What exactly is AOR about Airbag, Climbing the Walls or Paranoid Android? And could you please define "proper exponents of prog"?

Prog or not prog is irrelevant to me but Kid A/Amnesiac is more progressive than every single one of your post classic era favorite albums (according to your ratings). You should all check them out before you feel you have a right to an opinion.
But if prog is a defined genre with rules to follow (which would be absurd) and not progressive rock I guess your list of pompous retro prog/generic prog metal is what's real prog.

Prog to me is a willingness to experiment, to expand the boundaries, seek the new. Ironically, a lot of music classified as prog because of its execution, is often a style simply copied from other prog bands, not new or experimental at all. It should be a principle, not a style.
Regarding Radiohead, if I have a criticism of the band, it would be that they experiment too much, and keep losing direction and shape. But that does mean that regardless of the quality of the results, it is pure exploration and, in my books, that would clearly classify them as Prog.

I guess that this is as close to a Radiohead appreciation thread that there is out there. SPIN magazine has an article which includes 10 different artists covering Radiohead's Creep. I thought that someone out there might enjoy this.

Radiohead is a fantastic band. I don't really care if they're prog or not.
And yes, I agree they're similar to Floyd in some aspects. And Floyd is my favorite band. I don't think Radiohead has ever come close to something like "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "Echoes" but still they did some amazing albums and songs.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

About the topic, I don't think that Radiohead is a prog rock band. People who likes neo-prog more than I do may have a different opinion, but I can't understand Radiohead as prog.
There is no connection with Neo Prog and Radiohead. And I will compare them with Pink Floyd. There is some of there stuff with a Floydian sound. Like it or not.
Radiohead similar to Floyd? You're kidding, right?
