It's funny that some people find it so appalling when people don't jizz at the thought of Radiohead's music. They really are not anything special, at least not special enough to act like you have better taste than somebody who does not.
I think that's why it is quite mind boggling to some people when that happens.
I do agree about the "better taste" thing though. The test band for that is Godspeed You Black Emperor.

They're special to you, not to me. No band is exempt from criticism, and no band is above their station.
Every musical act will be special to someone be that act The Spice Girls or Radiohead.
Just because people don't like 'em doesn't mean they don't get 'em.

But not getting a band is something no one is willing to admit anyway.Certain types of criticism can tell you if someone just doesn't like them, of if they don't get them.

Yet one person 'getting' a band will no doubt be different from another persons, whose to say whose right?
I'm not to concerned with how people perceive my dislike of Radiohead, after all it's not going to change my perception of them. Plus I'm sure Radiohead fans don't see the fuss about similarly held bands (Tool, Opeth, Rush, The Melvins Mr. Bungle et. all).

Yeah, they are special, though. They are quite unique and very versatile, factually. Whether you like them or not, you'll have to admit their ability and creativeness.
Probably, not what I am talking about though.
Also, arguable, but again, not what I said. I just said they are special and I now add that they are quite gifted. You don't have to like them, but to deny facts is pretty ludicrous.
