tracks off there

But i like every track on OKC

my 4 fav on kid a are idioteque, in limbo, everything in its
right place, and how to disappear completely... but as i
said, it's a 10 out of 10 album so all the songs are great

OK Computer is my pick. You can't go wrong with either
though. Kid A is more varied and experimental as everyone
else is saying, but OKC is still really incredible. They're
just really great songs.

kid a - 6/10 - there's just some really poor tracks i feel
that ruin it. i just can't play it all the way through

ok computer - 9/10 - v. good album, and more of an 'album'
rather than a collection of tracks, if you know what i mean.
i think seeing the videos with some of the tracks help
understand it more

i'd also give amnesiac 8/10, pablo honey 6/10, & the bends
9.5/10 - easily their best work imo, an all time classic

OK Computer, by a hair. It's maybe the closet thing to
perfection an album has ever reached. Kid A is the reason
I'm at this site, kind of...

agreeing with most people here, OK Computer is definitely
the superior choice between the two albums

yeah, i like lucky aswell. it actually pre-dated the album
by at least a year, i think it was a left over tracks from
previous sessions.

i would go for the combined 2 CD release called
Kid Computer A OK..which was basically the start of the
motivational Self Help/Self Destruct cult Thom Yorke started
for people who were convinced that they were Androids...as
well as rock bands who thought they were Autechre because
they bought some of the same gear...

im gonna say ok computer. kid a is really good but i doubt
ok computer will ever be topped as the best 1. oablo honey
is atrociously bad, the bends is pretty good and amnesiac is
like kid only not as good because of that awful morning bell
remix.

DEFINATLY Ok Computer. i mean, Kid A is a great album also.
but Ok Computer is just pure genius. i dont think ive heard
an album before that comes anywhere near it.

climbing up the walls is one of my fav. songs of all time

Both shit?? wheres your respect for Radiohead, there is only
a few times I would reply in this message board and this is
that time.

Both Kid A and ok computer have a different field of music,
but theres something about ok computer that lifts me up, I
love all Radiohead but I would say

OK computer =)

lucky was made in 1995 and first appeared on the War Child
album, so it was made for that album. the earliest and best
song on OK Computer, followed closely by everything else on
that album.

Kid A is the greatest album ever! [in my opinion of course]

OK Computer is a very good album aswell, but that silly
choir keyboard thing really gets on my nerves. If it was
used on only a couple of songs, it'd be alright - but
everywhere you turn.. they're THERE and they drive me
INSANE!

Kid A pushed them further much more than OK Computer.

Radiohead is a very awesome brilliant band. I first got
interested in Radiohead through Amnesiac, but i had seen the
videos for "Paranoid Android" and "Karma Police", and
thought they were pretty cool. I went backwards in
listening to the albums, starting with Kid A and Ok
Computer, then The Bends and Pablo Honey. I can also say
that The Bends and Pablo Honey were fairly decent
productions, but not as good the recent step-up from old
sounds.....

I thought Amnesiac was fucking brilliant at first, not
knowing what to expect from such a diverse cover and
songtitles......
Amnesiac, brought it too cool-land in songs like "You And
Whose Army?", "Hunting Bears", "Like Spinning Plates", "I
Might Be Wrong", and "Dollars and Cents".

Kid A was a similar approach, but felt a bit more homely
than the distant Amnesiac......
I liked the songs "Everything In Its Right Place",
"Optimistic", "Idioteque", "Motion Picture Soundtrack", "How
To Disappear Completely", and "Kid A".........."Treefingers"
really brought it out on a limb there, i liked that......

OK Computer was also very good........a very very good
album.....
My favorite songs are "Subterranean Homesick Alien", "Exit
Music (For A Film)", "Paranoid Android", "Karma Police",
"Climbing Up the Walls"....and many others.
If were to get a Radiohead album, it would be in this
order:
1. Amnesiac -(if you don't already have it)
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer

that's right move backwards....save the best for last.

sorry if you fell asleep twice while reading
this.....

I didnt fall asleep twice but read it twice and I think what
you wrote was amazingly great!!!!

Amnesiac is so far my favorite album...but I'm such a fan of
all Thom Yorke's work.Especially a song he does with P.J
Harvey.
