It'll probably always be The Bends for me but In Rainbows is not far behind it. Just love that album.

Nice. I always found this one to be very underrated. Some of my favorite songs are on it.

The Bends. As others have stated, every song on that album is amazing. I don't think I listed to any other non-Beatles/Floyd album as many times all the way through.

Listened to Amnesiac today about 3 times. It is by far my favorite.

Most of y'all are saying The Bends or OK Computer, but I think it really has to do with when you were introduced to Radiohead. I suppose I was late in the game - Karma Police caught my ear first, but then all of Kid A just blew my mind.

Starting to listen to them mid career I'd have to say
1 Kid A
2 Hail to the Thief
3 In Rainbows

And as far as when to catch them on tour... 2006 before In Rainbows came out. Their Bonnaroo set with 28 songs and 2.5 hours will forever be ingrained in my head.

+1

I had, of course, heard electronic-based music before, but Kid A changed the way I listened to it

Totally disagree. 2+2=5, Sit Down Stand Up, Go To Sleep, There There, A Punchup at a Wedding, Myxomatosis, and A Wolf At the Door are all Radiohead classics and some of their best songs.

and the most underrated Radiohead song of all time (which is actually a b-side )

Call me crazy, but I like the newer stuff better than the old. I'd go with King of Limbs, then In Rainbows, then the rest...

as i age, i've become more partial to the bends.
it's the final great moment for 90s alt-rock.
ok computer is brilliant, but the bends is perfect.
i think amnesiac is underrated, but the king of limbs is boring.

radiohead knows they can do anything now and people will gobble it up. it was better when they were sad and thought no one cared. at least, then, they wrote interesting songs.
