« Customer Service | Main | Review: Family Guy S6 Ep1 - "Blue Harvest" »
I have been listening to every bit of Radiohead I have on constant rotation for the past 4 days. This is how In Rainbows fits into their album discography, in my opinion, in order of awesomeness.
OK Computer
The Bends
In Rainbows
Pablo Honey
Hail To The Thief
Kid A
AmnesiacAnyone who disagrees with me can do so in the comments, even though you're quite plainly mistaken.

WRONG!
Not arguing with 1 or 2 but Hail to the Thief has to be 3rd, then Pablo Honey, then In Rainbows in 4th.
Kid A and Amnesiac I can never decide on so I'd give them joint 6th status.

As I already said, "you're quite plainly mistaken".
I agree that Hail To The Thief and Pablo Honey are so close to each other in awesomeness that perhaps I should have given them joint 4th, but I place In Rainbows above both of them (after listening to it a LOT).
I prefer Kid A to Amnesiac, therefore 6th and 7th respectively.

Just got the download last night so only listened to it once. But I'll argue, despite being plainly wrong that The Bends is their worst record and should be in last place IMHO.
I know this is an unpopular view but it is based on my years in early University walking into bars and hearing every band do an awful cover version of the title track.
Plus, I mean... Tracks like Planet Telex, Bones, Black Star are just plain crap.
Pablohoney was a far superior record.
OK Computer FTW!!!

I haven't heard the new one yet, but if you've put it above Pablo Honey then I really ought to give it a listen.
Hail to the Thief and Kid A impressed me so much that I can't even remember which I own: I think I have Kid A, I might have both. I definitely didn't get Amnesiac.

Here, I've fixed that list for you :
1. Amnesiac
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer
4. In Rainbows
5. Hail To The Thief
6. The Bends
7. Pablo Honey
It's actually pretty damn close for numbers 1 to 4. All utterly fantastic albums. 5 to 7 are in the right place though.
Fact.

I d/l'd the new one but have only listened to it once so far. I'll give it the time it deserves.
'The Bends' is one of the most consistent albums I've ever heard, I think it shares an uneasy first/second status with OK Computer. I love Black Star. I hate people who say FTW!!!
I think Kid A and Amnesiac had one good album between them. I call it 'Kid Amnesiac' and it's really good, I'll send you the tracklisting!
HttT was alright. Pablo Honey made no impression on me. They wanted to sound like every other postgrunge indie band, and...they did!

Michael, apologies my spam-catching ninja cyborgs kicked your comments in the goolies and were holding them under strict quarantine. I have released them back into the wild.
And also, you're very clearly mistaken. Amnesiac is the best album? What are you like, on heroin or something?
