@Kidfried Wow, I'd definitely not thought about it to that level of detail so it's great to read the breakdown of what you think about each of the albums.
While it wouldn't be my favourite album I liked that it was taking the band further into the realms of electronica using more ambient sounds and away from their traditional guitar based music. There were a few bands around that time that had a similar sound like Muse, and it felt that this was Radiohead trying to differentiate themselves. I also remember hearing an interview with them at the time where they said their influences were moving towards the likes of Burial and that sort of dubstep sound which definitely comes out in some of the earlier tracks on the album.
In Rainbows is my personal favourite Radiohead album, that record brings back great memories. OK Computer and Hail to the Thief would be tied for my second favourite.
All this Radiohead talk has made me want to listen to their albums again, so this may change very soon!
@Jimmer-jammer I saw Sco in his duo setup with double-bassist Dave Holland in London, here in the UK last night, it was good, although not as good as when I saw him a couple of years ago, they both seemed pretty tired as it was the last night of their tour and Sco kept sitting down, but, hey, he is almost 70, you can't expect him to be on his feet all the way through every gig he does any more I spose. Also, there were many exceptional moments of guitar-playing during the gig, but he just had a lot more energy when I saw him, also in London, a couple of years ago. Anyway, here are Charles LLoyd and the Marvels (jazz) let me know what you think.
@Keith_Zissou Did you have chance to take a look at Kid A Mnesia Exhibition?
I’ve been taking a look a little bit each day and it strikes me as an amazing way to experience music. The way that it presents you with glimpses of tracks as you walk around to full tracks played within some really abstract but beautifully animated interactive pieces.
@Jimmer-jammer Well, we could try at least! lol, doubt we'd get very far though, speaking for myself, here, at least. Here's a jazz guitarist now, one of Sco's heroes. @nessisonett I'm mentioning you here too as there is some pretty nice sax work on this song. Let me know what you think guys!

@Kidfried Have you heard Rough and Rowdy Ways? What do you make of that compared to records like Nashville Skyline? @Jimmer-jammer Here's some rock n' roll for you, I reckon it's more your era than Malmsteen, let me know what you think, and if you have any recommendations for me in return?
