Despite being a big DT fan myself, I totally agree with the above statement in that Radiohead are seen as Art Rock as opposed to Prog and lets face it, listening to Radiohead is really what prog Rock should all be about as Radiohead are extremely progressive and constantly seek to evolve.
Whereas DT, are very much a combination of some of my favourite prog/rock bands of the 70's and 80's. 50% of their music sounds like Kansas in their prog era and the other 50% a combination of Rush with elements of Toto, all this mixed in with a metal feel supposedly equals Progressive Metal. In fact the metal aspect to their music is probably the only really progressive thing in their music but then again they are not an metal group, so the progressive metal label could be seen as being totally inaccurate.
