My thoughts are very similar with a few tweaks. I would likely put Hail to the Thief and King of Limbs a little higher, A Moon Shaped Pool a bit lower, but the top 3 or 4 are exactly the same. In Rainbows really blew my mind when I heard that one again a few months ago.

Swap Amnesiac and Kid A and that's basically where I'm at, too.

yeah, that one got me again. Also i saw them for the first time in that tour, which was amazing....for me it was the last great moment of RH.
A Moon Shaped Pool is one i really enjoy but i also saw them live at that tour and it was kinda boring.

Hold up -- so you'd rank Kid A 6th-7th? You've lost your damn mind.

It's not a great record.
When it first came out, I found the high points to be amazing, but the more ambient pieces (title track and Treefingers, specifically), to be meandering pieces that I wanted to like, but didn’t really love. And they were placed early in the album, so it mucked up the flow.
20 years later, and I’ve consumed so much ambient and minimalist stuff that I now count those two tracks as some of my favorite in their catalog. I needed the frames of reference of Eno, Can, Neu!, Budd, etc to fully enjoy them.
Now I love those tracks and couldn’t imagine the album without them. It’s a GREAT record.
It's not for me.
Optimistic and Idioteque are great songs. How to Disappear is solid. Everything in it's Right Place is fine, if a tad long and repetitive.
The rest of the album is totally disposable. I don't enjoy listening to the album (it doesn't flow well at all) or the other tracks that I didn't mention already. But I also don't like ambient minimalist music. So maybe Kid A is GREAT for what it is but what it is isn't for me.
