You should do an Amnesiac poll next. I think of these two CDs as being a double album. They have a nice symmetry to them: the IDM tracks that begin both albums, the horns songs that frame it (National Anthem in the front, Greenhouse in the back), the two Morning Bells, two ambient pieces (Treefingers and Hunting Bears - both evoking pastoral settings in their titles), two great not-quite EDM-ish tracks (Idioteque and Spinning Plates), two rockers (Optimistic and Knives Out), and two lovely/frightening songs (How to Disappear and Pyramid Song).

Kid A is the Emperor's new clothes; I love the best of Radiohead, but this is the worst.

I had to give a vote to Kid A because it had none. I love that little guy.
Other outstanding tracks from this awesome album: The National Anthem- one of Radiohead's most ambitious and epic (the real definition) songs How to Disappear Completely- beautiful, earthy, and haunting Idioteque- Thom Yorke puts so much emotion into this; it's really incredible to hear Edited by Earendil - March 25 2013 at 16:01 |

Idioteque. That last chord in the keys progression kills me every time.

I prefer some live versions of Idioteque. That track really comes alive at concerts.

I'll have to give it to the opener.

My sister's nickname is Kid M because she loves Radiohead, I don't really like them but just felt like bringing that up

That's interesting. So many people slave over this album, you don't like it? |

Not only does he not like it, but apparently you're an idiot if you do. |

Well it's one of my favourites, I'll tell you that. What I really appreciate about it though, is that every track has a unique personality within itself. Everybody has a different favourite - it's so varied.

I wonder whether you've heard the albums AFTER Kid A. And worse than Pablo Honey...wow, that's a bit difficult to work out.

One of my current bandmates is a rabid fan of Kid A and In Rainbows and is pretty adamant about the fact that the worst Radiohead album is ... OK Computer.

My two cents on Kid A : this album left me with the feeling that the band took off in a Space Shuttle and I was left behind, thinking : Bon Voyage, guys, too bad I could'nt follow you, but this is where I draw the line. To the point where I actually sold the album in a used record shop. Never could get into it.

I can see that. He probably digs the experimental stuff more. OK Computer is a monster, don't get me wrong, but Radiohead really reinvented themselves in the new century, basically stripped all of their old rules and tricks, and changed their career around. The past five albums have been key sources of innovation and experimentation for Pop Music, and I'm just fortunate that we've had the pleasure to listen to them, because they really are incredible records. |

Oh, I am not hating on their later albums but I suspect resurrection hasn't heard them. Because if he disliked Kid A, then these albums depart even further from their 90s sound.
