The 1990s were a great decade for music, characterized by an alternative music that lent itself to the indie rock revolution of this past decade. Near the end of the decade, one band produced an integral record that not only stands the test of time, but acted as a catalyst for much of the music that followed.
If we go back to the last decade, it looks like Radiohead's OK Computer, the band's third album, had as much of an impact as just about anything during the era.
Many critics call this one of the greatest albums of all time. Radiohead's sound was revolutionary at the time, and everything about the album was original and inventive. It was originally crafted, the music had its own unique sound, and the music videos were superb.
As we look back over a decade now, we realize how important Radiohead's OK Computer was an album. Both musically and conceptually, this album was way ahead of its time in every sense.
While just about every track on the album is phenomenal, there are definitely some standouts that are remembered more so than others. Paranoid Android, the band's first release, was an epic song, as were Fade Out and No Surprises.
The music is absolutely beautiful and while the band's sound has evolved over the years, if another band were to come out with an original album today that sounded like this (assuming the first one never came out), it would sound completely relevant and modern at that.
In a world where the music we listen to is constantly evolving and developing, an album like OK Computer is a rarity.
If you haven't listened to it in a while, throw the CD back into your player and give it a listen. Not only will it bring back some memories, but you'll realize how truly great this album was, and always will be. - 30549
