OK Computer — 1997
Radiohead
A prescient album about alienation in a wired, accelerating world, expanding rock with electronics, odd time signatures and dread. 'Paranoid Android' and 'No Surprises' anchor a record that still sounds like the future arriving. Frequently named among the greatest ever made. Released in 1997 — a solid middle chapter.
On vinyl: '90s pressings are hit-and-miss on quality; a modern reissue is often the safer choice.
