It's not a stretch at all, theres more to prog that just the nerdy stuff like Rush and ELP. Radiohead are heavly influenced by krautrock, and yes that is considered progressive rock.
I'd certainly consider Kid A progressive rock to some extent. And it's very easy to draw comparisons between songs like Paranoid Android and 2 + 2 = 5 and the work of say John Wetton era King Crimson.

Wow, thats even a more retarded term than art pop, where in the hell are you getting these?
So now I know I'm arguing with a closedminded fool.

Incidentally "pigeonholed" comparison and my original thoughts are miles apart. By that definition you gave, ANY band that a person felt sincerely fanatical about is above personal classification. I don't buy that for a second. The term "deserve" is mighty subjective.

Thats a bunch of crap. If you think Radiohead are just a by the numbers pop band you're out of your mind.
