I wouldn't rate Radiohead amongst my Top 1000 artists, but I still went out and bought four of their albums. Go figure. Wink

Subterranea by miles.
But it interests me how OK Computer divides opinion, like marmite. I absolutely hate it, as do several of my friends, but some love it. I've rarely come across anyone who is indifferent to it.

Speaking of Magellan:

Savatage's album The Wake of Magellan is incredibly underrated and one of their best albums overall Smile

(and the reason I'm bringing it up is because it was released in 1997!)

I bet Discipline could only wish that they would have an album as influential, impactful, and inspiring as OK Computer. I also think it quite timeless, and it is an album that I believe will still hailed as a masterpiece and referenced by many in forty years, whereas Discipline I think just will be more of a footnote in much more niche circles. If we survive as a civilization, that is. I don’t think popularity equals quality, but I do believe that that RH achieved both popularity and quality. Of course it can just be about individual taste, but meh is not a word I would associate with the album.

Fish, DT and Marillion also released quite neat albums that year, but again - Unfolded is absolutely flawless in my book

That said, I love 'OK Computer' as well.

I LOVE these two as well but had to go with Pär Lindh's masterpiece.
