When I first heard Nirvana I thought "hey a new metal band" but I was pretty young.

Radiohead sounds like NOTHING on the actual NOTHING catalogue, in every case they've been described as sounding as such (Kid A, Amnesiac 'critiques'). More LIKE early electroacoustic composers--- e.g., Xenakis, Parmegiani, Luc Ferrari, etc. --- on the electronic side of things. And more like modern classical composers on the skull off their songwriting.

Most of these bands at least resemble the earlier band, but if I'm going to follow the format:

Nine Inch Nails -> Skinny Puppy
