As a guitar player, I really like 'The Bends'. 'In Rainbows' would be #2.

Mine is Amnesiac, which used to be my least favorite album to the point that I would never listen to it. Then I gave it a listen a couple years ago with my studio monitor headphones and it's been my favorite ever since. I love all their albums though, especially disc two of In Rainbows. 4 Minute Warning is possibly my favorite Radiohead song of all time.

The Bends and OK Computer are both great albums, I don't think I can pick between them. I never put any other Radiohead album on any more, I used to love Pablo Honey when I was in my mid teens but it sounds like a very immature and inconsistent record now when I listen back to it with a critical ear.

I didn't buy any album after OK Computer, just totally fell out of love with their music at that point. People say they're innovative, pushing boundaries etc... perhaps. But I am left cold by it, it doesn't say anything to me or connect with me on a meaningful level. Also, Thom Yorke has tragically wandered over the fine line between tortured beauty and pure whininess.

I am a big Radiohead fan...I'm not surprised to see so many "Bends" and "Ok Computer" lovers on here, but I am suprised to see so many that like "In Rainbows" so much. Nothing about it has stricken me yet, it doesn't even really sound like new material, more like "Hail" leftovers. I simply am not getting the album, probably requires multiple, multiple listens (like all good music does, particularly Radiohead).

Not being critical by any means, I just hope to understand this album a little better, as I will likely hear the whole thing this summer in concert as well

Probably OK Computer...it really depends on my mood though. Pablo is a summer album - drive down the highway with the sun out. Bends, reminds of rain for whatever reason. Kid A and Amnesiac are kinda distant and disconnected...but I relate to that, I was kinda like that when they came out, so I like them both. Hail reminds me of meeting my girlfriend - I introduced her to radiohead(not literaly) and we saw them on this tour. In rainbows to me is very soothing, I love it for that reason. I love Eraser as well, just got it not too long ago. Haven't got into Jonny's Bodysong...I've had it for forever, just haven't given it a shot.
