OK Computer, Radiohead’s 1997 album, defied their prior guitar-centric style, exploring abstract lyrics, intricate soundscapes, and diverse influences. Its prophetic portrayal of societal alienation and political unease resonates today.

Despite EMI’s reservations, the album soared to number one on UK charts and became a multi-platinum hit globally. Singles like “Paranoid Android,” “Karma Police,” “Lucky,” and “No Surprises” fueled its international success, selling over 7.8 million copies.

Critically acclaimed, it’s hailed as one of the greatest albums, winning Grammy Awards and influencing a shift in British rock. Included in the US Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry, its 20th-anniversary release, OKNOTOK 1997 2017, and the subsequent MiniDiscs [Hacked] release added to its enduring legacy.
