The funny thing is that most people who dislike Radiohead proclaim them to be pretty safe, boiler-plate musicians and that "Band X" is much more adventurous.
I'll admit some Radiohead albums are like that though. And the fact that there are some Radiohead fans who actually think OK Computer is avant-garde in any sense of the word are really reading a lot into nothing... But I'd much rather see Radiohead garner the whole 'they're so unique!' status than any other band of their stature.
