If it were the 70's and 80's or even the 90's these bands may have served the same purpose. I am not saying they sound alike, but there are similarities in the audience appeal and longevity. You try a few ,you may be surprised by the duplication of originality. Remember most of the early bands were considered alternative at the beginning of their careers.
You don't have to agree I would love to see some comments.
Radiohead = Pink Floyd
Band of Horses= Crosby Stills and Nash
Bjork= Sinead O'Connor
Sufjan Stevens= Donovan
Kings of Leon = Rolling Stones
The xx =Erasure
MIA =Rage against the machine
Sleigh Bells = The Go Gos
Grizzly Bear= Brian Eno ,David Byrne
Decemberists= Jethro Tull
I see your point but some of the comparisons may be a stretch, but are they really? The fact is music will always be influenced from decade to decade and sometimes not directly. Almost anybody who loves music will always be influenced by the icons(ex. Lennon/McCartney. That is what makes music so great is their interpretation of sound. Much like fashion!
