i didn't include albums i didn't own. i'll make a new poll when i get them all...

sorry your favorit ewasn't there!

...but i'm glad you like radiohead even if you don't consider them prog (which i do)
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

'Ok Computer'

I've not been able to get my head around 'Amnesiac' and 'Hail to the Theif' yet. Maybe I'm listening to them in the 'wrong' way??

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I've never really got into "Hail to the Thief", as it seems to be a bit of a return to basics album - but I think that "Amnesiac" is easier to get into than "Kid A". The two albums are companions really - parts 1 and 2 of a kind of story/concept.

Listen to some early Can - that might help. I'd recommend "Ege Bamyasi" as an "in at the deep end" starter, or "Tago Mago".

Then try "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" - maybe the latter first.

Both albums are growers, and "difficult", BTW - I find that every time I go back to them there seems to be something significant that I missed before and I get into the flow better each time.

Maybe that's just me...
