Consistently my favourite band of the past 25 years. I love watching them play.
Thom’s just a few months older than me and it has felt like their influences and evolution as a band has mirrored my own listening at that time. Kid A felt a completely natural step to me as in the couple of years before that I’d been absorbing a lot of Warp (particularly Boards of Canada and Autechre) too. Love that album, even if my wife struggles a little more with that one.
Depending on my mood my preference is for OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows or A Moon Shaped Pool. If I’m honest, my favourite thing is seeing them perform their more electronic songs as a full band. I preferred the live/In the Basement versions of almost everything from King of Limbs.
