IMHO Radioheads albums fall out like this........

1) The Bends

2) OK Computer

3) Pablo Honey

4) Hail to the thief

5) KID A

6) Amnesiac

<b>OK Computer</b> is the #1 Radiohead release, followed <i>very</i> closely by <b>The Bends</b>. The rest of the Radiohead albums aren't essential, but I'd recommend them in this order:

3. <b>Hail To The Thief</b>

4. <b>Kid Eh</b>

5. <b>Amnesiac</b>

6. <b>Pablo Honey</b>

I did'nt have alot of time when I posted my question. Due to budget constraints I can only purchase one CD at the present time. Thanks again, Michael

Why would you recomend Amnesiac over Pablo Honey ?

Personally I think Pablo Honey beats out both Amnesiac & KID A on the strengths of the songs Creep and Stop Whispering alone.

<b>Amnesiac</b> is generally more interesting. While not easily accessible, it's pretty underrated. <b>Pablo Honey</b> is for the most part a rather generic post-grunge record, with the exception of maybe three tracks: "Blow Out," "Anybody Can Play Guitar," and "Creep."

I don't mind admitting that to my ears KID A and Amnesiac are nothing but droning, meaningless noise. But other than that........

One more vote for <i>The Bends</i> here. Although the high points on <i>OK Computer</i> are as great as anything recorded in the 90s.

You and I will get along just fine. Your list is like mine exactly, but I haven't heard Hail to the Thief (after hearing the stinking piles of overrated MUZAK that are Kid A and Amnesiac I decided my money was better spent on something else).

Yep, their both very impressive, I can't think of anything from the 90's I like more.

"MUZAK" now thats funny,but only cause I agree.

Once I have your mailing address Stone I'll share a copy of Hail to the thief with ya , you've seen how I rate it but it does have some decent moments.
