listen to the Fragile again, you cunt
The Flaming LipsPixiesJohn MausAriel PinkDeerhunterWilcoTy Segall
>>122904092This actually makes sense. Their progression, sound wise, and career wise is very similar.
>>122896321WIlco doesn't have a single good album. They are boring af. Radiohead at least has pretty sounding songs even if you hate 98% of their other pretentius shit. You can show some zoomer or retarded teenage girl Daydreaming and they would probably like it. Willco songs are slow and boring and they never crossed into pop at all.
>>122903852Its kind of like an alternative Midwest emo mixed with an americana like sound and vibe
>>122900253This is the real answer though.https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/thom-yorke-favourite-rem-song-influenced-him/https://youtu.be/af5HEZmlN4M
Also Radiohead's earlier work is probably similar to The Shins
>>122899669for which one? he's right either way.
Blonde Redhead....
>>122909807They're like the unpopular cousin of Radiohead. There is that one song people know, but that's cause of Rick and Morty.
Arcade Fire up to Reflektor. After that they are dogshit
>>122909205This
>>122907495OP asked for the American Radiohead, you dumb shit. American music IS nigger music.
>>122909205>>122910187Clueless. Listen to Handshake Drugs or Hummingbird. May not make you like them, but proves your ignorant take wrong.
nvm the red house painters I guess. I never realized a lot of the bands alt bands I listen to are from Europe
>>122903002>two best albums (In Rainbows and TKOL)>TKOL>and then another decent one (Moon Shaped)>decentYou're actually fucking retarded
>>122904092
Brand New
>>122905876Critics are retarded, what else is new?
>>122910229that still sounds like dad rock
>>122911793Handshake Drugs doesn't, and that's not what that post I replied to even said. They also have more on that album that isn't dad rock, but I was sure that guy would be filtered by it so I didn't list those. I'm not a big Wilco fan at all, but A Ghost is Born is a great album.
>>122903535downvote
>>122910294he's right, TKOL is the patrician choice, and AMSP is generic pop muzak.
Identifying a direct "American version" of Radiohead can be subjective because Radiohead's style is quite unique and spans multiple genres. However, if we're looking for American bands that have been influential in a similar way, we might consider:Wilco: Known for their experimental and genre-blending approach, Wilco has been compared to Radiohead for their ability to evolve their sound while maintaining a strong artistic identity.Grizzly Bear: They combine intricate melodies, experimental structures, and rich harmonies, which may appeal to fans of Radiohead's more atmospheric and textured work.TV on the Radio: This band incorporates elements of rock, electronic, and experimental music, similar to Radiohead's genre-defying approach.Modest Mouse: Known for their distinctive sound and thoughtful lyrics, Modest Mouse has been influential in alternative rock and indie music, much like Radiohead's impact on the alternative scene.While these bands have elements that resonate with Radiohead's style and innovation, each has its unique sound and identity. Ultimately, Radiohead's blend of artistry, innovation, and genre-crossing makes them somewhat singular in their influence and impact.

>>122912857Anon, what city do you think he's walking in
I entered that very question into the google search engine and an article that came up about the subject mentions artists ranging from such as Tool Kendrick Lamar and Fiona Apple
>>122912889Jew York?
Everyone ITT has been wrong. The correct answer is Animal Collective.
>>122912845thanks chatgpt
>>122912094TKOL is the contrarian choice
>>122912857You were thinking of The Verve Pipe, weren't you?
>>122900271Shit at rock?>who is Alice Cooper>who are Mudhoney>who is Blue Oyster Cult>who is Fu ManchuStfu, Nigel..
>>122910294U mad bro?
>>122910213And yet without that music, rock wouldn’t exist.
>>122916295Blue Oyster Cult are American? Damn I always thought they were British
>>122916727They’re from New York buddy
>>122895585Tool obviously
>>122910174Arcade Fire is canuck. Still the best analogue for the Leaf's Radiohead, though.
>>122916295Stop supporting his argument.
