It seems most people fall into this category, and I do understand exactly where you are coming from - I think all of their albums are nothing less than brilliant, but on each album there are always tracks that while I respect what they are doing it's not something that I will listen to often.
In Rainbows is probably my most listened to of all over the last few years.
If you look at the humble beginnings of Pablo Honey and see the direction they have taken - I am literally in awe of their fearless refusal to sell out - And each time you get an album that charts well and they get a single or two out of it, the next one is guaranteed to be very challenging - OK Computer is widely regarded as their finest hour but instead of going down the Coldplay route, and fine tuning your art for the baying masses and the $$$ they dropped Kid A and Amnesiac on us...
