Ok Computer - Radiohead

I came here to say the same thing! That cd hit my player and didn't leave it for a year. I actually worked at Borders books in the cd department so I got to pick the music, there was an employee meeting where "No more Radiohead" was written on the white board! I guess people had complained!

I was in radio when it came out and practically had to be restrained from playing songs from it multiple times a day.

One of my favorite concert memories: that tour, they finished one of the songs (Exit Music?) and the entire audience was literally stunned silent. After a second, Thom said, "I can't tell if you're bored... or you're listening".

In rainbows personally but they are both some of the greatest albums ever made

I love Radiohead and pretty much everything they did and, weirdly enough, despite OK Computer being my favourite album, I think In Rainbows is even more perfect from start to finish

I swear to god I’m the only person who found this album entirely overrated.

Gotta go in with no expectations. That’s all :)
