836. Radiohead - OK Computer

Simply one of the best albums ever made. The first to also take full advantage of the CD format with its crystal clear sounds blending seamlessly from one track to the next playing like a visualess film. The disc opens with 'airbag' a track whose opening chords sound wretched from the Bends album but then quickly expands the palette, and with each song the band continues to do so with confidence and ease. It's genius at the first listen and only becomes increasingly brilliant upon repeated dates. It also contains the most perfect pop song ever written: "Let Down".
