        Can’t believe I got a neg for a music opinion lol

          You're absolutely right. Radiohead are pretty good, but "greatest album of all time" is ridiculous and reeks of limited musical exposure. It doesn't come close to some of the Beatles best albums, and I would wager a hell of a lot of music critics agree with me. Then again, music appreciation is absolutely subjective, as is all art. We cannot categorically say that anything is better than anything else. Personally, I find a lot of Radiohead songs depressing, although In Rainbows was pretty good.

            @ForkSnorter: Mate, the Beatles was the worst possible example you could have used for someone with extensive musical exposure.

            Personally I find the Beatles to be lacking in conceptual depth, lyrically stunted and sonically tepid. I can understand why others who are at the early stages of their musical exploration enjoy them though.

            • @Koppeldread: "lacking in conceptual depth" 🤦‍♂️ 😂
              This is the best self-referential phrase I've ever encountered.

              Are you kidding me, or are you talking about early Beatles, when they wrote teeny bopper songs like "I want to hold your hand"?

              Started writing a reply before but couldn't be bothered. No doubt a lot of the songs are basic and dad-songs, but as they developed I think it paved the way for a lot Brit rock/pop. There is a remaster of the white album (hi-res I think) where you can hear sounds you'd never have known are there. So not necessarily sonically dull.

              • @G-rig: Beatles were making songs like this before commercial synthesizers existed, and before Thom Yorke was born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4BuziKGMy4

                • @ForkSnorter: Yeah no doubt, I don't mind their more psychedelic rock type stuff, doesn't mean I need to like the poxy annoying dad songs like yellow submarine. It's still a bit basic compared to modem standards (but everyone's taste is different so that's ok too).

                  • @G-rig: I agree, there a bunch of Beatles songs I can't stand, and most are "granny" songs written by Paul McCartney, with broadway musical-style melodies.

                    The thing that gets me about the Beatles though, is that they were pretty much the first to do nearly everything progressive in popular music, and/or they did it better than anyone else at the time. From 1966 onwards, the diversity within each album is also pretty astonishing and fairly unprecedented for the time.

                    It's also interesting how quickly they evolved, from being a very tight cover band to writing the most popular catchy tunes in the world, and then they almost instantly switched to psychedelic, experimental songs, where they played all kinds of instruments, and then the White Album where they dabbled in about 20 different genres, or even created a few new ones, then disbanded at the peak of their abilities when they were all in their mid-to-late 20s. Then immediately after they disbanded John Lennon is doing biting social commentary like Instant Karma or Working-Class Hero, which is just him and his guitar.

                    I'm definitely not bashing Radiohead, I think they're one of the most powerful bands of the last 30 years. I especially like The Numbers, Pyramid Song, Go To Sleep, Lotus Flower, etc.

                    • @ForkSnorter: Yeah that's all good, haven't listened to much The Beatles honest. Obviously everyone knows of them but there is usually other things I'd prefer to listen to.

            @ForkSnorter: Ok computer is actually
            in one way considered the greatest of all time. It came out on top when all reviews were aggregated.

            • -1

              @Micsmit: Are you talking about Metacritic? The remastered version of Ok Computer got a 100% positive score on Metacritic, but that's based on only 15 reviews. According to Metacritic, thousands of albums have got a perfect 100% rating, because the score is usually based on only a handful of critics' reviews.

              By the way, Metacritic is biased towards more recent music, because older music doesn't tend to get reviewed, and younger generations tend to be more interested in newer music.

    • I've got it on CD great album.

      Darko reckons Kid-A is the best.

    • +1

      Definitely in the discussion.

      Millennials love In Rainbows but OKC and Kid A are slightly better (as someone who has been a fan since the Pablo Honey days).

  • +2
  • Debatable which version sounds the best, I have the original and OKNOTOK, the latter is probably cleaner but is that actually what you want with this album?

    Still, great price.

    Thom Yorke concert tickets still available in Melbourne. Sydney sold out

    • Standing on the lawn.

    • Honestly, I'm not a fan of his solo works. Tried listening to a few, but can't seem to get into it.

      What's your go to?

      • Start at the beginning with the eraser. Then listen to his Collab work with Burial, four Tet and friends. Then give the smile a whirl. It's all good but not comparable to the the bends through to in rainbows zenith.

    Bought it in 1997 thanks.

    • You bought the vinyl in 1997?

      • Well, I bought The Stone Roses on vinyl in 1989, but the truth about OK Computer in 1997 was I bought it on CD.

        • +2

          Me too - I rode my bike to KMart to buy the CD in fact!

    • +1

      I bought a cassette tape in 97( still have it) , CD and vinyl

      Thank you for posting that setlist link. Also was there, top 5 concert for me. Ticket was my birthday present - choice between Radiohead or Ben Harper. Still stand by my choice :)

      I lived OK Computer back in 97/98, bought the CD on release and still have my sealed vinyl copy I bought at the end of 1997 ($39.95, HMV!)

      • +1

        Yes, in my top 5 too.

        Bjork at the Hordern was pretty good too March1996. (Post tour; but performed plenty from Debut)

        • I saw Bjork twice I think once was in 96 as well.

          MJ front row was a once in a lifetime concert too.

  • on my wish list but gonna wait until its lower (if ever!)

    • very 1997 comment

    • +2

      How dare you sir. Yes Oasis are overrated.

    • I feel like they are adequately rated. Goes well with a nice blunt.

    • So what were your picks for '97 Spiceworld?

      • +1

        I unironically have Spice - 25th Anniversary on vinyl. There were 5 versions so I picked the Sporty Spice yellow one, but I don't have Spiceworld because I don't like it as much as their debut.

      You probably had to be a depressed teen at the time to really get the most out of Radiohead.

      Wake, from your sleep.

    • @d86 you forgot to write FACT! at the end 🤣

    OKNOTOK sold out?

    @Rosebank which pressing do you prefer and why?

  • So here's my dilemma, I'd love to support local 'brick and mortar' record stores… but I recently paid ~$110 for this album at my local?!

    Can't possibly justify buying from physical record stores when they are literally more than twice the price as online, can you?

    Meanwhile, you can import the 180 gram 3xLP OKNOTOK version of this for ~AUD$50 from juno.co.uk: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/radiohead-ok-computer-oknoto… (shipping is a bit of a killer for a single record, but becomes pretty economical if you're buying a few albums)

    • +1

      Agreed, obviously don't buy things unless the price is reasonable, no matter where you get it from.
      You may see some other good bargains there anyway (fun looking through second hand stuff if they got that etc).

      Personally I wouldn't pay over ~$30-40, similar to what CDs cost (plus a bit more for the supply and demand). Depends how much you love something though, could be money well spent.

  • +1

    Masterpiece of an album, but I can't listen to it too often it really makes me feel depressed

    • Give Elliot Smith (xo and Figure 8 a listen). Shame he necked himself, bit that way too but a very good sound.
