An excellent band. Innovative and always interesting. The outstanding The Bends and OK Computer were difficult to live up to, but they have maintained a very high standard since. Seen them live 3 times and they are a superb live band as well. A British treasure.

I can’t thank Radiohead enough for the influence they have had on my appreciation for music as an art form where accessibility and popularity are secondary to their pursuit of artistic expression. Of course they haven’t forgone pop accessibility but they have fully recognised the fortunate position that they are in due to their popularity to able to expand their sound and progress their musical talents. From grungy guitar, to haunting acoustics, to sparse piano, to atmospheric samples and guitar layerings, to electronica, to jazz rhythms, to classical composition and orchestral accompaniments they really have stretched themselves and continue to challenge our perspective of popular music. They are incredible too for the fact that the 5 original members remain after nearly 30 years together and every studio album is absolute quality. They have remained relevant throughout and I can’t think of another band that has come close to doing that.

My order for their albums differs mainly in that I am fully enamoured by The King of Limbs and don’t really understand the indifference to it.

1/ OK Computer - Exit Music, Paranoid Android, Let Down etc etc
2/ Kid A - How to Disappear, Ideoteque, Everything In it’s Right Place
3/ In Rainbows - Reckoner, Nude, Weird Fishes
4/ The Bends - Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit, Just
5/ A Moon Shaped Pool - Daydreaming, Decks Dark, Ful Stop
6/ The King of Limbs - Codex, Bloom, Separator
7/ Hail to the Thief - There There, Sail to the Moon, Where I End
8/ Amnesiac - Pyramid Song, Pakt Like Sardines, I Might Be Wrong
9/ I Might Be Wrong (live) - Like Spinning Plates, True Love Waits, National Anthem
10/ Pablo Honey - Creep, Stop Whispering, Thinking About You

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

I discovered Radiohead this past year, who are my current favorite band. Filled with a deep discography, Radiohead has progressed tremendously throughout their career. Also, their transition from alternative to experimental rock is unlike another artist or band.

Favorites (in order): Kid A, OK Computer, In Rainbows, A Moon Shaped Pool, The Bends, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, The King of Limbs, Pablo Honey

Great band

1. Kid A
2. Amnesiac
3. OK Computer
4. Hail to the Thief
5. A Moon Shaped Pool

This band is definitely one of my all time favorites.

I wish I could say I was different in saying this but I think it's almost certain this band will remain my favourite forever.

I hear often the criticism that Radiohead are far less experimental than their fanbase gives them credit for, and although this is true I don't think their intention was ever to create the most groundbreakingly experimental music. Like many music fans they are responsible for turning me away from the formulaic mainstream and to liking things that would have been outside my comfort zone and in that sense their the authors of my passion for music as a whole. It is pointless to measure them on purely their experimentalism and blend of genres alone; there are other bands for that. What I think Radiohead truely deserve credit for is using their immense fame and success to marry together the artistic and accessible in such a beautiful way. Here's my ranking of their discography but please check out my notes to my favourite of theirs on my chart if you're a fan of Kid A <3
