Before I die, I MUST hear Sit Down Stand Up live. When I saw them right after In Rainbows came out it started raining during the end of their set and I was fucking praying to every god in the universe that they would play it so I could sing THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS THE RAINDROPS

OK Computer
Hail to the Thief
Kid A
The Bends
In Rainbows
Amnesiac
King of Limbs
Pablo Honey

I think King of Limbs is less of an album than Amnesiac - you could probably make one killer album from the two, but King of Limbs is EP length (long EP) and HG stated the obvious about Amnesiac.

HTTT was Radiohead pissed off at George Bush and their record label, but Thom Yorke can't write direct protest lyrics, so he just made this anxious, paranoid, pissed off music instead. It sounds so much better to me now than it did when it came out. The title sucked at the time, but out of context it's kind of cool. And seeing some of those songs live was fucking unreal. 2+2=5, Sit Down Stand Up, There There, Scatterbrain. Some of my favorite Radiohead tracks now.

Don't worry, they'll release TKoL part deux and then we'll all "get it"

I've only heard it two or three times but I like King of Limbs better than anything since Kid A. Substantially better.

I saw them play it in 2003 in Vancouver and it was amazing. They did 2+2=5 and then Sit Down right after. But the definate and unexpected highlight of that show was seeing them play Kid A (the song) live. Not to mention seeing Michael Stipe sing Karma Police with them. Fuck it...the whole show was awesome.

How the hell do you even play Kid A live?? Those are alien vocals.

Kid A live blew my face off.

Hail to the Thief
Kid A
The King of Limbs
In Rainbows
Amnesiac
OK Computer
The Bends
Pablo Honey

Although everything up to and including OK Computer would be in my top 50 albums and those ones (other than Hail to the Thief) are pretty much interchangeable. The Bends has some good songs and I never really listen to Pablo Honey much at all.

I was at that show, it was such a great setlist and a great show. The thing that ruined it for me though was the fact that I was in the seats and there was this lesbian couple sitting next to my wife and me that didn't know how to enjoy the show. We kept trying to stand up the whole show because almost everyone else was, and they kept yelling at us to "sit the fuck down". We weren't even in front of them we were next to them??? My wife was pretty plastered and almost got in a Dr. Garbanzoht with one of them. It kind of ruined my first Radiohead concert experience. I will never go back to that amphitheatre unless I have floor tickets.

Haha funny you say that, because EVERYONE on the hill was standing and all I wanted to do was sit down. I usually enjoy standing at shows but that hill is at such an awkward angle for you legs and ankles that it starts to become very uncomfortable to stand on after a while. Still an absolutely phenomenal show though. I need to see if I can find the setlist somewhere online.

We had tickets to that show but we didn't go because it was out in the middle of nowhere in a school night and I couldn't stand the folks we were supposed to go with.

Are you referring to the Oregon date of that tour? I vaguely remember trying to get tickets for that stop and it being in some random ass town in the boonies.

We were going to go to the one in WA but it was way bad weather and on a Thursday, and like HG said, that girl we were going to go with is sexually crazy. While I wanted to see Radiohead again so bad, it just was not worth it in that instance. I saw them in Salem in 1998 and it was incredible.
