Why are people so down on Kid A and Amnesiac - they were a clear distancing from Radiohead's previous work, showing a thoughtful progression from their britpop beginnings, and that they weren't happy to churn out another 6 Ok Computers til their career died. Great songs off those albums - Pyramid Song, Like Spinning Plates, Idioteque, track 5 off amnesiac (can't remember the name but a killer riff), Everything in it's right place, life in a glasshouse.
They were ace. The reason people like Radiohead is their mix of technical brilliance, intelligence and politics. And their ability to right a fine tune!
