They just don't have the vocals or musical chops to pull that kind of thing off.

I think they are a great band...I loved The Stones and they can't pull that kind of thing off either. Nor could The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Kinks, and a lot of other bands I really like and think are great.

But my question was where are all the great musicians and singers these days? And keep in mind that Radiohead ain't exactly a new band. They are a bunch of old guys in a band that was formed 30 years ago.
Yeah, Radiohead has been around for quite some time now. I guess I'm just getting old.

There are bands out there, though, I'm sure of it. It's just that when people get older, they tend to not be as impressionable as they were when they were younger.
