'this' album is always one of the following:
OK Computer
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Err... what? I listened to all chart **** more or less until a couple years ago, I always enjoyed music but when I was 15 and started smoking I really started looking into new bands, and found punk and alternative (indie? I don't like using that as a genre...). I don't like Radiohead; my mom got really into them when I was 9 or 10 and I heard OK Computer many, many times, and never really enjoyed it. I do enjoy the other two, but certainly didn't feel that either of them changed my perception of music. That happened when I started reading music blogs and magazines like the Big Takeover
