the Colour of Spring vs Ok Computer

Which of these transition albums do you like the most, i find both albums having absolutly delicate chords and chord changes, which is the most defaining trait between those two albums and bands, delicate chord changes, of both original nature, and untraditional, smooth and yet so well done you get chills.

focus on the chord changes man , or probably not

Radiohead, but it's a close call...

I dig individual tunes off of Radiohead albums - stuff like The Pyramid Song, Paranoid Android and the more experimental bits from Hail to the Thief. When faced with a full album I flee.
Talk Talk on the other hand makes me a happy bunny. This album is actually my fave - even surpassing the two subsequent "landmark" releases (although truth be told: it wasn't until much later these fruitful years of Talk Talk got the praise they deserved). This one is perhaps more 'pop' orientated if you merely look at song length, but there is something experimental and at the same time incredibly ethereal and smooth going down.

Both are good albums but neither is my fav from them.

I remember this very well.  The prevailing opinion when "Spirit of Eden" came out was "what the hell are they thinking?"  Even I was a little taken aback on first listen.  And then when "Laughing Stock" came out, it seemed like they were ironically embracing their "fall from grace" (i.e. referring to themselves as the laughing stock of the music business, perhaps) with a proud display of iconoclasm. For me, what they were doing dovetailed nicely with my appreciation for prog, although no one considered them prog at the time.  I forget where and when I first heard the term "post-rock", but it was much, much later on, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Talk Talk acknowledged as one of the "pioneers" of this style.
