I make the Beatles analogy only because no one since the Beatles has written better music. Obviously they haven't had the cultural impact, etc., but hopefully popular music will progress in such a way that, in the future, people will listen back and realize how important they were.

Personally, I think they're important for being the first band to successfully fuse IDM (or whatever people call it these days) and rock/pop
madonna might disagree with that.

i wonder if they'll reboot bands like they reboot movie franchises, and this will be the only way people of the future can find meaning in it.conceivably gorillaz could be resurrected by pixar indefinitely.not looking forward to jj abrams jr.'s radiohead.

I doubt they'll be making music together, but they will certainly be considered among the "canon" by one "The Bends"/"OK Computer" camp and one "Kid A" camp.

I can see OK Computer being reissued about a million times

If the CD survives, that is....(Which I believe it will, but obviously streaming is a bigger threat towards the CD than digital downloading ever was - because streaming is legal and earns the artists money)
