I think that Kid A and In Rainbows are their best albums, they have their most interesting aesthetic qualities and they might be my favorite modern mainstream radio rock band. OK Computer and Amnesiac are excellent too. I actually like all of their albums. I even have a soft spot for Pablo Honey, Creep is awful but the album has quite a few great and well-composed rock songs with melodic character. Even though it's probably their worst album I think that it would have been more respected if it was made by some britpop band who broke up right after its release.

i listened to a lot of radiohead during my formative years. a lot. i've probably listened through every one of their albums upwards of a hundred times each. i know them like the backside of my stratocaster.

now, the albums i return to when i need radiohead? hail to the thief. amnesiac. the king of limbs (it really does grow on you if you put the time into it).

all of their albums have merit to them. i remember being obsessed with the bends back in the day, but now, it's probably the last album of theirs i'd listen to (even after pablo). pablo at least holds some mystery for me for lack of exposure. i've just talked myself into listening to that later today. no. not later. now. ok, now.

in all fairness, pablo honey was written/recorded in a very short time span due to creep's success, a song they don't even own writing credits for. they'd just finished college and were screwing around. it was all a mess, but it's quite charming nonetheless. the bends, on the other hand, feels generic and contrived (save for street spirit, just and fake plastic trees).

eh. my two cents.

i know half of you want this conversation to die. i apologize for perpetuating your annoyance.
