Influence is only one set of criteria. What about creativity, originality, musicianship, songwriting, impact...etc. As for Radiohead being an influence, I've heard it many bands ranging from Sigur Ros, Travis and Muse to Kashmir and The Forgotten Army. Also the term "post rock" is so loosely applied that it has about the same effect as the term "pop". Mogwai has even rejected the label "post rock". Some would even argue that Bark Psychosis or Tortoise were the true pioneers of post rock.
