I've never understood the Radiohead love either. I remember way back when I was a freshman in HS and they were "that band that did 'Creep'", then they disappeared off my radar for a long time until the later 90's when I hear people talking about Bends and OKC being the greatest CDs evar (I didn't know those two albums existed until years after their releases). Everytime I try to listen to them though, there's something that fails to click with me, and I go back to whatever I was listening to before.
What's really strange is that, as far as I've seen, they're right up there with Tool in terms of the most mainstream underground (or is it most underground mainstream?) band I've ever seen
