I heard Creep when they first came out and thought that was great. I have Hail to the Thief and OK Computer and have found both to be OK, nothing great.

I've wondered if this has to do with how people listen to music differently. What matters most to me is how it sounds. Lyrics, to me, just aren't very important. (That means some of the songs I like have lame lyrics.) I listen to the voice as an instrument, how it sounds against the rest of the band, and his voice is kind of whiny. If Radiohead's lyrics are great, that could explain how other people find them great and I don't.
if you don't like them, you wouldn't like them no matter what we say

how are we to convince you otherwise?

but at least listen to Amnesiac
