Radiohead hype

Robert Hilburn must be kidding or careless to write that Radiohead is “one of the greatest bands ever in rock” (“A Joyous Desert Jam,” May 3). They will never have the impact of (in no specific order) the Clash, Cure, Depeche Mode, Oingo Boingo, Police, U2, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles, Nirvana, Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull, Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steely Dan, Chicago and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young -- just to name 20 off the top of my head.
