Best Radiohead Album

[The Placid Casual]

Let's have it out!

[pie_and_a_pint]

Pablo Honey. Sorry. I loved it then and I love it now. I went to university in Oxford and I guess I was in the right place at the right time to see them grow and develop, hence the bias towards their earlier stuff.

[BlackHole2006]

It's a toss up between In Rainbows and HTTT for me. Opted for In Rainbows. 

[MilkyJoe]

Oh dear, this has got off to a controversial start!

[The Placid Casual]

Wow, no love for OK Computer?

[Crossfit Jesus]

OK Computer has the best standout tracks but In Rainbows is their best overall album in my opinion

[Trout Mask Replica]

In Rainbows of course. 

It appears I'm not alone in thinking this. 

[Little Andy]

Poor King Of Limbs, currently on 0%. I voted for OK Computer, but I dont think I will ever understand its lack of popularity. Its 2nd half is just fantastic.

[Spindles]

In Rainbows has it all for me, the best of their songwriting with the best of their creativity.  The Bends, for me, is the album I grew up with, the one that I associate with a particular time in my life that I look back on fondly and for that reason will always hold a special place in my heart.

I also still have much fondness for Pablo Honey, regardless of opinions round these parts, but again because it represents the soundtrack to a time of my life that was special.  Thinking about you is still the song that gives me goosebumps.

Just voted for OKC but having seen the results I wish I had jumped on board the Pablo joke. I'm obviously not as sharp as some of you lot 

[LeeGalvin]

In Rainbows.

Close thread.

[mjsell]

In Rainbows for me too. Perfect mix of genres and ideas. Also the first time I saw them live it was a IR heavy set and it was magical.

It's my second favourite behind In Rainbows. Electronic Radiohead > rock Radiohead imo

Would have got my 2nd vote behind KidA..  .We need a top 3 poll.

Kid A.

9. Pablo Honey

[kingbadger]

I would have to say, the best of The Radiohead 

[Chipbarm]

In Rainbows for me and Jigsaw Falling Into Place is the best tune they have ever made.

Only since they were announced have I decided to go and actualy listen to all of their material. I knew of a lot of their songs but wouldn't have said I was a big fan. I am now! Ive been through The Bends, Pablo Honey, Kid A, A Moon Shaped Pool and OK Computer. Since this thread has been hailing in rainbows I have just downloaded and listening now. Sounding good so far and only on track 2.

Can't bloody wait to see them on the farm!

[dirtymookie]

The bends!! Then Pablo honey then ok computer. Then they're all equally mediocre...........

[Acid_Haze]

1 vote for King of Limbs, 13 votes for Pablo Honey and none for A Moon Shaped Pool? What is this?

Also why 13 votes for Pablo Honey but 12 for The Bends? Surely if you prefer Radiohead's early stuff over their late stuff, the bends is better than Pablo Honey?? Right??

In Rainbows, first Radiohead album I listened to and it blew me away

[kaytee...]

In Rainbows always

[Hugh Jass]

You would have thought that we would have had a long thread debating this before now...

It's In Rainbows, with OKC and Kid A a very close second and third.

[balti-pie]

The Bends, of course. Imagine choosing one of the noodly electronic ones just to prove you're more weird and eclectic than other Radiohead fans
