It's tied with OKC for 2nd place for me... for starters it's their most accessible album besides maybe The Bends, but it is a hell of a lot better. Combine that with a lot of the people voting probably got their first Radiohead exposure from In Rainbows and that explains the number of votes it has.
In Rainbows itself is beautiful. While it's not the experimental Radiohead that we love, it has some of the just plain best songwriting and melodies they've ever crafted. The arpeggios on Weird Fishes and the percussion on Reckoner are unmatched by anything similar they've done before.
