"Pablo Honey" was a good album. Unfortunately, it came out during the middle of the grunge era (1993). Rather than fade into obscurity, they made "The Bends," which may have very well been the best album put out in 1995.
I've heard some of "Kid A" and "Amnesiac," and quite frankly, I'm ashamed I don't own either of them.
But "OK Computer"...that album just makes me go "Wow!" It just shows how talented they are as musicians. And Thom Yorke has that mumbling, tortured kind of voice. There are certain vocalists that are just immediately distinguishable: Peter Garrett (of Midnight Oil), Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam), and Thom Yorke come directly to mind.
