I have to go with Kid A because every song on there is very simple, defined and memorable in a minimalist electronic rock way, though OK Computer is a very close second followed by The Bends.
Terria
Kid A, with Hail close behind.

I wouldent call Kid A simple at all though, espeically after seeing them replicate the stuff at a live show. They have a guy who sits on the floor surrounded by an ocean of effects pedals and knobs and wires, and is constantly tweaking this and resetting that and sampling those to run through these.

Kid A has oodles of those underneath meshing, layered sounds and syncapated beats and notes. The only simple track I can think of is Treefingers.

The Ramones are simple and minimalist, Radiohead are not -especially not on this album.

Pablo Honey their first and, dare i say, only great album

I could never in a million years see where you got that idea from other than the fact that Radiohead did a cover of Wish You Were Here.

Minimalist is a considered art style, as well as a musical style. Being minimalist does not suggest in any way that there isn't a complexity to it, but the general combination of tones and textures along with moments of silence (as in Idioteque and the title track as well as Motion Picture Soundtrack) gives it what is known as a minimalist art style, and this album could be considered art rock as well.

Radiohead: Kid A

In which Radiohead mix minimalist experimental electronica with their trademark atmospheric rock sound. All ten songs from the album arranged especially for voice, guitar and piano, in guitar tablature and standard notation or special piano arrangements

Not to be picky, since I don't really know (I don't really listen to Radiohead), but you're using what a sheet music company, on a public sheet music site says for your source.

I don't really know how much that actually helps you.

Didnt know they did a cover of Wish You Were Here. Its more the way that everything from Ok Computer has been sort of trippy and spaced out, kind of like its suposed to be played at a Darkside of the Moon lazer light show to a crowd of teenagers on acid.

Out of the lot posted I'd have to say my favorite album is "Amnesiac", but my favourite record has to be the " I might be wrong live recordings".

I was just using an example. Taken from one of their official sites:

http://www.greenplastic.com/band/index.php

Expectations for the band's fourth album were stratospheric, which placed additional pressure on the already perfectionist band, and led to several stumbling blocks along the way. An intense buzz of excitement among the band's still-growing following greeted the pre-release appearance of most of the album's tracks on the Internet in MP3 form; they displayed an all-out fascination with challenging, often minimalist electronica.Titled Kid A...

There you go.

I've heard a whole bunch of tracks from them, I'm leaning towards OK Computer as their best so far.
