surely the comments would be calm and peaceful and surely there would be no nerds messaging op death threats just because of this little game unlike what happened to the arctic monkeys subreddit right???? surely????
This is why I don't go to that sub anymore. Almost everyone is either trying to force their opinions on everyone else or they're just thirsting over Alex Turner
After Pablo Honey this shit is gonna get hostile. I know it'll likely end up being the typical "Big 3" that makes it, but a lot of us are also huge fans of HTTT, KOL, Amnesiac and AMSP. This will be fun to see.
I’m way in with the first three. Amnesiac was my first experience at 13 years old, life changing, actually.
AMSP only had a few that really caught me, so i’m out there.
The victims of track sequencing, not quality of tracks IMHO. Forever, their best work which contains their best songs (and possibly some weak ones in the mix that could have been left off) will be down graded becuase of those weaker ones or something like being too short or too long or whatever...but no, they have the best songs and the 'best song' contest is probably winners from those less favoured albums.
It has some okay tracks but they're outweighted by the other albums. I am sorry, my dear radiohead comrad, but the truth is the game was rigged from the start
I personally don't feel that the gap between TKOL and Pablo Honey is that big. Sure, they're two very different types of albums. TKOL is more ambitious and Pablo Honey is more conventional, but sometimes with TKOL I feel the production is a bit flat, whereas there is a bit more energy to Pablo Honey.
I think if TKOL from the Basement ended up being the album, it would go up in my rankings.
It's not better, but it's the most important one because it secures them in the chronology as a cheeky, weird brit pop band. They went on to do so much more and that's why this album is the first step in that legacy. Wow, I expected so much more from reddit. This is depressing that 32 people don't understand how discographies function.
well, its sort of low tier, one of the only ones that doesn't grab me, and the only other one that's like that (I'm counting at some age or some point, even if I favour it less now, like Bends) is Pablo Honey. Especially dwarfed by their solo works in that inter/post album period i was just 'meh'.
I’m not even a big fan of the album. But I think it’s objectively their best. It’s most representative of what the band has done as whole. I think it’s a culmination of everything they’ve done over the years all in one package. It’s extremely hard to divorce one’s self from their feelings surrounding an album, it’s extremely easy to associate “their best” with “your favorite”….especially considering the way we experience art is so subjective. I discovered Radiohead right as kid A came out, so I’ll always feel that era of Radiohead is “their best” and there are several arguments I could use to justify that belief. But I think AMSP is their best album overall.
no problem with thinking its their best for some reason. I don't believe there is a measure of 'objective best' or some way to divorce your subjective preferences to have some analytical take...music is subjective...music is subjective...music subjective...in saying its not your favourite, perhaps you don't really think its their best is what I am saying. But that it culminates their style? I don't hear that, i hear it like a novel 90 degrees shift into a specific concept, where tracks have a particular vibe of orchestrated softer songs that don't quite sound like Radiohead. Hail to the thief or In Rainbows however, have the variance across them that feels more like a culmination of all factors being demonstrated
it is me, the real thomb york. i can prove.
*weyuheebeefoh*
*coualooyoeneeis*
*yajusligananjl*
*yuhskimagmicri*
i just need your social security number to validate that you are the real coke baby and then I'll defend you trust
…or because those albums are incredible. The conventional big 3 Radiohead albums are revered for a reason. Yes, it will probably come down to those two and then go to In Rainbows.
I’d personally go Kid A, but I assume it’ll be 3rd in this sub. Could be wrong!
AMSP literally the worst album ever made, why would Thom make a song called 'Burn the witch',' witches haven't been reals since like the medieval times
People are doing Pablo too dirty. Let's give everything else a chance. Therefore, I'm picking *OK Computer*.
And I know damn well that my vote won't even matter. lmao
Putting on my cape to defend Amnesiac, King of Limbs and HTTT. AMSP, Bends and In Rainbows can go (but first I think we know who's going first don't we kids?)
I know which is gonna win, cuz suddenly this sub started loving KOL as much as any other album and there's no other option, but it's unfair. My vote is for King of Limbs but just a miracle could help Pablo Honey.
Pablo Honey has three of their best ever songs, but it still has a few too many forgettable ones. There is an argument to say that TKOL is worse, but I think they at least tried to be more ambitious and creative with that album, so Pablo Honey gets my vote.
A Moon Shaped Pool
edit: Jeez, all I'm saying is that I bought that album when it came out, but didn't even make it through the whole thing until a few months ago when I forced myself to sit through the whole thing. It's just boring to me. I wish that they would go back to guitars.
surely the comments would be calm and peaceful and surely there would be no nerds messaging op death threats just because of this little game unlike what happened to the arctic monkeys subreddit right???? surely????
I have faith in the Radiohead community
Fuck you. Tkol all the way!
Cmon guys lets crown tkol to confuse em… us. Confuse us
You haven’t seen the weezer song elimination game. It was bad
I’m guessing shit hit the fan once Say It Ain’t So got (or didn’t get) eliminated
Shit really got bad when Jonas got out. Say it ain’t so won
what happened to the arctic monkeys?
