    1. OK computer (perfection, heart wrenching, one of the greatest albums of all time)
    2. Kid A (radical and essential, though not the best road into their music)
    3. The Bends (not on level with OK Computer but some of these songs are fantastic, especially if you like "rockers")
    4. Amnesiac (same sessions as Kid A, some great songs but know there is some filler on this record)
    5. Hail To the Thief
    6. Pablo Honey

    Also, some of the B-sides from the Bends-OKC time are as good as the album tracks. Look for the Airbag and My Iron Lung EP's (not sure if either are in print).

    Amnesiac
    Hail To The Thief
    Pablo Honey
  • 1. OK Computer ( No album in my opinion since as been as orginal and so dam electrifying since it's release)

    2. The Bends ( every track is better than creep a quantum lead after Pablo honey)

    3. Kid A ( How to completly disappear is so Emotional, Idioteque is awesome)

    4. Amnesiac ( Dollars & Cents is just incredible and life in a Glasshouse a cracking close to a great album)

    5. Hail to the Thief (There There just gets better and better it just builds and builds until Johnny's guitar kicks in simply magnificent)

    6. Pablo Honey ( not really any evidence to suggest what brilliance was to follow, one of the most ordinary debuts from such a important band)

    I actually like Amnesiac quite a bit. Life in a Glass House is AWESOME!

    Here's my ranking:

    1. OK Computer
    2. Hail to the Thief
    3. Kid A
    4. Amnesiac
    5. The Bends
    6. Pablo Honey

    I'm just not a huge fan of their first two records. It might be because I got into them a little bit late.

    They are all great. This is true. All great for totally different reasons....which makes something like this extremely difficult. I'm gonna make it easier on myself and rank according to which ones I listen to the most. :p


    1. Kid A
    2. The Bends
    3. Amnesiac
    4. Hail to the Thief
    5. OK Computer
    6. Pablo Honey



    Some added random thoughts...

    ~Definitely one of my fav bands! They remind me of PJ in a lot of ways, the variety and approach to music making...and their sheer brilliance of course. :p

    ~Kid A holds a very special place in my heart

    ~OK Computer always seems to reign over all others for the hardcore fans although it never has with me, even though I do love the album very much, I've just never been on the same level as everyone else about it. I just find that interesting...always have.

    I'm with you, I don't understand all the hate for Amnesiac. I think it's a great album and I Might Be Wrong is one of my favorite Radiohead songs.

    OKC (every song pretty much a classic. Only 'Lucky' is a stumble, other than that - perfect)
    The Bends
    ... I think these two are far and away better than the rest of their stuff.

    Kid A (I dig the album art, and it is undeniably interesting musically, but the electronic vibe is too heavy for me to go back to it as much as either of the two records above. Just not the kind of music I prefer. I can see why others place it so high though.)
