No problem. As a source he's fine. He's obviously heard a lot of music and is a decent source for finding more obscure stuff. He's got RS and P4K beaten in that regard by far.
I don't necessarily think it needs to be challenging to be great, but most of the records I think most highly of are on the more challenging side. However, even though I think OK Computer is a very solid pop record, I think there are much better ones that I even do consider to be great despite their poppy-ness (Pet Sounds, Odessey and Oracle, etc). Just don't think OK Computer is one of them.
