    Radiohead : OK Computer
    +1
    Are you getting the 20th anniversary reissue? Can't wait to hear studio versions of Lift and Big Boots.
    Yes, I preorder the deluxe version!
    Can't wait to hear it too.
    I was a Radiohead fan before OK Computer but this album just changed everything.
    IMO, everything is just perfect, the music, the lyrics, the artwork, ...
    I am amazed at how it sounds ageless.
    Also, Friday night's Glastonbury show has the potential to be very OK Computer heavy. I doubt they'll play the entire album in order (they don't seem to be very keen on Electioneering - and Fitter, Happier might not work mid-show) but I'm hoping the scatter the majority of the other ten tracks throughout the set list. There's usually an excellent audio source that surfaces from these shows.


    last time I saw "Electioneering" live was in ATL 1997.

    Thom smashed his guitar. :lol:

    must be a tough song to play live.

    Got my hands on a copy of the three new tracks. They're quite good!
    +1, I love the new tracks.
    Polyethyline (which is it not a new track) is one of my favorite by the way.
    2012 : Amsterdam 2
    2014 : Amsterdam 1&2, Milan, Berlin, Werchter
    2018 : Amsterdam 1&2, Pinkpop, London 1, Berlin, Werchter, London 2
    2020 : ?

    I love your list. I gotta put OK Computer and Kid A ahead of the other two (great) Radiohead albums you've listed, however.

    Hanson.  Middle of nowhere, 1997, featuring the blockbuster single “mmmm bop.”

    The Wall
    Zeppelin II
    Stadium Arcadium
    Tattoo You
    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

    * Impossible to nail one and there are several I could add (including Ten)... but my vote would be for The Wall if forced to.

    Too many depending on what type of music I want to listen to, but these are timeless albums to me that I listen to over and over again.

    The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers & Abbey Road
    Metallica - Master of Puppets
    PJ - Vitalogy
    Michael Jackson - Thriller
    Led Zeppelin II and IV
    Soundgarden - Superunknown
    Tool - Aenema
    Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
    Prince - Purple Rain



    It's a hopeless situation...

    Still OK Computer for me.

    (The first five PJ albums would all likely be in my top 10, however.)

    Lots of good choices.

    But in my opinion, the best album ever is Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue."

    And it should go without saying that the greatest musical work ever is Beethoven's 9th. :-)

    Well to think of up to only 3 is a real challenge, as it seems most people have found out. I would go for, (if not choosing pearl jam):

    Echoes, Slience, Patience and Grace (Think this is the only Foo's so far!!!!!!!!) 

    Dark Side and Automatic (as many have already picked)
