The Bends is a great way to start off if you are just getting into Radiohead. It's a great starter album. The absolute best to me, is OK Computer. I love Street Spirit from The Bends. It reminds me of my town and the circle of life and monotony. It's got a killer video too. Awesome lyrics.
rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
all these things in all positions
all these things will one day take control
and fade out again and fade out
this machine will will not communicate these thoughts
and the strain i am under
be a world child form a circle before we all go under
and fade out again and fade out again
cracked eggs dead birds
scream as they fight for life
i can feel death can see it's beady eyes
all these things into frution
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
and fade out again and fade out again.
