Putting Kid A in the C category was a BOLD move. Such a fantastic album (Masterpiece)! Ofcourse Moon Shaped Pool and In Rainbows are fantastic. Hail to the Theif is criminally underrated.

[CptBumFlufff]

Great list! Nice to see Hail to the Thief get some love ☺

[pavancheruku]

I agree A Moon Shaped Pool is so good. Especially daydreaming, present tense, ful stop; all masterpieces. I gotta say though In Rainbows is my favorite radiohead album. Like you can't beat jigsaw falling into place it's just so good

[julianpena]

I don't know why, but I really chilled last night watching this video. It's always nice to hear people talking about my favorite band :)

My personal ranking:

In rainbows - Perfection
Ok computer - Sadly perfection
A moon shaped pool - Mature perfection
Hail to the thief - Drums perfection
Kid A - Beep boop perfection
Amnesiac - Weird beep boop
The bends - Street spirit (Fade out)
The king of limbs - Weird
Pablo honey - Pablo honey

Ignore the gatekeepers. Radiohead is a great band but some of their fans can be quite annoying. It's not enough to like a band they like, you have to like it in the same order as them. Personally I prefer an honest opinion over telling people what they want to hear just to get likes. Carry on with your bad self (even though you are wrong about Kid A, lol).

[panchopenumbra]

"A Moon Shaped Pool" is really an experience. It is dense, dark, emotional, beautiful, the most mature album by them, for me. Love the way you talk about music! Keep it up!!

[maxlove]

Just, My Iron Lung, High and Dry and Nice Dream are the stand out tracks for me with the Bends. Kid A has more ambient tracks but Everything In Its Right Place, Kid A, Treefingers and the National Anthem are the standouts. Kid A was a big turning point for the band, A Moon Shaped Pool is almost the perfect mix of OK Computer and Kid A.

[LFletcher]

Climbing up the walls and lucky are also my favourite tracks from OK computer, nice to see you shout them out. An interesting ranking!

[littleplutomen]

My ranking changes all the time but still
1- Amnesiac
2- Kid A
3- OK Computer
4- Hail to the Thief
5- The King of Limbs
6- The Bends
7- A Moon Shaped Pool
8- In Rainbows
9- Pablo Honey

[nickaglyc]

OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows, Hail To The Thief, A Moon Shaped Pool all are A+ then The Bends and The King of the Limbs are A and finally Pablo Honey is D or C. Blow Out, You and Creep are stand out tracks.

[Unhacker]

Radiohead does seem incapable of making a bad album, true, but does this happen to anyone else: They release a new album, you hate the first 60 seconds and turn it off. You return to previous albums for a few weeks, run out of content, eventually go back to new album and listen to another 60 seconds. It's "interesting" but you're still afraid you're about to hate it. Repeat this process for a few weeks until you realize one of the new songs is playing in your dreams, stuck in your head. Finally surrender and sit down, listen to whole thing. You can't get enough, this is the best Radiohead album ever! My dysfunctional relationship with Radiohead. ;)

[axthla]

Really bold move putting HTTT at A+, but also so warranted. It's such an amazing album and really is too underrated as other comments have already said.

[fabriciomosoni]

AMSP is my favourite album too! So cinematic and beautiful <3

[oddur]

Very interesting list, definitely not a typical ranking of Radiohead albums
My list would be:
1. In Rainbows
2. OK Computer
3. Hail to the Thief
4. A Moon Shaped Pool
5. Kid A
6. The Bends
7. King of Limbs
8. Amnesiac
9. Pablo Honey
But I love them all

[DivineSinners]

While my personal ranking of Radiohead albums is different from yours (The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A are A+ albums for me), I really enjoyed this video. Like you, I've always believed that "Lucky" should have closed OK Computer, so thanks for saying that. Cheers & All the Best!!

[handletag]

It was refreshing that your list wasn't the same as all the other ones I've seen. Kid A is usually on top and I was actually disappointed with it after falling in love with OK Computer. You've inspired me to give Hail to the Theif and King of Limbs another listen as I haven't played them very much since they came out.

[gstak]

I absolutely love you and your reviews, keep it up! ☺️

[thisaintnoparty]

My ranking is totally different 😂
But we absolutely agree about King of Limbs. UNDERRATED!

[kickliquid]

Hail to the Thief to me is OK Computer but with the added elements of experimentation that they honed from Kid A and Amnesiac. It is like their magnum opus of everything they learned up to that point in their discography and It was also their send off album from the mainstream music business machine. A lot of people at the time thought it was just Radiohead pandering to the record label to make a hit record but I honestly think it has the right balance of mainstream pop, experimentation, and art. Its like a well seasoned meal and I honestly don't think they will ever be able to top it.

For the most part I agree with your list except for Kid A. For me I would put that in the A category in fact i would switch your ranking for King of Limbs and Kid A for my list... How you felt about the King of Limbs and how it holds a special place in your heart is how I feel about Kid A. Kid A came out during a weird transitional period in my life where I was in a very dark place. Also that Album contains one of my favorite Radiohead songs of all time 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'. I want that song played at my funereal.

A Moon Shaped Pool is a masterclass in beauty and sadness together.
