Although I actually consider them my favourite band and a five star artist.
Yeah I used to spend numerous amounts of time acquiring radiohead bootlegs and listen to alternate versions of their songs and listen to live bootlegs to get an idea of their new material before their album is released. Nowadays though, I'm more interested in listening to new music instead of being obsessive about a single band and I was incredibly disappointed with King Of Limbs and so my fanaticism has muted a little bit.
Still, I would consider their B-sides to be at least a 2 star band, maybe even 3 star (if you treat the 2nd CD of the special edition of Radiohead rereleased to be independent albums). Hell make a best of compilation of their b-sides and fill out 80 minutes of their best b-sides and I'll easily give it a very high 13/D.
