I was glad when “ok computer” won the Grammy for best album. i’m Sort of an “art rock” guy at heart so it was nice to see it reach the mainstream or whatever. I never really liked the album all that much. It’s ok. I used to always root for the driver of the car when I saw that video.
I remember people talking up Kid A but they were people I was accustomed to ignoring. It took me quite by surprise.I think it & most of what they’ve done since is pretty much right up my ally. The weirder they get the more I like them. By the same token, I like the more “can/landed” rock album sounding tracks too.

i guess they had context when they were seen/heard as an upsetter within rock, but that context seems to be gone. Now they are elder statesmen, who don't seem to embarrass themselves.

I think they worked better as an indie rock thing than whatever prog/electronic things they did later. Their best asset was a pretty distinctive singer in Thom Yorke, and they managed the dynamic of a song quite well, it was a space they inhabited comfortably. Their later stuff just isn't convincing or interesting.

They do have a certain sort of fan-base don't they?
There's no doubt that they have a unique sound - which in this day and age is pretty difficult to achieve.
EDIT - I'm listening back to Kid A, which is probably my favourite of theirs. It's singular, unsettling and just a bit weird. I can see how that can totally antagonise a lot of "music lovers" - you know, the ones who want a bit of dynamic, full-throttle RANGE and just, rock a bit y'know?
It's not a glorious affirmation of life that's for sure.

Still the best band ever, and every thing I'd want in a band. Though the dance music tunes are kinda blending in to each other, and sounding similar. I wonder does selway get nervous with every new album.
"Ah, Thom what's that?" "New drum machine for johnny" "Another one? Cool, cool, cool....yep coooool"
"Ah, Thom who's that?" "Brilliant in demand session jazz drummer" "Ooooooook, so no drum machine for this album" "Oh no, drum machine's still there" "Why do you hurt me so Thom?"

I find Kid A a bit flat now really, although I respect them massively for sticking it to the rockists at the time. It has a very cynical vibe, it really does sound like a band pissed off with its own hype. Amnesiac seemed to have a better range of sounds on it.
I'm sure I must have heard the recent two or three but I can't remember much about them. There was that one with the Trumpton hauntology in the video which I took the piss out of for ripping the idea from Half Man Half Biscuit.
