About This Page: This is a discussion on Media, Movies and Music within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. I'm sure this doesn't deserve its own thread, but what the hey. I just heard a great Radiohead song on Sirius (There There was the song).
I'd love to start
1. OK Computer
2. Amnesiac
3. Kid A
4. In Rainbows
5. Hail to the Thief (has There There on it)
6. The Bends
and only to complete the studio collection
7. Pablo Honey
That is their 7 studio albums, start with those then if still interested they have tons of b-sides and import albums.

Gescom's list is good but you have to include Kid A on that list.
i'm actually working on my time machine to go back and take the best material from Kid A and Amnesiac and coming up with one good record with a different name altogether rather than what was essentially a double album released less than a year apart.
i think The Eraser is a far more realized form of Radiohead's electronica and Hail to the Theif covers the other ground on those two albums... and it also serves as a much more linear follow-up to OK Computer.
depending on what part of Radiohead's aesthetic he's keen on, i may even suggest Jonny Greenwood's stuff.

I agree about Eraser. That is a great album, definitely a must have if your a Radiohead fan.
I too was a little irked by them releasing Kid A and Amnesiac so close together and not as a double album but I think are both great, I think of Kid A as more of a companion piece to Amnesiac.
I'll have to check out Jonny Greenwood I haven't heard any of his music.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
So it sounds like Radiohead has different 'sounds' depending on the album?
Electronica? Is that an album name or genre of music? For me, the less computer generated music, i.e. Electronica, the better. I'm into guitar rock much much more than electronica. Is there a specific album that would meet that requirement?

Get The Bends first, then OK Computer. That one will open you to their other sounds pretty well and you'll learn to dig it. Then get Hail To The Thief.

I have not listened to music in years. Meaning the last album I bought for myself was probably Alice In Chains "Dirt" and the last and only Radiohead song I know off the top of my head is "Creep." Yes it has been that long.
Anyway, when the new Radiohead album came out last year I listened to the clips on Amazon/itunes or whatever because of all the hype. It just did nothing for me. I thought it sounded like a garbled mess. So for the past 6 months was like the previous 10 years or so, ignoring the music scene.
Until I heard Coldplay's title song. So I bought that song before the new album came out and bought some of their older stuff. So I was okay this music stuff is pretty good. What other bands are like Coldplay. Oh yeah Radiohead.
This past weekend I bought In Rainbows after still feeling meh about the clips I heard. I said
screw it and give it a try before the new Coldplay album came out.
OMG - it is brilliant. I don't know how gescom could dismiss it like he did in the other tread. But whatever, I dismissed music for so long. In Rainbows is the best beginning to end album I have ever heard. Then again I haven't heard much.
i didn't dismiss it, i just said that i didn't like it. then i went on to list 8 albums off the top of my head that came out within the last year that i personally enjoyed more.
I agree with others that if you're into guitar rock, you should stick with Pablo Honey (or just Creep will do) The Bends, OK Computer, maybe Hail to the Thief.

go:
First off, your situation is almost identical to mine as of 2 years ago. I listened almost exclusively to Russian stuff since mid-90s, when the post grunge started to roll in and I couldn't take it anymore. I started catching up in the summer of 06.
If you like Coldplay, try:
Keane
Aqualung
Doves
Editors
Travis
You should definitely get into Muse ASAP. I'd recommend starting with Absolution, going on to Black Holes and Revelations and then going back to Origin of Symmetry
As for how you should discover Radiohead, I'd go in chronological order

On the Kid A/Amnesiac issue:
I thought about collapsing it into one album before, and came to realize that while Amnesiac has some of my very favorites (Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army), there are some track on Amnesiac that I'd be willing to relegate to B-Sides, while the only track off Kid A I'd even consider for that is, ironically, the title track, and even then, probably not.
