What’s your top 3 nowadays? If you had to rank them



I think I’d go:



In Rainbows

Ok Computer

…. Umm



AMSP…?



Hard to decide cuz albums like Amnesiac have some of my favorite songs yet I don’t find them the most consistent

I think my full ranking would go something like this:



Kid A

Ok Computer

In Rainbows

The King of Limbs

A Moon Shaped Pool

Amnesiac

Hail to the Thief

The Bends

Pablo Honey



But even Pablo Honey is around the 3-3.5 range, so I at least like all of their albums

My full rankings aren’t too far off of yours, namely with HTTT and The Bends being on the lower end of the spectrum



But regardless it’s all awesome relatively speaking. My mom recently asked me what Radiohead songs were good aside from “Creep” and I had a good chuckle thinking about where to even start lol

I went with Jigsaw just as a good modern’ish jam for a non-Radiohead fan to jump into. She definitely enjoyed it

Yeah, it's tough knowing what to recommend to someone who's just starting their Radiohead journey... especially if their only reference point is Creep, which is so unlike most of their catalog. I think I'd probably just recommend going in chronological order, since Radiohead gradually incorporate less rock and more electronic elements throughout those first 4 albums

No way HttT is their worst with tracks like "There There", "Where I End and You Begin", "Sit Down, Stand Up", "The Gloaming" or "2 + 2 = 5". However, I see why it seems a bit bloated to most, could have been edited better imo.



Anyways, OKC feels a bit like a mutant dinosaur: coming from a distant age, but changing the landscape of contemporary music. It shook up grunge/britpop just like Dark Side of the Moon did with classic/psychedelic rock. Upon its release, many fans were fiercely arguing that it is weaker than The Bends. Time was on OKC's side, though. Eventually, everyone got fitter, happier....

'Anyone else think this is aging worse than Kid A?'

easily, not close. The Bends takes top spot for growing old disgracefully though, especially if we acknowledge the fact Pablo was never good to begin with

as we're doing it, again...

Kid A (5)

In Rainbows (4.5)

Amnesiac / TKOL (4.1)

OK Comp (3.9)

HTTF (3.3ish - hmm?)

The Bends (3)

Moon (2.7)

Pablo (2)

probably needs revising, but honestly I barely listen to most of these anymore

Agreed, the majority still had the bends as number 1 but OKC was without question my generations Darkside. Nevermind was the Nevermind the Bollocks.



There has been nothing quite like it since



90s >

The Bends is aging like a box of chocolates that got shunted under the sofa on an unknown Christmas and forgotten about, the packaging is intact though when you open it they've grown stale white spots, but somehow the praline centres are still good.



OK Computer is aging like the tin of pea and ham soup that's been in the back of the cupboard years past its use-by, no one is going to question it in a crisis as long as you give it a shake first and they probably aren't real pieces of ham anyway.

no hate here, I'm just disappointed

zak is not only a lover of all things 90s, he also hasn't updated his opinion on anything since. You have to admire the commitment to the cause if nothing else
