Meanwhile there is a split between my brother (over 40) and me (under 40) where I find The Bends slightly dated in a couple of respects.

Yeah great song.There There is, for me, underrated. Yes it gets credit but it's one of the all time great songs let alone a all time Radiohead song. It's number 27 in The Guardian list
Builds atmosphere so well and pays off spectacularly.
Let Down is their masterpiece
A truly, truly beautiful song.

Some good calls there.
The Smile are excellent. Two beautiful albums in quick succession.

You've just reminded me of the existence of Banana Co. - a song I discovered from a Vox magazine cover CD: https://www.discogs.com/release/487663-Various-Haute-CoutureThe Daily Mail… sublime…. Oh and Banana Co… almost forgot… last flowers
Listening to it now, cheers!

'In Rainbows' also gets my vote as favourite RH album, and from that 'Reckoner' is their most underrated tune - like soul music interpreted by a white rock band, but sung with genuine soul.
Agree. I have heard this song so many times BUT it still sounds fresh and the soaring guitar work around 4 mins in still gets me.

Ful Stop off of Moon Shaped Pool is fantastic.
It is bleak " clinging onto bottles " but beautifully uplifting at the end " I am going to grow wings "

I've always loved Exit Music (for a film). It never gets a mention
Kosh
'The' Yaztromo
For me it’s a forerunner of Karma Police… mind you I also love Pop is Dead… not so sure Thom does
some of the OK era b-sides were awesome too 
“Died an ugly death by back catalogue…”
One of my fave lines in a song ever.
Bishops Robes is brill and underrated too

It's on the Guardian list shared by OP. As an aside, a fair few 20-somethings know it because of Black Mirror.

This is my 15 year olds favourite song/favourite album/favourite band
I’m quite proud of that as it’s not all down to his parents influence as Mrs PWK and I have a lot of bands we listen to, a lot of which he has no interest in. Radiohead get no more airplay in this house than any other band we like.

I’ve said this on here before, IMO (almost) every album released was better than the previous.
I say almost, as it’s up to In Rainbows. KOL didn’t meet my high expectations, although it’s probably due another listen. MSP bounced back as a great album.

I was just about to say 'Electioneering' doesn't get enough love.
