anyway, he's pissed in it at a gf going out-of-town to see Coldplay, who, IIRC, is described as a lame imitation of Travis, who is a lame imitation of Radiohead. 2nd generation imitation of awesome is rarely good.

Always enjoy meeting some of you guys, as every SE poster I've met so far has been very cool.
that's one way of putting it

Anyway, you've miscategorized the fanbase. I'm none of those 3 and yet radiohead is far and away my numba 1 band. They are also a band for people who just love great music. Why all the hate?
that was way too easy guys

They're a band who has changed their sound several times. Creep is emblematic of their first album(and the era it was released/recorded in), their second album is something you'd probably like. Better lyrics, still really rocking, closer to some of the Brit Pop/Rock albums coming out of this time, but one of the best of the era. Then the next 2 (OK Computer and Kid A) are regarded as their best two by most, 1a/1b on a lot of lists. Worth a listen, if you don't like it, you certainly don't have too. Probably a decent chance you don't love it right away and might come back to it later, know a lot of people who have done that.

The Bends and OK Computer are both amazing albums for me, the rest are meh/whatever/spew.

Is that one of their new ones? I haven't heard it yet. They have been making music for 30 years, so you're gonna get some duds in there.

Love Radiohead, but can understand when people don't like their music. (And not in the douchey pretentious way)

I'm not a radiohead fan, actually a bit of a hater overall, but this is their clear best work imo:
