Wayne Coyne says Radiohead could go mainstream but choose not to

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, talking to Pierre Perrone of The Independent at a show in Lynchburg, Tennessee, says people tend to put his band and Radiohead in the same progressive rock bracket.

I believe Radiohead could make a record that was more mainstream.

Radiohead could be on the radio and MTV, he says, and deliberately go the other way. The Flaming Lips just do whatever they can, and are always surprised when they get played.
