It's amazing that In Rainbows is gonna be ten years old. This record still feels fresh as it was in 2007. I wonder if someone was crazy enough to pay a whole lot of money when it came out? But whatever, this record is filled with tight and raw performances alongside emotionally charged vocals and lyrics. Nude is one of Thom's finest vocal performance and such leaving you feeling those emotions in the end. Jigsaw Falling Into Place is gotta to be best song they have ever written. Everything what I love this band can be condensed into this track. Thom's vocals, tight performances, the guitars, the incredible build up and climax that looks like it gonna explode doesn't leaving you feeling of uncertain of what will happen next. And that continues with the closer Videotape with this this odd drum pattern accompanying the piano while Thom laments about his final hours on Earth.

Yes, The Bends is my second favorite Radiohead album. A significant record in terms of songwriting with Fake Plastic Trees having this amazing build up that Coldplay's The Scientist followed (although that is a great song). The amazing triple guitar barrage is demonstrated in the title track or Just where Jonny Greenwood would shows his skills (and work well with 4 other amazing musicians). Thom Yorke is a more captivating lead singer with Fake Plastic Trees, Black Star, and Street Spirit. So why it is second place? Well, there's still a little bit of angst inside this one like Pablo Honey but done in a more sophisticated fashion. And like Pablo Honey, this connected with the teenager inside of me when that supposedly disappeared when I reached my 20s. In the end The Bends is the starting point of the band that we all know and love.

Surely one of the most important records of the last 20-25 years? One of the greatest of all time? Maybe. This and The Bends was kind of responsible for spawning bands like Muse and Coldplay (Whether's that good or bad, is up to you). When you hear the climax of Exit Music would surely leave a big effect on you like those bands. Or the incredible guitar playing in Paranoid Android or Electioneering which shows what Jonny Greenwood is capable of. It's heard not to see why people love this album (albeit giving too much love). Happy 20th OK Computer.

Without doubt Kid A is one of the best examples of a band taking a radical direction and succeeding. The opening notes on Everything In Its Right Place surely gives you the goosebumps and keeps you there for much of the record whether through the haunting ballad How to Disappear Completely, the burning impassionate vocals on Idioteque (where I swore Thom was about to snap at the end), or the amazing band performances on Optimistic. Kid A is one of the craziest records by a popular group in the 21st century. I'll also have to thank this record for developing my interest into Aphex Twin and Actechtre.

A Moon Shaped Pool is pretty much the record that defines a slow-burner. Was skeptical for the first couple of listens but soon I was rectified by the fourth. The likes of Daydreaming, Glass Eyes, and Identikit have become personal favorite Radiohead songs. These tracks are bleeding with emotions which was something that I found King of Limbs was lacking in. I'm glad they made this album showing they can still make amazing songs.

Hail to Thief had a lot of promise. It had more standout tracks in my opinion and it was kind of taking on this amalgamation of all its predecessor. But there were a few tracks was feeling eh and could have made the listing better (like others said). But Hail to the Thief is good enough to be worth checking out.

Ah, Kid A's twin, unfortunately I'm not crazy about you as others are. I don't think you as cohesive as Kid A is but you still have some stand out tracks that makes you stand on your own. So here, take 7th place.

Pablo Honey gets unjust hate among Radiohead fans. If you look at this record by itself, this is a decent 90s alternative rock album. Yes, the band had yet to fully develop their sound and confidence in songwriting. It was hinted in Blow Out with it's noisy climax. And while the album may be infested with some really angsty tracks, they do speak to teenage Aaron to a degree.

Some of you might be freaking out on my placement of this album. My reason for putting this low is the fact it didn't feel like there's something special in it. With Radiohead, I would expect a few tracks to stick out even after a few listens. Where tracks like Lotus Flower or Separator are pretty but I don't imagine them becoming personal favorites of mine.
