I have tried on multiple occasions to give them a chance, listening to Ok Computer, Kid A and a few others, all of which i felt the same way.

Im sure i will be flamed madly for this, which all the Fanboys yelling you dont know what your talking about and there the last thing from boring... But to that i say nothing, because i can't, the music just sounds very dull and uneventful.

Edit: Another thing i can not stand about them, it there profound love for half acoustic half electronic drum tracks. I realize that is the style, but the mix of the two i feel does not mesh together well.
I couldn't agree more, I haven't LIKED a Radiohead album in years, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief (while highly anticipated) did ultimately nothing for me.

In Rainbows is more of the same, even when it starts to rock it just makes me want to listen to The Bends.

IR gets a resounding MEH.
