Wikipedia entry:
Considered by many critics as the greatest album of all time, OK Computer is consistently featured on many critics' ;best albums; lists, including a number 1 placing in a 1998 Q magazine readers' poll. It achieved this honour in 2005 when its readers were again asked to name the ;greatest album of all time;. In 1997 it was placed at number 7 in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM; while in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 94. The album also came as Number One in the Top 100 Albums programme broadcast on Channel 4 on April 17, 2005 in Britain. In June 2005 it was named as Spin Magazine's No. 1 album, [1] and in 2004 it placed number 3 on MuchMusic's best 50 albums since 1980. Rolling Stone's list of the ;500 greatest albums of all time; placed OK Computer at 162.
A fan of Radiohead's hits or not, this album is definately worth a listen to.

I accept it's a good album but the greatest of all time? I don't think so. I read Q (for the reviews) and whenever they do stuff like this I can usually guess what's going to come top because every single "greatest album/songwriter/personality in music" poll is exactly the same as it was 6 years ago.

Hey man, at least you tried it. That's a lot more than most people will give.

As much as I love OK Computer, The Bends is still my favorite album and Just is still my favorite song and it still kills me every time I see the music video and we still don't know what the guy says to get everyone to lie down.

I've listened to quite alot Radiohead songs, but I still haven't found a song that's as good as many people say.

Hmmm. =/

The problem with calling this the 'greatest album of all time' is that you have to have it go up to some of the old classics. It is difficult to say that it is flat out better then 'Dark Side of the Moon' for instance. Even taking out the thematic albums it still would have to be better then anything the Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Led Zepplin released. All these albums are just restricted to the broad rock genre. Good I can agree on; greatest, not so much.
