Radiohead - OK Computer
Any number of Radiohead's albums could have been listed as their classic but 1997's OK Computer is for me easily their best. I can turn on just about any track from this album and be amazed. I was initially impressed by singles paranoid android and No Surprises (of which I did a great Mbira cover) but over time I grew to love the lesser known tracks on the album such as Let Down and Lucky. Overall just a wonderful, near perfect album.
2016 Album
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
On first listen I really didn't like this very much, it is like a lot of Radiohead's newer material a bit drony sounding if you aren't really paying attention, Thom Yorke's voice has never been my favourite but on further listening it is ok. It is definitely not up there with their best for me but I would go back to it. I couldn't though give you any particular recommendations as it all kind of blurred into one for me.
Ant's Random Recommendation
Radiohead - Kid A
I would guess this would be one of your favourite Radiohead Albums, this album was their 4th and released directly after OK Computer and is the turning point in the band's career as they experimented with a more electronic sound, for me personally I prefer the earlier rockier sounds but there is definitely a place for songs such as Everything in its Right Place.
Other Radiohead albums that I would highly recommend are The Bends (1995) and In Rainbows (2007) which was the first album of any real importance that was released as a 'pay what you want', as a student at the time I unfortunately paid nothing..
