Hello

I enjoyed watching it (Although I didn't for all four hours). I have no idea how 'OK Computer' is the best album ever though ..

They're rigged anyway, you can't nominate any album you like. You have to pick a top 3 from a list, usually about 125, pre-selected by 'industry experts'.

The thing with their polls and most of the top 100 of anything is, they provide the list you from which you choose the ones you like the best, which in reality is Bollox !!

Thats your opinion though, the poll was decided on a majority vote, obviously more people think OK Computer is better than the Bends. I personally think there are a couple of albums better than OK Computer but Im in a minority compared to others

Your welcome. Just pointing out that pretty much everyone of us here will probably have a differing 'better album'

Just goes to prove Winston Churchill correct when he said a 5 minute chat with the average voter is the strongest argument against democracy.

Why is OK Computer the best album of all time? Could someone explain it's influence on music, culture, politics, emotions etc?

And Alanis Morissette ahead of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and John Lennon?

Lamest of the lame excuse for a fecking TV prog IMHO!

Me and the girlfriend were sitting there saying what can be number 1, if it's not Joshua Tree, Sgt Pepper, Revolver, Dark Side of the Moon, Thriller etc.

Then they announce it's that over-rated self indulgent dirge Radiohead.

Just glad I didn't waste my whole evening and only watched the last half hour!

I think OK computer is clearly the best album of the last ten years. It was original haunting and pretty much great in every way from the songs to the performance to the production. The best album ever is clearly Electric Lady Land but the trouble is even people who know nothing about anything are allowed to vote in these things. I mean how could any one vote revolver as being better than than the white album ?

Because everyone is voting on *their* favourite and we all have different tastes, simple!

Your clearly wrong. That would be Absolution by Muse.

Presumably you've both heard every album made in the last 10 years to be able to state this.

They are indeed, however it's incredibly trendy to like them, it makes you look angst ridden and cool!

As the old saying goes, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The same goes for Music, it's in the ear of the beholder, some peoples ears are a little more fooked up than others !!

Firstly cannot beleive Radiohead was No 1!

Also I was expecting top ten for a Coldplay album.

Was also expecting to see higher places for Eminem.

Finally I would of thought 'The Prodigy Experience' would be a better choice in the top hundred than 'Fat of the Land'!!!

I think Muse are fantastic but absolution does not have the complexity and the 'i could never do that in a million years ' feel of OK computer
