Hail to the Thief was the *first* Radiohead album I heard, and it was so darn wonderful that I've gone and bought the four previous ones as well (no Pablo Honey as yet).
I still think HTTT is the best in some ways, because it's so versatile. It's as if they took what they'd done in the previous albums and threw it all together. It amazes me that the one band can do electronica and Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones and make it all work.
Of the other albums, I think OK Computer is the best, it rivals HTTT in my affections. But heck, they're all good.

I don't listen to online radio much but I guess I should, at least occasionally because I know there's a ton of great music I'm missing. I play classical violin so I'm usually plumbing the depths of that genre for goodies.
The Bends probably has the best individual songs, but OK Computer gets my vote because it fits together as an album better. I like all their albums, including Pablo Honey, although I think the last few songs aren't all that great. I don't listen to HTTF much, I do like it a lot but even so I think it's their worst album, despite a few really good songs.
