I think Radiohead is far more musical in focus than the lyrical works PF is most famous for. Notice that Thom Yorke obscures his voice a lot of the time, and even when he doesn't he is not as clearly understandable as the Floyds. He uses his voice more like a musical instrument than anything.

But sometimes they get a bit close to Floyd-like pieces. Kid A has the most similarities, to my ear.

"How to Disappear Completely" reminds me of "Comfortably Numb" (especially the powerful, keyboard-heavy version on PULSE). I even did a story where I tied the two through the events of ITAOT; it's here on the forum.

"Idiotheque" sounds like a description of Mr. Waters--reminds me of Animals. Very fierce, lots of references to societal breakdowns...and a very interesting, disdainful stance towards weakness: "Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker?" Not to mention the spine-tingling line "Throw him in the fire, throw him on!"

"Morning Bell" and "In Limbo" could be similar to Mr. Barrett's later work (from "Jugband Blues") forward. "I'm lost at sea, don't bother me...you're living in a fantasy world." Not to mention the eerily familiar guitar at the end of "Morning Bell"...
