Most art is, and for good reason. I am sure that in the Beatles' time, there were many who thought they were ruining R&B, just as many are resistant to the kind of thing Radiohead does. Yet, all things considered, both of these groups have been lauded as groundbreaking. My liking both the Beatles and Radiohead is no coincidence. I like art that departs from convention while still tapping into the human experience. This is why I also like William Shakespeare and Marcel Duchamp.
Taking Radiohead into consideration, they are very conscious of musical forms and interpreting the lives we live. I can't expect art to do anything more. Not everyone likes Duchamp, but his work speaks volumes to our experiences of the 20th century. I'm not surprised that not everyone likes Radiohead. To assume that everyone needs to is nonsense. The bottom line: Art isn't a popularity contest.
