Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet on this album with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, glockenspiel, piano, organ, electric piano, synths and vocals.

A string ensemble did strings on a couple of songs.

The band had been progressing well on the two previous albums until they came up with this album. An album many would say is one of the best albums of that decade. It is indeed one of the symbols of that decade.

The music is art-rock with some indie and quirky pop influences. 

The music is really quirky throughout. Not at least helped by Thom Yorke's quirky, great vocals.

The music is at times very introvert, pastoral. This is what Radiohead is inbetween delivering some great anthems and stunning songs. Something they have done here.... three big anthems, no less

The result is a great album which I guess you already have in your record collection. And rightly so.
