We are comparing apples and oranges here.
Nirvana was the start of a movement. They were among a number of bands who brought rock out of the dark ages of hair metal. They were good musicians but its the aura of the band that gets praised on top of kurts tragic death. But to be honest out of the grunge movement they werent even the best band. I believe alice in chains and soundgarden are better overall bands.
Radiohead are undoubtably more complex and more skilled on the instruments(except for the drumming but even then its close). Radiohead through the years have changed their style numerous times and still turn out great music be it rock or electronic.
To put into perspective if kurt would of never died nirvana would not of been great forever. They were one dimensional and would of died out like the other grunge bands.
So on a pure musicianship i vote radiohead
