Funny, but I remember reading the Entertainment Weekly review of AMNESIAC and the reviewer talked more about Yes than Radiohead. He said Yes were great, but pushed their fans' loyalty just a little too far with TALES and were never the same since. He said that Radiohead has done the same thing. After wowing us all with OK COMPUTER and then pushing the envelope with KID A, they pushed the envelope just a little too far on AMNESIAC and he wondered if they'd ever be the same. He cited other examples of artists going too far, like Joni Mitchell's jazz album, but he said he used Yes because, and I quote, "Radiohead are prog-heads at heart."


I think Radiohead likes prog, but they have an image to maintain (it's all about image), and therefore are constrained from admitting they like it.
