Kid A is the album I listen to when I want to go to sleep. It's just so weird, that I instantly fall asleep. It isn't bad music, but it isnt like OK Computer. My Top5 are OK Computer, Pablo Honey, In Rainbows, The Bends and Hail To The Thief.
King Of Limbs ... didn't really dig it. I must listen to it a couple more times.
this is a question I have asked for years, I have yet to find one fan point me in the proper direction of this reported "genius". I'm not here to trash them, like you said, if you like them, more power to you, but for the life of me, I have yet to hear one thing that even resembles "genius". Honestly, I don't even find anything I've head from them remotely interesting (musch less 'genius'), but I'll admit that after all of what I would consider to be unwarranted hype over the years has probably jaded me and has given me a predisposition to disliking them even more.I haven't been listening to these guys much lately, but there is one thing I really wonder about this band. Why are most if not all the fans complimenting this band in the form of either "they are easily the best band to ever come into the music business", or "everything they do, is gold".

So, I'll put the question to the fans once again, please... show me something... anything ... anything at all that would pique my interest and say "you know, maybe I was wrong".
In other words, specifically point out songs that are considered "genius", please don't just say "anything and everything on OK Computer" (or something similar). I promise to listen with open ears, well for as long as I can anyway.
