Simple... Radiohead is my favorite prog band, Primus is not (neither my favorite nor prog). There's really no comparison between the two. As far as progressiveness, Radiohead has it hands down.

Radiohead is amazing, and albums from OK Computer to Amnesiac are as prog as you can get.
Primus... good musicians but it's all samey, and silly not in a good way... doesn't grab me, and certainly not as prog as Radiohead. |

Not a fan of any of these bands, but I really think that Primus has an experimental and heavy-prog stuff really interesting... I always think about Radiohead as a pop-melancholic-soft-prog band, with some touches of psychdelia... I have to vote for Primus...

I personally like Fearless Flying Frog Brigade better, but C2B3 is awesome as well.

If you have qualms about Primus, I suggest listening to Claypool's Solo Work. If that puts you off, then there's really no hope, but it's MUCH better than Primus. Much Better.

I can't stand Primus... funky, slappin' bass lines don't make music.... Odd rhythms don't make music.... A weird singer doesn't make music.... MUSIC makes music....Radiohead has much more of that.... Primus is the showing-off band of the alternative crowd....

I think Radiohead. Both are great bands, but Primus tends to embrace the metal/funk side of things rather than progressive elements other than outstanding musicianship.

Primus is the most proggy of those two, IMO.

Radiohead.
I can't stand Primus, I've seen them live a couple of times and couldn't detect anything prog (or musical).

Ok, Primus is a bit tough to listen to at times (esp. as background music when you're trying to do something else) but dang, there is no bass-player like Les Claypool. Talk about innovation and technique. All three are "progressive" in the truest sense of the word, exploring their instruments into areas where "no man has gone before."

As do I.
Primus if mainly for fun, kicks and giggles. Some interesting moments, and I do enjoy them, but his solo work is much, much better.
