Definitive Radiohead rankings
no-one else is allowed to do it any more because mine is objectively perfect. also im handsome |

The Bends
by far their worst tbh. Street Spirit is good though. |
| 12 |  | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Pablo Homey. I actually quite like this as a britpop-subverted artifact, and I maintain glimmers of what they'd do can be traced to referents here -- isn't there a whisper of Idioteque in Vegetable, Myxamatosis in Stop Breathing? -- but on the whole it's not gonna change ur life or anything |

In Rainbows Disk 2
Go Slowly and Last Flowers among the stand-outs here. Would In Rainbows be that rare thing, an album improved with more material and not less? This collection certainly makes a compelling case. |

In Rainbows
Radiohead go lounge rock, serenade and coo their way through ballads that wouldn't be out of place on a David Grey album. It kind of works. Best pub band you've never seen. |
| 9 |  | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
a hip-hop remix of this called HAIL II DA PICKPOCKET / a feminist interpretation called Hail to the Queef / when this album goes it's breath-takingly good |
| 8 |  | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Under-rated, including by me realistically. Furls and unfurls and coils and uncoils until ~that~ glorious resolution. In some ways their most cohesive statement as a band. |

OKNOTOK 1997-2017
the second disc is so good!!! like way more derivative -- i won't be the first or last to point out similarities to R.E.M. and Pixies especially, but also offers insight into how judiciously OK Computer was assembled, which is nice. |

8 Outtakes From Amnesiac
even the Kid A C-sides are amazing!!! |
| 4 |  | Radiohead
Amnesiac
can't remember a time this album wasn't incredible |
| 3 |  | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
to say i was not prepared for how good this would be is the understatement of the decade |
| 2 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
a hip-hop remix of this called Nigg A / Everything fits and flows. What looks like stammering or meandering has a pay-off tracks later. Curl up and have a good think. Lost count of how many times I've listened to it, co-equal only to the amount of times it's haunted me. Sublime. |

Radiohead / Coldplay
The paradigmatic, the epochal, the essential. Both bands are at their best here... PERFECT for Summer |
