Have you heard Creed? What about Pearl Jam? Where as Radiohead is not truly experimental, they are doing things in rock that few other nascent bands will. I don't find their lack of true experimentation to be a deterrent to my enjoyment of their music. There are plenty of bands that explore previously mapped out territory to great effect. If any one can be accused of being too self-conciously, intentionally post-modern, it is Mr. Zorn. This is not inherently a bad thing, IMHO.

I came to Zorn's music from indie rock, so I have to drop some comments. I think Radiohead are one of the least interesting bands currently recording and making music; their songs are too intentionally "postmodern"/"faux-avant garde" to touch me, or anyone, personally and emotionally, and the music is wholly uninteresting as well. I'm tiring of so many people calling the band "experimental", when they're simply doing things that other artists made safe years ago.
