Radiohead are a far superior band. Would Nirvana have ever evolved into something as unique and brilliant as Radiohead have? No. They would have continued putting out catchy albums fuelled by power chords for as long as they could but eventually that well would have run dry, very dry. It was already getting boring by In Utero.
Let's not forget that Thom Yorke stole quite a bit of image and style from Cobain after Nirvana conquered the globe. The Creep video and the subsequent appearances on MTV document these findings. It would be hard, to say the least, to imagine Radiohead ending up where they are today without the influence of Nirvana to guide it.
