It's interesting how a few people on here seem to hate it. I love Kid A but it's probably not even in my top 5 Radiohead albums, if that makes any sense.

I was talking to a friend a while ago though, about how Radiohead could release an album of fart noises and people would still rave over it. I suppose whether or not people did that with Kid A merits discussion, but I personally think it's fantastic. And that's my own opinion -- Hail to the Thief was my first Radiohead album and I got into them by myself, and listened to all their stuff by myself, without any kind of outside influence telling me what was good or what wasn't. And I came to my own conclusion that Kid A was a dense but rewarding album with a few glimmers of genius ("The National Anthem" has been my ringtone for about 4 years), and at the time it was a bold step for the band.

Excellent points all around, especially the bolded part. The weird thing for me is my favorite parts of the album are "Everything In It's Right Place" and "How To Disappear Completely". I doubt you will ever hear either of those songs played in public EVER, but they make the album for me.

Both are absolutely sublime songs to be fair. Haunting but gorgeous at the same time.

Absolute beast! Not many people like Idlewild, good to see one on GOT.

Also, I've been thinking of listening to Mastodon and Echo & The Bunnymen for some time, where should I start people?

P.s You lot all need Lastfm. Quality way to find out new bands.

Captain was a beautifully mental record. Saw them live years ago before they turned into REM. They were fun.

Roddy Woomble is playing a little working men's club about 100 metres from my house in a couple of months - ace!

Saw the lovely Soko last night. Interesting gig, simple sad songs and bucket fulls of charisma.

Oh and she's hot as [Poor language removed].

I could be the only house fan on GOT, but I just got a Creamfields 2012 ticket and just cannot wait! Avicii will be there

along with The Swedes, Tiesto, Eric Prydz, Pete Tong, Guetta, Judge Jules et al.

So my playlist will consist of these fine DJs for the next 6 months! Again, cannot wait! Always the best weekend of the summer.

Aye me and Milks have been rocking Django Django too. Again, like the Grimes album, I've not quite heard anything like it.

Originality is a rare commodity in music these days so you've got to say it's a good year for music so far! :)

You've nailed it there mate, they're very original. Like Grimes it's like they've filled niche's which didn't even exist. It's so refreshing to listen to something when you can say that you've heard nothing like it before.

And it has been a fantastic year for music so far, indeed.