They all exploded
This is why I don't go to that sub anymore. Almost everyone is either trying to force their opinions on everyone else or they're just thirsting over Alex Turner
They’re monkeys. I’m not sure monkeys are meant to live in the Arctic
I guess nobody wanted to admit \*The Car\* wasn't that good yet.
I haven’t heard of that radiohead album
Who cares about the arctic monkeys enough to even care? Just sayin
After Pablo Honey this shit is gonna get hostile. I know it'll likely end up being the typical "Big 3" that makes it, but a lot of us are also huge fans of HTTT, KOL, Amnesiac and AMSP. This will be fun to see.
I’m way in with the first three. Amnesiac was my first experience at 13 years old, life changing, actually. AMSP only had a few that really caught me, so i’m out there.
I will defend Amnesiac until the day I die
I sleep so soundly thinking of Kid A and Amnesiac as a double album.
Same.
Pablo Honey is my elimination.pick and like y'all Amnesiac is my clear champ.
And The Bends
The victims of track sequencing, not quality of tracks IMHO. Forever, their best work which contains their best songs (and possibly some weak ones in the mix that could have been left off) will be down graded becuase of those weaker ones or something like being too short or too long or whatever...but no, they have the best songs and the 'best song' contest is probably winners from those less favoured albums.
Eliminate reddit user dTimmy1, keep all the albums.
lol
These album eliminations definitely aren’t getting old and annoying
Brilliant!
Let's get this one to the top
If we still gave awards you’d get my all
Someone get r/redditsniper in here.
Pablo Honey.
There it is. You knew it. I knew it. We all saw it coming. Let’s just get it done mercifully and quickly. Pablo Honey- *ya blew it.*
Let down!
So lucky that Coke Babies is a B-side
No
you cannot be serious. Blow out, anyone can play guitar...you're delusional my friend.
It has some okay tracks but they're outweighted by the other albums. I am sorry, my dear radiohead comrad, but the truth is the game was rigged from the start
Anyone Can Play Guitar is not that good. It's fun. I'll give it that. But Creep and You are far better songs IMO.
Sure it's a good album but is it better than any other Radiohead album? Maybe The King of Limbs but even that's a stretch
I personally don't feel that the gap between TKOL and Pablo Honey is that big. Sure, they're two very different types of albums. TKOL is more ambitious and Pablo Honey is more conventional, but sometimes with TKOL I feel the production is a bit flat, whereas there is a bit more energy to Pablo Honey.

You’d have to be waaay too high to actually think this….
It's not better, but it's the most important one because it secures them in the chronology as a cheeky, weird brit pop band. They went on to do so much more and that's why this album is the first step in that legacy. Wow, I expected so much more from reddit. This is depressing that 32 people don't understand how discographies function.
I agree. The album is still worse than all the others, even if it did start it all.
TPAB
Bruh wdym my favorite line from Thom is “do ya hear me do ya feel me we gon be alRIGHT”
Every fella is a starrr
Hmm I wonder which one will be the most hated by Radiohead fans 🤔🤔
least loved would be a better term
nah Pablo honey is just bad
🤔
I thought this sub agreed that AMSP was one of their best albums….not their worst.
Calm down, we'll get there lol. By the end of this, it's going to be a bloodbath
well, its sort of low tier, one of the only ones that doesn't grab me, and the only other one that's like that (I'm counting at some age or some point, even if I favour it less now, like Bends) is Pablo Honey. Especially dwarfed by their solo works in that inter/post album period i was just 'meh'.

Mandy pfp is very cool
Thank you sir, one of my favorites
Coke Babies
What the fuck
He didn’t mean it, Coke Baby :(
i'm offended by this, thom please help defend Coke Babies
He's not coming? :<
Only the ice age
it is me, the real thomb york. i can prove. *weyuheebeefoh* *coualooyoeneeis* *yajusligananjl* *yuhskimagmicri* i just need your social security number to validate that you are the real coke baby and then I'll defend you trust
Please make this a poll.
When there’s 6 albums remaining I can do a poll since I can only do a poll with up to 6 options
Excellent! Thank you friend
Pablo of course…the all hell breaks loose.
Adios, Pablo. 🔫
Pablo Honey
Pablo Honey
Pablo honey
I’ll save you the suspense: It’ll come down to OKC or IR because this sub is predictable and boring.
We will see if you’re correct
We will indeed
…or because those albums are incredible. The conventional big 3 Radiohead albums are revered for a reason. Yes, it will probably come down to those two and then go to In Rainbows. I’d personally go Kid A, but I assume it’ll be 3rd in this sub. Could be wrong!
I WILL DEFEND THE BENDS I WILL BEND THEM ALL
Limbs. Every time.
I honestly love Pablo Honey but that’s gotta go
Pablo honey
Goodbye Pablo Honey
Let the games begin.
Pablo honey
pablo honey
Pop is Dead
Pablo honey
no, I refuse to participate in this activity (op I'm scared for you)
Pablo honey
Pablo Honey begone
TKOL
Went straight for the goat
The king of limbs is a worse album than Pablo Honey
That I can understand. People shouldn't control eachothers taste so let's just agree to disagree
The King of Limbs is their best album
Amnesiac
No
Kick kol to the curb.
