Overview
Released on May 21, 1997, OK Computer is the third studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich and the band. The album is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, with a vibe score of 92, and is often cited as a cultural touchstone for millennial anxiety and disillusionment. OK Computer was a commercial success, selling over 4 million copies in the United States and 8 million worldwide, with songs like 'Paranoid Android' and 'Karma Police' receiving significant airplay. The album's themes of technological alienation, social disconnection, and political disillusionment resonated with a generation of young people, influencing a wide range of artists, from Arcade Fire to Muse. OK Computer has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA and has won numerous awards, including the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1998. The album's influence can still be felt today, with many considering it a precursor to the alternative rock and indie music movements of the 2000s.
