The Bends for me. Though OK Computer is pretty damn good, there are a couple of things about the album to stop it being their best, in my eyes (ears).

Plus, I just prefer the sound of The Bends overall.

I thought In Rainbows was excellent, but more mellow than usual. I tried to get an "electronic music" fan interested, but no go. OK computer is the best, in my opinion. I heard that amnesiac is the b sides to OK Computer, anyone else hear that?

no. im pretty sure some of it was from when they did kid a. or they may have planned on recording a follow up to kid a all along or something like that.

my understanding is that the songs of both Kid A and Amnesiac were written at the same time but radiohead felt that the songs on Amnesiac didn't fit the "idea" of Kid A so it came out a year later....

or something like that

Kid A and Amnesiac were recorded at the same time. I dont think there is much to it other than that.
