But I often find myself reaching for the I Might Be Wrong Live album for my favourite versions of a few Kid A tracks. Plus the second disc of the ten year release is good too.

I think this is still my favourite Radiohead track. Getting just a little excited about seeing them on Saturday now...

it's practically classic rock

though perhaps the I Might Be Wrong live version is even better.

Kid A is fully worthy of all the hype and enigma associated with it. To have given birth to that from the depths of writer's block is a wonderful turn-around of affairs.

becomes self-parody becomes...

...not their best - but their most respectful offering. http://midnightpunk.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/radiohead-kid-a/

which it was. I even started a thread here to announce and commemorate the fact.

Was a fun thread. Arguments, abuse, spam. Everything you could want in a thread.

Before it was actually released. Picked tracks according to whatever the press said the titles were. Don't know if I had all the correct ones or not. It seems when the actual lp came out, there were some differences, but they guy who I gave my illegal CD to died, so I can't compare the two.

then I grew up and realised it's clearly their best effort. flawless. 10/10

and listnening to it in my car on the way to school and being all like, this sin't rock songs but it sounds perfectly like radiohead. there ahd been an NME track by track that had scared me, but as soon as i heard it it won me over.

i bought it on day of release but didn't have a hidden booklet. i was pretty upset when i found this out. it wasn't until the next summer when i noticed there was a copy in Rusty's Records behind the counter that had the booklet. i asked for that specific copy. the chap working there hadn't realised they didn't all come with the booklet, another £10 well spent.

I bought my third copy when i finally found that card board book version at a decent price.

i've since had one of my versions stolen, but thankfully it was the version without the booklet, so i don't really care. I'm going to have to listen to it today. it's the same weather as when i fell in love with it.

I knew they were there obviously, but had the daft mentality of disliking them for no real reason. Creep was one of those songs that never clicked with me. The Bends made them a BIG band, REM bigged them up, and it put me off (yep, snobbery in full effect). OK Computer came out and went super-nova but I was more tied up with Vanishing Point and Ladies & Gentlemen.
Then Kid A came out, I read the reviews, read and heard bad opinions, saying it was experimental and weird. So I went and bought it without hearing a note. Completely loved it and still do.
After that I went and bought OK Computer, then Amnesiac came out.....blah blah.....yeah, I really like them now. Kid A is their best for me. 12 years ago eh, making me 28 when I bought it. Still sounds fresh.

my old man pokes his head round the door during the title track and says 'you've gone weird son, this isn't music, you know that?'

I used to listen to all kinds of shit then Kid A made me think oh wait music can do this to me? Slightly inevitable that it would be Kid A that did this first out of reputation and having grown up on the bends and ok computer a bit but I wasn't much of a musicy person
