My husband brought some of their cds to listen to on the road to Vermont and I think I've fallen in love...

We must have listened to "the bends" cd five times. :p:)

We have that one and OK Computer. Which ones should we buy next?

Does anyone have suggestions? :)

    I'm going to hazard a guess as to why she made the suggestion (I'm sorry if I'm wrong), but there's a HUGE difference between the Bends and their "newer" records like Kid A.

    OK Computer is by far my favorite and is a nice segue between old and new, but if you're looking for more like the Bends, you might not be so excited about the others.....

    Like catefrances said though, I would definitely go In Rainbows next. Of the new ones, since OK Computer, it's the most user friendly.

    That being said, you are in for a treat! If you're into their new stuff, they will continue to blow your socks off each and every time you listen to their records, no matter how many times you've heard it before!!!

    Have fun, enjoy the ride! :)

    Kid A is my fav Radiohead record, so I suggest getting that one. But if you're really having a hard time picking one buy the two disc greatest hits. It covers all bases except In Rainbows.

    welcome to the club, they're a great band.

    i've been listening to OK Computer more often though, Lucky and Climbing up the Walls are just two incredible songs.

    even behind pablo honey??

    hail to the thief is a really great album- There There, 225, go to sleep, where i end and you begin, and a wolf at the door alone make it incredible, the other songs are great too but some of them are definitely fillers (The Gloaming...)

    IMMEDIATELY go out and buy:
    KID A
    AMNESIAC
    HAIL TO THE THIEF
    IN RAINBOWS
    Put these four albums in their own playlist and hit shuffle. In my opinion, they keep getting better with each album, thus, these are their four best albums to date.

    Admittedly funny, but I love 15-step. Great song.
