That Radiohead blurb is a spot of brilliance.

So, is there going to be a published version of this list?

Da Capo or some such get signed-up to give it a print release, I should say.

Nice.

Although I thought OKC was where the boys first became the Entropyneers and all else was the logical falling-apart from there until HTTC.

Are you going to post your number ratings for these?

"But I like" what? Amnesiac? Based on the fact that it's in his top 100, I'd say he likes it, probably more than I do.

Wow. Cant remember the last time there has been more than 20 grammatically strung words that outlined a reasonable, if arguable, position about music.

Great work Darrin. Best thing I've read on Obner in a very long time.

If I'm not mistaken they range from 5.0 at the century mark to 7.9 at the height. We can fill in the blanks using a formula only konstantin need understand.

My recent formula:

obner = nerd x nerd

Yeah, get back to me when you have a point to make.

Here's a point:

You seem to be trying to subvert K's review to your own Radiohead hatred when it doesn't actually support it.

I see 4 red X's.

Maybe I can see 'em on my home computer. I gather they're "Amnesiac" and "Bluefinger"?

You have aced "Reading Comprehension" -- though, since they are ranked "100 -- Bluefinger" & "99 -- Amnesiac", one could quibble over your second sentence. You were prolly just putting the titles in alphabetic order, that said.

ONE SHOULD NEVER QUIBBLE WITH A GAR'S COMPREHENSION SKILL.

I don't necessarily agree with the take on Amnesiac, but I do enjoy the angle you went with on the album blurb.
I'm a Radiohead fan and I tend to enjoy Amnesiac, but I'm not sure if the album would ever make my final cut for #100.

Bluefinger is nice but in the lower tier of FB/BF releases from this decade.

Amnesiac, as I've mentioned countless times, is the album I'm still waiting to get my $14.95 back for. It's boring music for boring people.

Solid writing, Dr. K, as per usual.

I think Amnesiac is OK and would rate it in the middle of Radiohead's catalog, FWIW.

And I am very impressed with the effort and style with which this is being pulled off so far.

Sorry, you had to scroll sideways, it looked lovely in preview mode. Hopefully it will be the last time you have to suffer the indignity of scrolling.
