OK Computer is still the pinnacle of Radiohead for me, and honestly my favorite album from the 90s. It managed to be fresh and interesting, while not forgetting that music is supposed to be enjoyable too. The Bends and Pablo Honey are close right behind for me. The rest of them? There's always a song or two I like, but a good majority live somewhere between forgettable and annoying.

My thoughts exactly.
People keep telling me how Radiohead keeps "trying new things" with each album. But quite honestly all the new stuff sounds the same to me. Even the mood is the same, a mixture of depressed and angry vocals.
