Really interesting ranking! Most perceive Pablo Honey as not a good representation of what the band would go on to do with later releases (although it did jumpstart their career with Creep, Also Hail To The Thief getting an 8/10 is deserved, it’s overlooked a lot). Here’s my ranking from best to worst:

  1. Kid A - my favourite album ever/10 - I could talk about it for hours, but TL;DR, this album indescribably speaks to me.

  2. In Rainbows - 10/10 - Perfectly sequenced and put together record, easy to enjoy compared to others.

  3. A Moon Shaped Pool - 9/10 - Subtle but beautiful, heavy on the heart.

  4. OK Computer - 9/10 - Great record, arguably more relevant now than in 1997.

  5. Amnesiac - 8/10 - Kid A’s sister album has some of Radiohead’s best tracks, less cohesive, however.

  6. Hail To The Thief - 8/10 - Muddled tracklist, but is overlooked as it has some of the best individual songs.

  7. The King Of Limbs - 6/10 - Took ages for this to click, very hypnotic drums. Live version is amazing.

  8. The Bends - 5/10 - Some good songs and overall an improvement for their sophomore album.

  9. Pablo Honey - 2/10 - Creep is good. Feels dated overall and less confident than newer releases.

yeah pablo honey is definitely not a good radiohead album, but as a general rock album I enjoyed it for what it is. in retrospect though it probably should've been like a 6 or 7 instead of an 8

that’s totally fair! i personally am not as into radiohead’s 90’s stuff and prefer their 00’s and onwards stuff but its respectable to appreciate their early work just as much as the newer stuff

I might rank other discographies of artists i like idk, could do beach house, tame impala, james blake, etc.
