OK Computer is the third studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released in 1997. Album received huge critical acclaim and is considered being one of the greatest rock albums ever, also being in top 10 (or even No. 1) on many lists of the greatest albums of all time. This album got me into Radiohead and probably shares top spot with Kid A in their discography for me with In Rainbows being in third place
I think it's still an amazing album, a lot of really great tracks with no real dud for me. As for the more popular ones, I was never too fond of Karma Police, and while Paranoid Android is amazing track, it is actually in the middle in my ranking.
My favourites are: Subterranean Homesick Alien - the production and vibe is so gorgeous No Surprises - the melody is so simple yet really beautiful with a little bit disturbing lyrics Let Down - this track is also beautiful, the last chorus always gets me and I love those small electronic beats that happen two times in the song Climbing Up The Walls - a rather depressing track( for me), love the culmination and the final scream

This is their greatest album IMO. I love the overall theme of exploring how we both need technology and how it ruins us. Some of the songs feel truly beautiful despite being dark lyrically, and Thom Yorke does some amazing things vocally. U2 had mixed rock with electronica on Pop, but this took that concept to another level (and both acts beat Madonna to the punch in some ways).
My favorites: 1. Let Down 2. Subterranean Homesick Alien 3. Airbag 4. Karma Police 5. Lucky
I like every song, really, except of course "Fitter Happier" ha.
