Karma Police is one of my favorite songs of all time. But, I can't never finish Ok computer or in the rainbows without wanting to jump out my window. What do guys think? Am I missing something?

You either get it or you don't.

My roommate is a huge Radiohead fan, but like javeryh said, I just don't get it. I think some of their music is pretty damn good, but their lead singer is absolutely horrible.

Kinda like opera, except fewer people get it.

Weird, I literally just put Radiohead on to listen to then I find this thread.
I like them, Kid A, OK Computer and Amnesiac are my favourites.

Not at all. Though I didn't care much for In Rainbows (I did love The Reckoner though).
But aside from their first 2 or 3 albums, they're not for everyone as they're not very accessible.

I found maybe 2 good songs from all their albums... I don't get it.

I didn't "get" Radiohead when I was 14, but I was stupid when I was 14. I now know that they're awesome.

Like I said:

Thom Yorke's voice is PERFECT for the band and their sound.
The Bends, OK Computer, In Rainbows, Kid A and Amnesiac are all on the short list of greatest albums ever.

That's the best way of putting it. They are a very unique band, and because of that, they are going to have some people that love it and a ton of people that just don't get it at all.
And "whiney moaning" isn't exactly how I would describe Thom's voice. That makes it sound emo.

Good catch Myke, we all know it's because of the Democrats.
