I just realized that I still haven't listened to Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Most of his side-project stuff doesn't sound super different from Radiohead. Atoms for Peace was, like, funkier Radiohead, I guess. You can hear the difference, but if it were released as a Radiohead album, I wouldn't say "this sounds like a different band," I'd just say "oh I guess this is the style of this album because all of them are a little different."
The Eraser was pretty Radiohead-ish, I'm guessing the reason it was a solo thing was because Yorke made it all on his laptop, so it would be weird to put the entire band's name on it.
