8. Radiohead – OK Computer

You may recognize this band by the moniker “the guys that play that catchy song Creep”. Although it is without any doubt their most known song, it doesn’t even come close to their best ones. “OK Computer” album came after Radiohead’s successful second album “The Bands” and it didn’t meet with approval from their recording company that reluctantly released the album. Now the album is seen as being ahead its time. It showed that conceptual albums can be a critical and commercial success, and laid the grounds for experimental rock music. The style and the album’s lyrics are often viewed as an indicator of the atmosphere that will be predominant in the years after.
