A grand final statement from the greatest band of all time. Nothing can touch the last medley of Golden Slumbers-Carry That Weight-The End.

Pretty perfect the whole way through. Guitar solo in "Time" is my all-time favorite.

Morrisey's satirical lyrics combined with Marr's stellar guitar work, plus the best rhythm section ever placed onto any record (in my opinion) make this beautiful piece of art the best album of the 1980s.

A bleak, apocalyptic look from Thom Yorke into the future, OK Computer contains some terrifying predictions that have now become our present.

The album that in my opinion best personifies the wave of psychedelia in the late 1960s. Flows beautifully and concludes in majestic fashion with the greatest song by the greatest band of all time, "A Day In The Life".

By far the most complete hip-hop album ever recorded. From the lyricism to the delivery to the perfect production, this is as monumental, influential and cohesive as it gets when it comes to hip-hop albums.

Beautifully produced, featuring some of the best vocals of Thom Yorke's career, this is the album that proved that Radiohead could still rock with the best of them, while still maintaining the lush electronic sound that had dominated their work since Kid A.

Beautiful songwriting, gorgeous arrangments and vocals, and the backstory behind this Britpop classic all contribute to the beauty of this nearly-perfect album. The bright shining light of a band that had so much potential and could have done so much more.

Comes full circle better than any album ever made. The themes explored here are rivaled only by the group's previous album.
