You completely missed the point of my post. Go back, read your last sentence; that is exactly what I am saying annoys me.

Give me a break, "change the recording industry forever"? This is what drives me nuts about diehard radiohead fans, everything they do is a groundbreaking miracle that will change the world. Guess what, in about 5 years, no one will be giving a second thought to In Rainbows. The next big marketing scheme will come around, whoever comes up with it will have fans throwing themselves to the ground in their praise, and 5 years after that, no one will give a ****.

Radiohead did nothing that will change the recording industry. People were downloading music years before In Rainbows, people will be downloading music years after. Radiohead put out a great album, and boosted their old album sales like crazy because of all the new fans who suddenly though they were the new messiah come to deliver them from the evil record labels.

If they changed the recording industry forever then how come if I wanted In Rainbows now i'd have to buy it through the usual mediums.

They changed nothing , it was a publicity stunt.

Both of you missed it completely. In Rainbows will change how bands interact with their labels. No it won't change anything with people themselves buying the CD. That wasn't the intent. People who buy CDs will continue to buy CDs. People who buy online will continue to buy online. People who pirate will continue to pirate. Radiohead has spoken out against the recording industry for years. They want to see the money go to who they feel is the rightful beneficiaries, the artists. They wanted to show that you don't need a major label to make good music.

I have not missed anything.

They were not the first to do it and the fact of the matter is you can't buy it in that format now.

Like I said publicity stunt.

Well I guess only time will tell...

Fail

tracks from best to worst on Kid A imo;

1. Kid A
2. How To Disappear Completely
3. Optimistic
4. Treefingers
5. Idioteque
6. The National Anthem
7. In Limbo
8. Motion Picture Soundtrack
9. Morning Bell
10. Everything In Its Right Place

but to be quite honest all tracks are ace.

I'm quite different:

1. Idioteque
2. The National Anthem
3. Morning Bell
4. Motion Picture Soundtrack
5. How to Disappear Completely
6. Everything in its Right Place
7. Kid A
8. Treefingers
9. Optimistic
10. In Limbo

Funny, I'd say Kid A is my least favorite on that album, it's just not consistent enough for me.

I don't know if I could rank the album track by track, but How to Disappear Completely, Motion Picture Soundtrack and Kid A are probably my favorite tracks. I also thoroughly enjoy Treefingers.
