Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

hmmm.......Amnesiac for me.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

meh, never gave it much of a chance, but i will do right now

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

The Bends, Amnesiac and OK Computer are all brilliant, and work in perfect fluffy harmony with each other.

My girlfriend thinks pablo honey is the best :S

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

hmmm, i went thru a pablo honey stage, just stuck amnesiac on, lovely! i can never decide between ok and bends, wot about songs...

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

oh you guys!

It's obviously OK Computer

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Kid A or Hail To The Thief

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

well it's OK Computer.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

OK Computer "Just" (see what I did there?) over The Bends.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Kid A all the way for me.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

The Bends by a million and one miles.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Absolutely right, Dom!
The Bends wins without question!

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Ok Computer...hands down.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

What alcxxk said ^

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

I like the live album.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

I hate this question, but probably Amnesiac. Its one of the most 'perfect' albums I've ever heard. It does similar things to me that Unknown Pleasures does.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

this is only slightly relevant but pretty belated but has anyone seen Bodysong and if so, any good?

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Yeah, I love Bodysong. Bit unsettling and spooky as you'd expect, not as good as anything Radiohead have done collectively though. Except Pablo Honey, of course.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

For its origianlity, Kid A. I think though, each album describes a moment perfectly, if you look at each album as to the point at which Radiohead were at the time, each album is the best.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

OK Computer for me.

Closely followed by Amnesiac.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Kid A. One of my favourite albums, though I don't think much of their other stuff.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

amnesiac or ok computer

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

kid a nut hail to the thief is coming up on its bleepy tail. its easy to forget how good radiohead are compared to other 'arena' bands around at the moment.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Hail To The Thief is my favourite
Kid A is the most essential
and OK Computer is the best

[/smartarse]

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Kid A is their msterpice imo but i do love ok computer as well, especially climbing up the walls

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

That's a very astute list Mr Zoo. I would be inclined to agree, except that I think they've surpassed OK Computer musically with Hail To The Thief, which is a real modern masterpiece. It might not pack the emotional punch of OKC, but it has a kind of gritting-teeth sense of defiance and resolution if you read between the line. I love it. I love this band. It's easy to forget how good they are.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Do me a favour and ignore the typos.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

Yeah "Hail to the Thief" is great. Easily my favourite record of 2003. Any band that can still make albums that great after releasing several of the most beloved records of all time just demands respect. Every two or three years they release another one and remind us just how far ahead of every other band in the world they actually are.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

The Bends is the easiest on my ears but I like Ok Computer aswell. If I had to choose though I'd stick to The Bends.

Re: Radiohead - Best Album???

The Bends, Ok Computer and Kid A. I can't narrow it down further than that.
Does I Might Be Wrong count? It's worth the price of admission for it's Spinning Plates and True Love Waits versions.
