These are a few of my favourites of the decade but frankly the time I've spent with It Still Moves in the car are truly memorable. Driving especially, whether it's nothern Ontario, 4am with daylight rising or southern Alberta in January during a raging blizzard, there's no other album I'd sooner hear.

If there is a comparable moment to when the guitar solo in "Mahgeetah" kicks in on Kid A I've missed it.

Its good I won't deny that, but not on the same level.

There are a few songs on Kid A that have inspired emotional or transcendental moments for me.

Hearing the first notes of Everything in its right place as you start a morning jog or a long early morning walk on a rather cold day when the streets are desolate.

At the end of the National Anthem when there is all the cacophony of the jazz horns and Thom Yorke is just basically spazzing out.

This specific verse of How to Disappear Completely:

In a little while
Ill be gone
The moments already passed
Yeah its gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

And finally the pump organ and Harp of Motion Picture Soundtrack along with the lyrics "I will see you in the next life"

The first notes of both albums are awesome, but I can almost get misty during the first few moments of It Still Moves.

As for It still moves, I've always been a big fan of having "Rollin Back" and "Just one thing" back to back on the album.

The steel guitar part in Rollin Back is beautiful.
