Let me clarify my initial post...
I didn't really get into Radiohead until after The Bends came out (early '95). I personally think Amnesiac is their best record...the songs are fantastic. Now, are they the greatest thing since sliced bread? Nah. I don't drool over them like the critics do...I don't think I've seen a band get such critical praise since REM. It's almost scary. But I would say that Radiohead are one of the best bands to come out in the past 25 years.
Seeing Dave's post made me think of something that parallels what he said. I used to think Trent Reznor was the greatest thing ever...I would listen to Broken so much during high school that it bordered ridiculous. I still like NIN...love 'em...but not like I did then (10 years ago).
