This is a really tough question. I love all of their albums, but I've always had a special place in my heart for Amnesiac. In my mind, Pyramid Song and Life in a Glass House are two of their best songs.

From Bullet proof...I wish I was - Street Spirit on "the bends" is probably the best 15 minutes and thirty seconds a music album back to back to back to back

OK Computer. And I think some day they'll top it.
I don't think so. I'm not saying they won't make a better album, I'm sure of it. But with the way Radiohead is their albums are nothing alike. Kid A and OK Computer, both amazing albums both totally different.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if they made another song like Creep, Karma Police or Nude. Songs that are great to listen to when alone and many more that you can dance to like Idioteque and 15 Step. The diversity in Paranoid Android and the guitar work I just love.
EDIT: Oh and there is definitely love for Pablo Honey, it just isn't the best album overall. 'Creep' is my favorite song because it just cuts down to my most personal feelings as I'm sure it does for just about everyone else who listens to the lyrics.
"I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fücking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" -Radiohead
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Benjamin Franklin
I think that Radiohead had a definite transition between their albums...paticularly from Pablo Honey - Amnesiac.
It's easy to have that kind of transition, when the two albums you mention have three other albums sandwiched inbetween. Pablo Honey through Amnesiac covers all but two albums in their catalogue.
Quick refresher chronology: Pablo Honey - 1993 The Bends - 1995 OK Computer - 1997 Kid A - 2000 Amnesiac - 2001 Hail to the Thief - 2003 In Rainbows - 2007
I'd say their big transition came between The Bends and OK Computer.

Amnesiac puts me in a place where no one can touch me. Thom's musings on traffic in "Packt Like Sardines...," or death in "Pyramid Song," it all affects me. And that album is so very different than what any of their peers was doing in 2001. However, OK Computer is the best album of the 90's. It's all the little things that make it so absolutely impressive. The strings on "Climbing Up The Walls" are so out of this world.
But at the end of the day it always comes back to Amnesiac.

^^^ I LOVE IT!!! ;D
Thank you! More than a few Radiohead fans have shown love for it. The idea of immerse your soul in love is so powerful to me, and I try to let it come out in everything I do. Although, I get taken advantage of sometimes. Anyone else have a Radiohead tattoo?
