The 4th Quarterly CD Ranking List

Kid A should be on this list.
It would be, except that this is only a list of CDs that I own, and I don't own Kid A. If it was list of all the CDs I've heard, it would be quite different...
...and if it were a competition between Radiohead CDs, I'd take The Bends over Kid A anyday.
