i'm also with you. but i still give ok computer a pretty much perfect ranking.

I like the Bends but it is not my favorite. Perhaps it will be one in the future.

It was Ok Computer that hooked me for good. And I have to say that every album forward just had become more and more amazing to me. I like the electronics. I like the songs that people might think are fluff. I am also enjoying Thom's new album but it's just buying my time while I sit and wait and wait for the new album. At least I got to see them this summer. That was a lot of fun.

except pablo honey, amesiac, and hail to the thief.

those are pretty mediocre if you ask me. (compared to kid a, the bends,ok comp)

amnesiac is basically a b-sides record so that's a gimme..

Pablo honey is... mediocre.

HTTT is beautiful. I fucking love that record.

All the Radiohead studio albums are great in their own way, and I'm embarrassed to admit just how often I listen to each of them as I go about my day. What I'm really enjoying right now are the new song compilations floating around that people have pieced together from the live recordings of the 2006 tour. It makes me positively giddy to think about what these are going to sound like after they're tweaked in the studio.

somebody on here awhile back said that radiohead planted their place in rock history with Ok Computer and I guess they forgot that they did that WAY back with Creep off Pablo Honey.

You're probably right.

Do you want to get a song stuck in your head?

If anyone can track down the Bends b-side called "The Trickster" I would highly recommend doing so.

While we're on the subject (were we?) watch this video ... all the way to the end. Because I said so.

i consider the bends, ok computer, and kid a as sort of the "perfect" radiohead album trilogy. to me there is just no wrong on any of those records.

Well said.

Radiohead is even superior to Pearl Jam live on occasion. Brilliant live band.

I only wish they had put knives out and paranoid android on there.

ok, on the topic of kid a... how is it perfect.

specifically, who wants to explain treefingers to me? im seriously open to opinions from radiohead diehards. cos i heard it on the way to school.

how is this a great "song"? it's not even a song. it's noise. almost 4 minutes of an electronic hum. no rhythm, no tune, no words, no discernible instruments. well, i take that back, i MIGHT have heard a few piano notes being played. but other than that... just a buzz in the back of my head. how is that genius music? how is it groundbreaking? i really want to know, maybe im missing something.

It's kind of like Pink Floyd's "On The Run".

I can't explain it any further than that, you either 'get it' or you don't.

i love treefingers. i think it's a lovely segue into the second half of kid a. if you're not into it then you've made up your mind. that's just how you hear it. it's one of the few ambient sort of pieces i've heard that i really enjoy hearing.

the reason that The Bends is their best album can be summed up in four words:

street

spirit
