In fact, no radio station will play it. On the other hand, "Elenear Rigby" can be heard in super-markets and dentist offices because it's soothing and harmless. At any rate, I'm always willing to expand my horizon, excluding RadioHead, because I know your blowing them out, and Oasis, whom I deplore, lay some music that's directly descends from the Beatles pop culture on all of us.

Are we talking about the same genre? Metal? Culturally unacceptable? Thats why Metallica sell so little records and so few people have Slayer shirts right and you NEVER see dudes with mullets walking around in Pantera shirts!
Its called Eleanor Rigby, and harmless? You keep going on about the song likes its something Celine Dion did, the song is extremely sad. How am I blowing radiohead out? and sure; Beulah, the Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Elliott Smith, Of Montreal, Blur, Elton John, and someone more knowledgeable could probably think of plenty of others.
