i never got into them because for as long as i can rememer ive always gotten them mixed up w/ REM, whom i have a very like/dislike, not even love/hate, relationship with.
my friend showed me Polyethylene a while back and i really like it so um....yeah what do you reccomend guys, im figuring Kid A is gonna get mentioned since it always does....everywhere..

Honestly, I'd just start with the Bends. When the feedback washes in at the beginning of Planet Telex, it is orgasmic. Goddamn do I love that fucking album. Then you'll get OK Computer, then Kid A ....

Or did you want specific song recommendations first?

I got hooked on Exit Music (for a Film), Idioteque, Just, and Paranoid Android. When I'd first heard those songs, everything about them was just so completely fucking new to me, especially Paranoid Android.

Now I know how all that shit is done and I still love it.
Those are songs, btw, not albums. Of course, my FAVORITE song by Radiohead has got to be Let Down. It just hits home, really.

In no particular order...

Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer

Alright here are my individual song recommendations

Quite possibly my favorite radiohead song, period

one of the creepiest songs ever made. From 3:20 on

If you want some earlier stuff, this is by far the best song on Pablo Honey, IMHO

For newer stuff, here's probably my favorite:

For experimental stuff, this is great:

This performance of Fake Plastic Trees from The Bends gets me every time. Massive goosebumps.

Polyethylene (parts 1 & 2) is an OK Computer-era B-side, so my suggestion is to get OK Computer, possibly even the expanded reissue of it, seeing as that comes with all the B-sides as well. Failing that, The Bends is probably the most accessible starting point.

This is the performance that got me into them:

Ok computer is good to start, some phenomenal stuff on there. I really like Hail to the Thief as well. Oh hell, ok I like all they're stuff haha. But I really like the direction they went starting with ok computer more than they're earlier stuff.

I really like Kid A. Especially after reading chuck klosterman claimed it was a precognition of 9-11.

I'm gonna throw the damn wrench and say that you should check out Hail to the Thief. I don't know why it always got a shit rap from everyone. Full of nice guitar work, interesting arrangements... it's good. So is OK Computer. Goddamn OK Computer is good!

If you're thinking single tracks (Sort of a career sampler)...

Paranoid Android
Planet Telex
My Iron Lung
There There
Go To Sleep
Airbag
Electioneering
2+2=5
Polyethylene
Bodysnatchers
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Punch Up at a Wedding
15 Step
No Surprises
Karma Police
Lucky

That'll give a range.

And I know... 3 albums aren't accounted for. To me, they're just

Wow. shit.

Go with Amnesiac > Kid A > In Rainbows

Then do OKC > Hail TTT if you want more

I'd rather spend my money on pedals, alcohol, sex or food, than buying their old stuff again.

I just reeeeeeally don't get all the dingdong about The Bends... It's very boring to me. Very nineteenninetyfivebooooooring.


EDIT:

I didn't know this, though:

Decompression sickness (DCS; also historically or colloquially known as divers' disease, the bends or caisson disease)

And shit... Kid A is almost ten years old.... Tha kinda makes me wanna redo my post... but wth.

(Amnesiac.)

Skip all the greatest hits, go straight to their B-Sides!

ewll i got kid a, i can see what all the fuss is about , but it's not exactly for me
i wanna get amnesiac and okc next yo i figure they'll do me better lol
