Is OK Computer by Radiohead truly one of the GOAT albums?

I think it's great, don't get me wrong, but I also think the hype is a bit too much. It doesn't have the "it" factor or influence of the true great albums.

It is the greatest album of the 90s and a top 10 album of all time. Most certainly a legendary piece of art.

I've never really understood the hype of Radiohead. I've listened to a few of their albums. They're a good band. Definitely talented, but not some life changing experience like most of their hardcore fans would suggest. Thom Yorke's voice just becomes annoying after a few songs.

You have to think about when it was made and the sounds and textures they were using at the time. Nothing else sounded like that.

The video for Paranoid Android is fantastic and made the song even that much more beautiful.

I don't like it at all. Not a single song on the album that I would like to hear again.

It is a fine album, but it isn't In the same rarified air as DSOTM for example. So not an all time GOAT

It's definitely a top ten album from the 90s, but Kid A was more defining.

It was well ahead of its time in terms of adding electronic elements into traditional rock music.

It's not even a question to me that it should be considered one of the GOAT records.

It's a great album, but too many important albums came out in the 90s to say it's the greatest. It's Radiohead's 1st or 2nd best album, for sure.

Yes, I think it is the GOAT, but I'm cool with people that don't agree with that. Everyone has different tastes.

It's my Dark Side of the Moon for the 90's. It felt like Alan Parsons helped produce it

I'm far from a Radiohead fanboy, but OK Computer, on vinyl, from Airbag > Karma Police is top, fricking, notch.
