OK Computer and The Bends are two of the greatest albums ever made

Annoying.
Everybody that's been claiming this bullshit would have better have heard everything else 'ever made'. It's so fucking fanboy-ish to go "OMG! THAT'S LIEK, TEH BEST EVER!11!". Radiohead didn't fall like mana from the sky. They have influences like everybody else, and some of those infulences (like said Floyd, or Genesis, or the very good Sonic Youth, hell, even Eno) have made music that can objectively be considered quite more important than OK Computer, having stood the test of time and all. Even so, they aren't any more 'the best' than anything else. They are imporant in context, and in relation to what genre they belong to. I'm not saying that OK Computer won't stand the test of time, but we'll just have to see that, won't we? Fat claims are for the ignorant. Whether or not you rush to the aid of your favourite band or not will not stand to alter their artistic value in any way, so, speak less, listen more.
