Radiohead just doesn't sound like the dreaded "DR" to me. Few of the bands from my formative years feel like they could hold that title. Pearl Jam is one major, major exception. Everything about them screams dad rock and has since about 1996.
My own father barely considers Radiohead music. Which is kind of weird because he's a Beatles guy, and if "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is music, surely just about anything is. I love that song, but it's just so weird, even compared to today's most experimental pop.
Coldplay is definitely dad rock. I don't think there's a "kid" on the planet who really loves that band.

That is because you are thinking of YOUR dad but haven't processed that we are not merely as old as our parents were when we were born, but many of us are as old as our parents were when we were in HIGH SCHOOL!!
Radiohead first album came out over 20 years ago..
Dad Rock is apt.
