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.

Just out of curiosity, how many people agree with this flow chart?

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.

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?

mine:-

Creep (loved it) -> Pablo Honey (crap) -> The Bends (good) -> My Iron Lung (outtakes) (okay but a bit boring) -> singles from OKC (gave up on them, not into this minimalist ambient sh!t) -> singles from HTTT (much much better) -> Kid A (above average, don't really dig the Autechre influences) -> Amnesiac (great, much better than just "Kid A" outtakes) -> In Rainbows (disliked at first, grew on me) -> King of Limbs (not bad)
