Aside from being influenced by the Beatles (like pretty much everything to come after them) SP is not like them at all. Radiohead might be a little more like Pink Floyd because they are the weird experimental band that managed to be immensely popular anyway, but ultimately they aren't that similar either. Bad analogy.
Ultimately there is no band from generation x that comes close to matching the cultural power and musical influence/creativity of The Beatles. Nirvana comes closest because they got so big so fast and shaped the aesthetic of the early 90s in a lot of ways.
