    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

    Gotta go with the obvious here..
    <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>

    Thank you...
    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).

    "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.
