Bit late but, how the fudge are Radiohead NOT progressive? We're talking about a band who evolved from a typical 90's indie rock band to a band that fully took their influences and made a sound that was completely their own, a mesh of electro, rock, krautrock and all sorts. There's so many aspects to their music that it's impossible to judge them on just one album, just look at the trip-hop based Kid A or the (pretty impressive) mess of ideas that is Hail To The Thief.
You could probably get away with calling them a pop band if you look at their early big singles but dig deeper and you have a band that is striving to evolve and has genre-splitting songs coming out of their ears.
