Poll question: Long time coming: Best Radiohead Album (eat your HEART out)
That's right.

If you've been really keeping up with the band, you know that they went Revolution #9 style for an album or two then came back stronger than EVER with "Hail to the Thief." Not to state my preference. But what's the best Radiohead album ever?

So much is owed to OK.

I just think they really "figured it out" for good with Hail to the Thief....

My Iron Lung
Just
Fake Plastic Trees

When you feel ready for more Avant-Garde stuff go for Kid A
and Amnesiac.

But none of these is reaches the heights of OK

5. Well, get it all.

They've had an interesting evolution, much like the Beatles.

You could go back a bit and hit the Bends, then forward to Kid A. Skip Amnesiac(a mistake). Then go to the beauty of Hail to the Thief.

6. Damn, I was the first vote for Kid A...
It is the only Radiohead album that I really love. I know their other albums are masterpieces, but somehow they don't click on me :shrug:

I love Kid A though, especially Idiioteque.

8. I voted for The Bends...
I've had this conversation on here before. Anything after the bends is The Emporer's new clothes in my opinion.

10. I dunno, man. It's crazy.
Isn't that one of the first signs of the apocalypse?

11. If obsessing over a frighteningly mediocre band is the first sign...
...well then I suppose it's upon us.

13. I have, and they blow.
Creep is an ok song. Karma Police, decent. The rest of their stuff puts me to sleep. Just my opinion folks.

14. Amnesiac
An amazing meditation on mortality that's admittedly difficult to listen through, but is ultimately their most rewarding work. Fucking brilliant.
