paranoid android is their proggiest piece. but they arent a prog band who write prog music. they are just inspired by prog and use some of the genres elements occasionally.

I voted No...I wouldn't say they were Prog.

Righto.....

Best part about Radiohead - the message, if you grasp it. It's anything but boring.

You obviously know nothing of Buckethead, and write me back when you do.

I listened to Radiohead religiously and loved everything they did, until I realized how morose and pretentious a lot of their music is. I found there is music out there that is rooted in a greater concept of POSITIVE. I thought Radiohead was the greatest band at one point too, but hey, you go ahead and keep you mind shut.

Radiohead's music is not progressive.... I believe that they make "alternative music" but not progressive music...

RadioHead have said that they hate prog rock ( think they said this around the time of OK computer). I still like them though!

Is this still going on?

Listen to Kid A or Amnesiac (particularly), then tell me you don't hear strong Can influences - and not a trace of "Alternative Rock". Both albums are pure prog - and I hear definite Barclay James Harvest/Pink Floyd influences on "OK Computer".

Even though Radiohead hate the term prog - I know they do, since I know their manager - it does not mean that their music isn't prog. King Crimson didn't describe "ITCOTCK" as a prog album when they released that either.

Anyway, they're a sight more prog than Asia or Uriah Heep

All the best prog bands dont label thier music at all. i kind of find people getting insulted when you call thier music "progressive rock" pretentious and annoying, but a lot of great artists do it. Part of being progressive is not paying attention to any sort of boundries, this is what bands like spocks beard and the flower kings lack.

Personally I think Radiohead has some prog albums. Are they always the best? No. They are quite inconsistent. But I also think they have some really cool--and proggy--stuff, too. I do think they should be here, and I wish people would behave a bit more maturely about this (especially those who seem to be doing the zero-star reviews en masse just for the hell of it).
