Best Ever Albums - Top 1,000 Albums # 5 Radiohead - Kid A

 

The second Radiohead in a row as we countdown towards # 1. Kid A is startling, still. Almost twenty years on. In the same way as Kraftwerk did in the Seventies it feels like Radiohead are predicting the future. Unnerringly.This is a briliant, glittering sea of possibilities. 

Listening through now, it also sounds like their most coherent listen. Elsewhere they're a brilliant but jagged listening experience. Unlike yesterday's In Rainbows I can fully understand  why this record is so high on the list. In fact I wouldn't mind if it were top of the whole thing. It's a phenomenal achievement.
