I loved them in high school, when all they had put out was _Pablo Honey_, _The Bends_ and _OK Computer_. Then I kind of stopped listening for a while and wasn’t into the new direction they were going (_Kid A_ was good, but I wasn’t so sure about _Amnesiac_ and _Hail to the Thief_), but then they put out _In Rainbows_, which was awesome. And I didn’t even mind that I accidentally paid full price. It was a “pay what you want” thing and I was going to pay $5, but it turned out the website wanted British pounds, and 5 pounds was like $13 at the time. But it was such a great album I would have paid double that. Still one of their best, up there with _The Bends_ and _OK Computer_.

[Let Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxrax9iYOBo) off of OK Computer is stunning in it’s use of voice as an instrument, especially in the last part of the song.

[Climbing Up The Walls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RRrLE5IOQ), also off of OKC, is an amazing song about meeting one’s own shadow.

[Reckoner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxx11xnoJHg) off of In Rainbows is so gorgeous.

Ok Computer spawned some great b-sides, including [Polyethylene](https://youtu.be/Wzmon6oKwII?t=388).
