"Is there a definitive Radiohead album?"

I haven't really heard anything by Radiohead, despite them having been recommended to me countless times.

Do they have a defining album, something I could buy to see whether or not I like them? If not, tell me what you think their best is.

Thanks.

sigur ros Are are nothing like Radiohead.

Very ambient, strange music.

NO NO NO! ART!

Definitely nothing like Sigur Ros at all.

No other band is "like" Radiohead.

Just ordered OK Computer for about £8.

Someone mentioned that they were supported by Sigur Ros at a few of their live acts. Are they anything alike?

Fitter Happier is an interval, not a song.
And Electioneering is genius.

Electioneering is a fantastic song!

And Fitter Happier is good lyric wise, but erm. The melody is a bit lacking.

"like a cat...tied to a stick"

Apart from Electioneering and Fitter, Happier (if that counts), everything in OK Computer is far the superior.

Everything on The Bends is very good, but none as good as Paranoid Android.

Okay, this is the list:

Everything on OK Computer
Everything on The Bends

Don't buy one album, just download a load of tracks.

Someone should start a list of their greatest songs.
