I don't think his talent is wasted, unless you're actually saying that he appears to be a very talented guy in a merely average band. Then, I'd agree. Of course, 4/5ths of Radiohead appear to be very talented, and yet they make average music (except for a few songs that honestly are "brilliant").
I have to agree also that Thom is by far the weak link in that band. I don't mind his voice so much... but his solo record is terrible.
