Kid A will always hold a special place in my heart as the album that introduced me to Radiohead. However, in terms of Radiohead's two techno albums Kid A and Amnesiac, I tend to like Amnesiac a bit more. There are some amazing songs on this album. Only two made my top 20: Pyramid Song and You And Whose Army?. The driving piano beat heard in Pyramid Song is amazing. It's tough to pinpoint the exact rhythm, but apparently it is in 4/4 time. You And Whose Army? is a classic example of Radiohead songs starting slow and quiet and gradually crescendoing throughout the song until the end of the song is completely different than the beginning. They do this in a lot of their songs and is a fantastic sound.
Honorable mentions here make-up essentially the rest of the album. Packt Like Sardines In A Crushed Tin Box, Knives Out (Apparently the movie is names after this song. Who knew?), Dollars & Cents (I really like the live version of this song, the album version too me isn't quite as good.), and I Might Be Wrong. Truly a fantastic album, and maybe my second favorite Radiohead album. To me it is a little underrated and kinda flies under the radar, but is quite good.
