I agree even though Amnesiac is actually the best Radiohead album.

Like I said, it's my favorite album ever...But it still bums me out to this day that they didn't use the 2006 tour version of Videotape. Here's Videotape from Bonnaroo in 2006, https://youtu.be/DTZt6Dzkq6w. Album version really misses that punch that Jonny Greenwood gave it in my opinion.

You are a madman.
It comes off strongly as "look at us, we art, listen to our uniqueness, we art, we so cool."
and the fans dont help because they're pretentious and very defensive.
Is that what you think TKoL is? Many people would disagree.

As much as I enjoy In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool, I really hope to see another sharply polarizing album like The King of Limbs out of them.

I personally think In Rainbows is the best Radiohead album as a whole. OK Computer and Kid A have a few of the best SONGS but as a whole In Rainbows I feel is the greatest.

Listened to it when I drove home for Christmas and I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see them in Atlanta.
People who use the word pretentious like this are really pretentious.
Also, just so we're all clear:
1. AMSP
2. Kid A
3. In Rainbows
4. Hail to the Thief
5. OK Computer
That is all.

If you think Radiohead is off-the-scales pretentious I don't even know what to say. They don't even come close to the hubris found in 70s prog rock. They've never even released a "rock opera".

Has anyone listened to the supercut with Ok Computer laced in? Essentially you take a ten second fade out at the end of every song and it leads into the corresponding next track of the cut. For example, track 1 of Ok Computet leads into track 1 of In Rainbows which then in turn leads into track 2 of Ok Compiter. Really cool stuff

house of cards could be like 3 minutes shorter :\
Doc Holliday
SPOILER: Columbus finds America
The fact that this album is a decade old blows my fucking mind.
Perfect album. I played this on a road trip with my mom and step-dad (Mom doesn't listen to music, step-dad pretty much just listens to talk radio) and they both would not stop talking about it. My mom asked me to buy her this album for Christmas the next year... She literally owns zero CDs.
It just sticks with people. Myself included.

My absolute favorite album by my absolute favorite band. No arguments here.
Fishes and Reckoner are mind blowing live.

I didn't notice a massive difference with mine, but it was a while back when I heard it on vinyl.
If only they were still pressing it on 45 rpm...

It's an amazing thing. Been listening to it for years and still find myself falling into hypnosis with some of the pure beauty presented in those songs. Amazingly enough, A Moon Shaped Pool is able to enchant me just as easily. Another amazing record. Going to see them in Portland OR in April for my birthday.
In Rainbows is great but the only Radiohead album I can safely say I adore that they released in the last decade is A Moon Shaped Pool. As far as best albums go though I have to sa-
Oh, someone already beat me to it.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Can't believe they practically gave it away for free too.
TKOL sounds like the making of an interesting idea that they were too timid to really go for.

I always skip Faust Arp and House of Cards (far too long).

It's Top 3, easily.
OK Computer is the best, btw.
When your b-sides include classics like Pearly*, Trickster, Cuttooth, and Talk Show Host, that's high praise indeed.

In Rainbows is great, but The Bends is still my #1 favorite Radiohead album
I would move the bends up to Tier 1 personally. That's one of the best 90s Rock records ever.

In Rainbows is my favorite album ever, and House of Cards still might be my favorite song ever too.
