I haven't heard any band named "the next Radiohead" in years.

The first two that come to mind right away are Travis ("Radiohead light") and Coldplay. If you mean that reviewers might have once made that comparison, but haven't in five or more years, ok I guess. If you mean that no such comparisons have been made, they're pretty widespread.

I freely admit that I didn't listen to all the songs listed, but it seems really stupid to say anybody reading the thread "missed the point" of the songs. Really? I don't understand why a band would cover these songs, or why these bands in particular would choose these particular songs? That's a pretty surprising comment from someone who doesn't recognize half of the bands and who doesn't like half the songs listed.

But maybe I completely missed every single significant aspect of the covers.
