Anyways, I'm sure there were people who thought the Beatles sucked back when they were around too. Obviously they were wrong. Radiohead's music will stand the test of time as well.

Yeah definitely. I think every Radiohead thread should come with a disclaimer "Just because you heard No Surprises, Creep, and Karma Police on the radio doesn't mean you can comment on how sad and slow they are."
What most people I've found hate about Radiohead is they will take what they do and themselves seriously when making albums and a lot of people hate that. The band has a strong artistic drive that they don't apologize for, which a lot of people find pretentious. I find it refreshing.
Also, a lot Radiohead's songs are meant to be ironic. When asked about the lyric in the song
The Bends 'I wish it was the sixties', Thom Yorke said "no i don't ****ing wish it was the sixties" but they are purposefully vague and subtle about that fact because they feel like people should be able to figure that out by themselves. Yorke is a bit of **** like that.
