    I'm summoning forth my teenage self for most of these ratings, but:

    The Bends - 9
    OK Computer - 9
    Kid A - 8
    Amnesiac - 7
    Hail to the Thief - 7
    In Rainbows - 5

    The Bends is great, of course, but I always thought that was the consensus. Just is still one of my favorite Radiohead tracks, and the video is great, too. One of my most vivid memories of 90's music was seeing that video for the first time on MuchMusic. I'm not even sure if I had heard of Radiohead before that.

    I listened to The King of Limbs once upon its release and I don't remember anything about it.
    Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Used to be my favorite band, but as seems to be the case with most people, I'm less interested with each new release.

    Pablo Honey - 5.5
    The Bends - 6.5
    OK Computer - 10
    Kid A - 10
    Amnesiac - 9.5
    Hail to the Thief - 8
    In Rainbows - 6.5
    The King of Limbs - 6 (but I only listened to it once)

    Surprised to see Hail to the Thief ranked above In Rainbows. The Bends ranked ahead Kid A is a travesty.

    Sad I missed this, but even more disappointed by the continued ambivalence and dismissal of The King of Limbs. Some of you only listened to it once?! I mean, I say that as someone that doesn't like giving much of an opinion on an album if I've only gone through it a single time, but it's such a dense and diverse piece of work. I'm not even sure what I thought of it after the first time, but I instantly revisited it and have loved doing so many times since.

    The second half of it (the last four songs) might be my most played second side of any vinyl I own. Give Up The Ghost, Codex, and Separator are just masterpieces in my mind. And the only singles released in conjunction with it - Staircase, Supercollider and The Butcher - are stellar stuff even if they're not technically part of the album itself. Throw them into a custom mix of the tracklist and I think it's as moving and length-appropriate an album as anything they've released.

    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    That's because The Bends is a great album, and Kid A is not.