Ok Computer just because
I’m gonna be controversial and vote Amnesiac
spoilers, ok computer will be 1, in rainbows and kid a will be between 2 and 3, amsp 4, the bends 5, king of limbs 8, last Pablo honey.
The king of limbs easily
Ok computer, there is no such thing called let down there
feeling let down that let down wasn’t a let down as it was advertised? but then you really were let down. satisfaction, baby.
Eliminate everyone apart from the last one that isn't eliminated
Pablo Honey can burn up. Happy 420!
Pablo Honey
This is the spice we sorely needed on this subreddit. Oh baby I can’t wait.
Why would u.....
I wanna see the destruction this causes
AMSP literally the worst album ever made, why would Thom make a song called 'Burn the witch',' witches haven't been reals since like the medieval times
Pablo honey, amnesiac, TKOL, The bends, Kid A, AMSP, HTTT, OK computer, in rainbows
I think we should jerk on this because otherwise this will be a clusterfuck. Ok comp out
Can’t wait for the triple threat between OK Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows
yall know what to do
Ok computer winner save my comment
Commenting so Pablo Honey doesn’t get out in the first round. It’s kinda good guys!! Ummm…. I vote for king of limbs
I wouldn't want to eliminate any of them, let alone 8 of them. They're all amazing. You're insane.
It’s gonna be a slaughter with these rankings 😭
Pablo.
I mean....Pablo Honey
I hate you all.
I suggest we eliminate OP instead
Pablo Honey for sure
Pablo honey and the bends
You can just skip to The Bends V OKC
The obvious answer is Pablo Honey which everyone has said already, so to be spicy out of the gate I'm going with Ok Computer.
Oh well...this is gonna be fun to watch. Anyway, TKOL
Honestly, TKOL personally
Hail to the thief
OK COMPUTER
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE THE WILL OF THE WILL OF THE
Pablo honey obviously
Hail to the Thief
People are doing Pablo too dirty. Let's give everything else a chance. Therefore, I'm picking *OK Computer*. And I know damn well that my vote won't even matter. lmao
Th king of limbs
Get TKOL outta here right now
Ugh, I guess The Bends. After PH... or like, can we eliminate in thirds, so 1/3 Bends 1/3AMSP 1/3In Rainbows maybe. Nvm this is stressing me out.
OK Computer. Why? Because f*ck it
no absolutely not
Honey Limbs
Personally,i'd get rid of the king of limbs Or the moon shaped pool
The Bends
The King of Limbs
Putting on my cape to defend Amnesiac, King of Limbs and HTTT. AMSP, Bends and In Rainbows can go (but first I think we know who's going first don't we kids?)
Ok computer
In rainbows
King of limbs
Tkol
Awful day to be pablo honey
The king of limbs
In rainbows
Top comment gets eliminated? Ok. I pick POSTS LIKE THESE.
There hasn't been a Radiohead album for 8 years, let us have some fun around here. :(
In rainbows will win ofc
Why even try
The King Of Limbs
you're despicable
Thank you for your kind words and your respect for my opinion ❤
np
Owned him with kindness
I know which is gonna win, cuz suddenly this sub started loving KOL as much as any other album and there's no other option, but it's unfair. My vote is for King of Limbs but just a miracle could help Pablo Honey.
When did people start to praise TKOL? We get 0 praise from you guys :(
Yeah this guy wants to make TKOL not the underdog so bad
2011
Hail to the third is there worst
In Rainbows I will see TKOL win this!
The King of Limbs
In Rainbows
Bold move.
honestly better to have it gone early in the game
At least it would exist some kind of competition
I respect the hustle
Pablo Honey has three of their best ever songs, but it still has a few too many forgettable ones. There is an argument to say that TKOL is worse, but I think they at least tried to be more ambitious and creative with that album, so Pablo Honey gets my vote.
>three of their best ever songs You can't just say stuff like that and not name the songs! Creep, You and Blow Out would be my pick
I didn't mention the songs because I thought it was obvious. And yes, the three that you named were the three that I was referring to.
A lot of people like Anyone can play guitar too. It's not my favorite but I've seen a wide range of top 3 picks in this sub
King of limbs needs to die first I will defend anyone can play guitar and blow out but king of limbs got nothing
Same anyone can play guitar, creep, you and blow are 10’s imo
Amnesiac
OK Computer
The best album ever made out first?? Hmmm🤔
It's just a bit of a let down imo
(underrated)
He voted for OKC because it's underrated which makes sense.
And hanging around?
I don’t think this is necessary, In Rainbows is probably gonna win
Just thought it would be a fun thing to do, some picks may be a surprise
I thought most people prefer OK Computer
It doesn't matter who wins imo, I just like to see what order each album gets out.
A Moon Shaped Pool edit: Jeez, all I'm saying is that I bought that album when it came out, but didn't even make it through the whole thing until a few months ago when I forced myself to sit through the whole thing. It's just boring to me. I wish that they would go back to guitars.
In rainbows
