Yes they are. Discuss why, and also why they aren't if you think they aren't, but you'll be wrong.
Yes, they're incredibly overrated. I fail to understand what's so special about them.
I've tried to get into them on several occasions but have failed each time.
My friends that like them always tell me to listen to In Rainbows but when I do I just...don't get into it.
Completely indifferent. I don't listen to them myself. They never struck me as "absolutely amazing" or anything.
So yeah, I guess I could say they're overrated.
I never got why they are so popular either, I've tried listening to them on a few seprate occasions and didn't think they were anything special.
yes they are
their songs are boring as intercourse and the lyrics aren't mindblowing or anything
tbh the only song i can stand to listen to is Creep, although that's the UGH TOO MAINSTREAM song the rest of their songs put me to sleep
Oh yes god I intercourse ing hate the Radio Heads...more like Radio Fags! Music just hasn't been the same since the seminal metal band, Bequeath my Sorrow to the Realm of the Dead, died committing ritual suicide on stage with a bladed metal crucifix. Now it's all sheep following castrated sheep cranking out mindless derivative garbage with no instrumental talent or creativity, like these Radio Fags and their vagina-y, cookie-cutter songs like Idioteque. Hey faggot, you sound like a girl! What a vagina-y! You get an F for faggot, faggot!
Yes. Yes they are. OK Computer is horrible. As is The Bends.
THAT BEING SAID...having forced myself to listen to most of their albums to more effectively combat the arguments of their more cultish fans...
Kid A, while still insanely overrated, is an interesting listen. Idioteque (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNqv3nHyteM) in particular is amazingly good.
The second half of The King of Limbs is pretty good (skip over all the songs before Lotus Flower).
House of Cards (http://www.youtube.com/user/radiohead?blend=7&ob=5#p/u/0/8nTFjVm9sTQ) off of In Rainbows is also pretty good.
Important note about music: influential does not necessarily equal good. Same kind of rule apples with Nirvana, Sex Pistols, Slayer, and several other bands that are considered one of of the most important in their respective genre.

This pretty much sums it up.
Yeah, the only good album by The Radio Heads is Pablo Picasso but then they sold out and started experimenting like a bunch of fags using xylophones and computers and imaginary instruments like "Ondes Martenots" (which were probably named after some illegal immigrant Thom blew for booze money). Hey faggot, I'm not going to pay for you to be innovative! Drop the poop and go back to making music that sounds like all my other music. If I wanted poop to grow on me I'd intercourse a whore with yeast like Thom's mother.
