OK Computer

OK Computer earned a perfect Metacritic score of 100, a feat unmatched by any other album on this list, and won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album. Radiohead's 1997 masterpiece ranks at #162 on Rolling Stone's Greatest Albums list, blending rock with electronic textures and dystopian themes. Selling over 4 million copies globally by 2000, it's 30% more critically acclaimed than the average top-10 record of the decade, as measured by aggregate reviews. Its layered production and haunting songwriting, epitomized by "Paranoid Android," built a lasting legacy that challenges Nevermind's raw immediacy with cerebral innovation.
