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.
Depending on who you ask, you might find someone who says that this is the best piece of musical work they've ever listened to. This album was extremely innovative for the time, and it took the music world by storm.
While people recognized the fact that OK Computer was a huge achievement when it was released, we realize it even more so today after a decade has gone by.
Some of the musical highlights include songs like No Surprises, Fade Out, and Karma Police, though every song on the album is a musical accomplishment. His haunting falsetto and great emotion are present on just about every song on the record.
Thom Yorke crafted a set of beautiful songs on OK Computer and this album was the first of many that followed a continued evolution in terms of the band's music. Amazingly, this album still sounds fresher than much of the new music that comes out today.
How many other full lengths can you really say that about? Not many whatsoever, and that's what makes Radiohead a treasure in the world of music.
You've most likely listened to OK Computer at some point in the past, but perhaps it's been a while since you've most recently heard it. If this is the case, I would definitely suggest revisiting this landmark achievement. - 30549
