personally, i'd think you'd like Amnesiac more

Well, i'm going to ease my way into the band with the more familiar albums that I see mentioned a lot. Than if I can learn to enjoy their music, i'll get more.

This is fantastic and I am stealing it. I was silly and started with Pablo Honey, actually, but whenever I recommend a starting place to another lost soul it generally looks something like this. I would NEVER recommend starting with Pablo Honey, btw.

Anything that has a possibility of recommending Pablo Honey before anything else is wrong.

Haha. My personal flowchart went a little like this:

Pablo Honey [hated it] -------> The Bends [wasn't interested because of Pablo Honey aftertaste] -------> OK Computer [liked "Karma Police" but was disappointed to discover the album wasn't very good] -------> Kid A [finally a reasonably good Radiohead album] -------> Amnesiac [ooh, two good albums in a row! I hope these guys continue making good music] -------> Hail to the Thief [damnit, why did they choose to go back to dull mode?] -------> In Rainbows [downloaded it, listened to it once] -------> Radiohead has continued producing albums?

As much as I like them, Radiohead are very "babby's first" in terms of non-dance electronic music

The chart's kinda true. I had to listen to OKC and the Bends before I actually got into Kid A.
