I like that Fallon performance, but when did Thom Yorke decide he wanted to be a Seattlite circa 1994???

As a quarantine project I ranked every LP track, all 100 of them, and tweeted it out over the past week. Here is a link to my descriptions of everything, and here's the rank:

I'm one of those very strange people who think that the last one, A Moon Shaped Pool, is the best one.

I "vindicate" A Moon Shaped Pool too, it has an unique atmosphere, and also The King of the Limbs, despite the production doesn't help.

AMSP has come out a lot better than I'd thought it would, but I don't find any of the songs particularly great and it often just seems too much like ambient noodling

Hail to the Thief is a fave for me. In Rainbows plays like a dream but lacks some of the highs of Thief.

This is my current take

Still a sucker for Kid A as my fave. I would put Hail to the Thief as my second.

Lurgee on number 97? That's heresy!

OK computer but very closely followed by The Bends for me.

What does Lurgee do? Like, I can't remember a fucking thing about it.

Probably Kid A. All their LP's after this sound the same and are indistinguishable from each other. Not that they are bad, just formulaic.

Radiohead formulaic? I think you are the first person I have ever heard say that.

The Bends is one of my favourite albums of all time, so that's tops for Radiohead. After that? Hail to the Thief. I still have a soft spot for Pablo Honey but really don't care after that.

You could take a song from any LP after Kid A and put it on any other LP and there woukd be no aesthetic difference. They took no risk after Kid A.

Bends has kinda aged poorly for me. First several tracks are great, last track is great, in-between is a lot of meh.

Pablo Honey: dated in more than one way, but has occasional flashes of brilliance (and "Anyone Can Play Guitar" was pretty much my mindset for a while)
The Bends: More flashes of brilliance than its predecessor, but still dated
OK Computer: a masterpiece
Kid A: another masterpiece
Amnesiac: could've been a double album with Kid A but still has some great songs
Hail to the Thief: not consistent enough to be called a masterpiece, but still a very strong album and my personal favorite
The King of Limbs: never got into this one much beyond "Lotus Flower"
A Moon Shaped Pool: a good listen, but suggests the band's "rock" days are behind them, which YMMV on whether that's good or bad

I probably haven't heard anything new from them in almost 20 years. And that's how i like it.

Why bother having opinions on boring complainer music?

Pablo Honey: better than you remember for some of the songs, just as shit as you remember for the others
The Bends: a huge leap forward, stunning and stupidly overlooked
OK Computer: the greatest album since...IDK? Daydream Nation, maybe?
Kid A: another piece of near perfection with some absolutely stunning moments.
Amnesiac: at its best, as good as the previous one, but nowhere near consistent enough
Hail to the Thief: needs to be trimmed back, but I will defend it to the death
In Rainbows: the most overrated of these albums, but a lot of fun alternative rock songs that strip things back to 'basics'
The King of Limbs: too messy and weirdly sequenced, but 'Morning Mr Magpie' and 'Lotus Flower' go off
A Moon Shaped Pool: not as direct as I want my music to be, but has its moments

I dunno, I feel like people love the bends. To me it’s decent at times — couple great tracks — and painfully average other times. Oh well.

Agreed
