The classic rockers have their great albums. Dark Side Of The Moon, Revolver, Sticky Fingers, Who's Next, Pet Sounds, Abbey Road...etc We all know the albums and pretty much every album is a permanent fixture in those collections. When Radiohead released OK Computer I remenber hearing how it was the top pick for so many album review sites and music magazines and alternative/indie/mainstream radio stations. I thought finally, an album that can match up to the classics. This album was amazing. A new approach, a new sound, creative, emotional and very influential. I heard nothing but praise for this album, except from the old "lost in the hair metal 80's" types. Now the criticism is coming out of the woodwork. I remember having a discussion with someone on a classic rock forum and he mentioned that there are no albums being released where the consesnsus loves it. I thought this was the album that was finally loved by most. Reading these posts it looks like I'm wrong.
