In this list we rank all nine of Radiohead's studio albums by alphabetical order. Are you excited? Let's go!

Amnesiac

A! M! N! There's no doubt that, regardless of its quality, Radiohead's album Amnesiac is ranked first in the alphabet.

2. A Moon-Shaped Pool

This one is a bit of a controversial pick, given that both Amnesiac and Radiohead's most recent album start with the letter A. This decision was made even more complicated by the fact that both albums chose M as their second letter. After much debate however, we decided to place A Moon-Shaped Pool after Amnesiac on the basis of its third letter, O, falling just short of N in the alphabet. What a tight race!

3. The Bends

Although Radiohead's sophomore album does technically start with T, it takes third spot in our list due to the funny rules of alphabetization. Although you may disagree with this placement and many automated music players will place The Bends lower in their alphabetical rankings, we decided to abide by the official alphabetical rules which require the ranker to completely ignore the word "the". Officially represented by the letter B, The Bends falls into third place. Already, Radiohead's letter coverage is impressive.

4. Hail to the Thief

Hail to the Thief is particularly notable as the only Radiohead album to start with H. Because H comes after B in the alphabet, Hail to the Thief comes fourth in our ranking.

5. In Rainbows

Doing for I what Hail to the Thief did for H, In Rainbows comes fifth in our list. Once again, we have pretty good letter coverage from Radiohead, almost making up for the glaring C-G gap in their discography.

6. Kid A

As we move into the latter half of our list, we come across Radiohead's groundbreaking fourth album, Kid A. Despite the Kid in question being named after the first letter of the alphabet, Kid A ranks sixth in our list. By choosing to refer to A by his title, Radiohead places Kid A in the K bracket. If Radiohead chose to name their album A the Kid, it would rank first in the alphabet and link alphabetically to its companion album, Amnesiac. Our hot take is that Radiohead's show of restraint in naming prevented overcrowding of the letter A. Good job, boys!

7. The King of Limbs

Another tricky choice, The King of Limbs matches Kid A to the first two letters. After careful consideration, however, The King of Limbs is ranked after Kid A on the basis of its third letter, N. At least N is further from D than O!

8. OK Computer

In eighth place O is Radiohead's critically acclaimed third album. Much like the infamous proper noun of Pablo Honey, the global prominence of the English word OK means that OK Computer maintains its place in the alphabet regardless of the Latin alphabet language it's translated into. Whether this was a conscious choice designed to create a global standard for OK Computer's alphabetical aesthetic or merely a by-product of Radiohead's desire to demonstrate a state of agreeableness toward their computers can only be answered by the band themselves.

9. Pablo Honey

Whether you love Pablo Honey or hate it, you have to admit that P is behind O in the alphabet. Interestingly enough, Radiohead's rock oriented first album is also the last entry in this alphabet oriented list. Boys and girls alike will delight in Radiohead's early experimentation with the letter P, but will be equally glad to see them move on to earlier letters in their later works.

In conclusion, despite getting occasionally hung up on the letters K and A, Radiohead has shown a great degree of alphabetical variety and show no sign of stopping. Maybe one day, we'll even get an album that starts with L.
