Never got why they were so big until recently.

Karma Police

Fake Plastic Trees

High And Dry

All great songs. Still haven't heard that much of them to be honest.

What is the name of the song with the lyrics..."Faaaaaaade oouuutttt..Aggaaaaaiiiiinnnn.."

Cobbo?

Radiohead--wonderful group.. Thom is such a great songwriter that the group pretty much has a blank check when it comes to recording.

OK Computer is at the pinnacle of pop music crafstmanship and it still sounds excellent after almost a decade. It is, without a doubt, my favorite album of the 90s.

As for their newer releases... call it what you want, but underneath all their experimenting, their songs are still solid. If you're looking for a dark atmospheric sound, there's Kid A, although you won't get your money's worth because there are a few tracks that aren't really songs, just sounds. When I first heard Amnesiac, I dismissed it as strange crap left over from Kid A that didn't quite make the cut. However, when I dug it out a year later and gave it another listen, I was taken by surprise--most of the songs on it are, well, songs! It is much more accessible than I thought. If you want something that will cause you to shiver, listen to "Pyramid Song." But if you feel like bouncin' a little, put on "I Might Be Wrong"--perhaps the only Radiohead song to which, if you try hard enough, you could probably dance.

Hail to the Thief isn't exactly the "OK Computer II" that we were all hoping for (both in terms of sound and quality) but it is still a good album indeed and there's a lot of variety on it.

If I had to rank Radiohead albums, it'd go like this (from best to worst):

OK Computer

Amnesiac

Hail to the Thief

The Bends

Kid A

Pablo Honey

(...and I do enjoy all of those albums with the possible exception of Pablo Honey, to which I almost never listen besides when "Creep" comes on the radio.)

Nah, I don't buy into this Hail to the Thief business, it was shite and there were about 2 good songs on it, the rest was poor (IMO).

Amnesiac has got another 1-2 good songs on it, as I would expect from a band as good as Radiohead have proved to be, but for pure song quality and most importantly, songs that work even though they are probably deemed as being sometimes simple, I would have OK Computer and The Bends at the top, with Amnesiac 3rd, Hail to the Thief 4th and Kid A 5th.

Just to point out that 3rd-5th are still better than most of the crap churned out per year by the music industry.

I'd almost agree, but I'd swap The Bends with Amnesiac, I love The Bends.

The People's Hero, what you on about? You slagged my music taste about the fact that I bet I hate all artists when they reach the charts, but as well as lots of underground acts I love REM, U2, The Cure - best band ever - Bob Dylan, Joy Division and of course Radiohead...

Best Radiohead stuff is their experimental stuff:-

1. Kid A

2. OK Computer

3. Amnesiac

4. The Bends

5. Pablo Honey

6. Hail to the Thief

Nuff said !!

Yup. Finally did it. I very much enjoyed "The Bends", but would not put it before "OK Computer". It will stay second on my list.

Still a quality album. Very melodic.

Pfft you all know Kid A is the best Radiohead Album..

Kid A

OK Computer

Amnesiac
