That's what always bothered me about Radiohead. A big part of their so-called innovation is just repackaged, less offensive re-readings of earlier, more obscure electronica. But as it's a "real band" in the traditional sense, the general crowd has an easier time relating to it.
Radiohead did to electronica and post rock what Eminem did to hiphop, Elvis did to rock and roll and Coca-Cola did for cocaine. A watered down version of the original product in a tidy new package that even mom and dad can relate to.
