OK Computer > Kid A. I listened to them in reverse-chronological order and YouTube suggests Kid A grows on you more, but my first impression remains the same!
Still, both were fine albums. I enjoyed Paranoid Android, Electioneering, and Idioteque (my favorite song between the two albums) the most. I've also never listened to much of Radiohead before; I've casually heard In Rainbows a few years ago and remember "Creep" from the days of MTV, but that's it. Any recommended next steps in checking out this legendary band I've never heard much of before?

Just started Amnesiac -- Pyramid Song's good like a lot of their music, but I'm not impressed compared to what they can do yet! Then again, it's two songs into the album.....

Maybe it takes time to appreciate their music as fully as they deserve, but so far they've been quality regardless of any particular ranking you wish to give them!
Amnesiac's been fine, it just hasn't decided what kind of album it wants to be in the same way the two albums in the topic title have decided to be.

Good to hear you're enjoying it to some degree! That's how I felt about In Rainbows for a while. I liked it the first few times I heard it, but it took several listens for me to be fully blown away by it. But for OKC, Kid A, Amnesiac, and HttT, they were mostly boring the first few listens then I grew to love them. Kid A took probably 20 listens for me to fully appreciate it. Now I think it's the most impressive album I've ever heard.
