OK Computer

Man, I completely forgot how great of an album this is. Not so much depressing as it is just odd and apathetic... almost bitter at times. 'Electioneering' would have to be my highlight, although how can anyone ignore 'Karma Police?' It's one of my all-time favourites.

Funny how these guys seem most appealing to me when I'm quite enjoying my life.

It is without a doubt my number one favourite album of all time. I don't listen to it nearly as much as I did when I was in the thick of it, but I revisit it every now and then and find it to be quite an intense experience.

One of the greatest music videos I have ever seen.

This album has totally rekindled my love for Radiohead's music. I'm going to throw on The Bends later today, I think.

I <3 radiohead

one of the few solid rock bands of our generation that's still keepin it real

Believe it or not, I've never listened to Hail to the Theif... so I wouldn't know if they are 'keeping it real' or not. It sounds so whitebread when I say that.

I liked it. not as much as The Bends or OK Computer, but it's still a great piece of work.
Radiohead is our generation's Pink Floyd.

No Surprises was always a fav. I love in Paranoid Android during the main riff while you listen closely and you can hear the Speak&Spell voice very very faintly.

Karma Police too, but the whole album is pretty glorious. Never gonna play it out at a show but it's one of those records I bought solely for personal listening value.

OK Computer was stepping stone album for Radiohead's sound.

Pablo Honey and The Bends were heavily guitar driven albums while OK Computer took them in a whole new direction that ended up shaping a lot of the music the proceeded it.

Just popped it on. Thanks.

Radiohead's _OK Computer_ = album of its decade?

TV on the Radio's _Return to Cookie Mountain_ = ditto?

Discuss.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST

I checked out TV On the Radio... I'm drawn to it, but it's no OK Computer, sir. To be honest, can you really honestly name an album that's come out in the last 7 years that can define this decade? It's been so dull man. Nothing musically revolutionary about the double-oh's that comes to immediate mind.

I thought I just did.

tiedye · #16 (**permalink**) Mar 31, 07

To be honest, there's too much thought in that music to define this current decade.

Grapes · #17 (**permalink**) Mar 31, 07

Maybe it just defines MY decade.

Or the past 7 years from my perspective.

tiedye · #18 (**permalink**) Mar 31, 07

Fair enough, you may have YOUR decade. Can I have the 90s back then?

decypher · #19 (**permalink**) Mar 31, 07

^Jock Jams and crossover pop bands like LOVE inc and Bran Van 3000. lol, no thanks.
