i usually think of karma police, although my fav tune by them is black star. well, bends is probably my fav album by them
on spotify, "creep" has 30 million listens, 'karma police' has 16 million. these numbers are comparable to kanye west's on spotify, although of course that's going to be biased towards new music. as king of limbs was their worst album since pablo honey, it's understandable why they haven't been huge on spotify, which only recently started showing the listens/track. now kanye has almost 3x as many 'followers' though on spotify. but all of this is irrelevant; the song has to transcend. i don't see that happening with rap

As one of the most influential rock bands out there, for reasons that escape me, Radiohead will definitely be a classic.
There is no way to deny that without your bias showing.

Kanye had to close up the upper level at recent show at the American Airlines center in dallas due to low ticket sales. Radiohead played the same venue last year and sold out almost instantly.
Irrelevant Radiohead gets owned by Kanye's relevance.

You know who I can see being a classic? Mos def. Popular enough, songs usually have a message that is slightly deeper than a puddle, etc.
