I just wonder what's your favorite Radiohead album? Mine is probably 'OK computer', because it includes at least three songs I dig, which are 'Exit Music (For A Film)', 'Karma Police', and 'Climbing Up The Walls'.

I don't like their highly acclaimed 'Kid A' album though. They turned to some new niche since 'Kid A' starting to play that unusual music, and I believe their 'In Rainbows, 2007', and 'Hail to the Thief, 2003' are way more better than 'Kid A, 2000', and 'Amnesiac, 2001'.

The song strongly inspired by Chopin's music off of OK computer.

I have yet to hear Amnesiac or Hail to the Thief but I have the rest. I guess I would have to give the nod to OK Computer although I like four out of the five albums I have equally with the Bends being the one out of the five I don't really care for.

Radiohead is a funny band for me as IMO each album has four or five fantastic songs and four or five songs I can't stand.

I love Hail to the Thief. The songs are hauntingly beautiful and I enjoy listening to everything on the album. Wolf at the Door and Myxomatosis are my favorite songs by Radiohead.

OK Computer is a close second, because I like Karma Police.

I voted for "OK Computer."

Also, I have some thoughts about "Kid A" and "Amnesiac":

I really hate it when a band records enough material for 2 albums and decides to release them as two separate albums instead of one really strong album. I'm looking at you, Led Zeppelin ("Physical Graffiti"), Guns 'N Roses ("Use Your Illusion 1 & 2"), and System of a Down ("Mesmerize/Hypnotize"). Unfortunately, Radiohead did the same thing with "Kid A" and "Amnesiac."

If Radiohead had taken the strongest tracks from "Kid A" (Tracks 1 - 6, excluding "Treefingers") and "Amnesiac" ("Pyramid Song," "Knives Out," "I Might Be Wrong," and "You and Whose Army?") and made it into one album instead of splitting them into 2 albums full of filler, I would have hailed the single album as one of the best experimental rock albums of all time.
