I was being the ultra-music snob yesterday and started thumbing through the Radiohead EPs at my local indie store. I ran into I Might Be Wrong (the live recordings) and had completely forgotten about it. Is it worth buying?

Definitely. The live versions are great, especially the piano version of 'Like Spinning Plates'. And then of course there's True Love Waits... I would buy anything as long that song's on it.

Alansson's right.

The more I listen to In Rainbows, the more I find it brilliant. I know it's a bold statement to make, but it may be creeping up to my 2nd favorite Radiohead album.

1. My Iron Lung EP
2. The Bends
3. Pablo Honey
4. OK Computer
5. Kid A
6. Amnesiac
7. In Rainbows

4 - 7 is always shifting with each other, but My Top 3 is solid.

For me

The Bends
Kid A
OK Computer
In Rainbows 1
Amnesiac
Pablo Honey





and


Hail to the thief, a distant last

1. Amnesiac
2. In Rainbows
3. Kid A
4. Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP
5. Hail to the Thief
6. The Bends
7. OK Computer

Other stuff they've done, be it live albums, EPs or Pablo Honey (dear god) can't really be compared on the same scale as that stuff in my brain. It's largely irrelevant, ranking them, because I love nearly every note of that lot.

Sticking to LPs:

1. Kid A
2. OK Compter
3. Amnesiac
4. In Rainbows
5. The Bends
6. Hail to the Theif
7. Pablo Honey

Aha, I'm not the only soul who thinks Kid A is their best!

I usually waffle back and forth between Kid A and OK Computer, but I think I've settled on Kid A being the better of the two. It is quite a compliment when the worst thing you can say about the album is that the studio version of "Motion Picture Soundtrack" isn't as good as the older live versions(which is extra disappointing because they are usually pretty good about taking good live songs into the studio).

OK Computer is at least a song or two too long IMO, but is still one of the best albums of the past 20 years.

You're right! That IS a compliment, considering how awesome that song is.

I really can't rate the whole discography, other than to say I find all that they've done interesting and certainly artistically gifted. Kid A sounds better each time I listen to it, I think it is my favorite for now.

Yes, the studio version is still a very good song, but it was the biggest letdown for me when I first heard the album.
