50 years of Tunes - 1997 - Radiohead "OK Computer"

They missed out on the 95 slot but it was always going to be Radiohead for this one. 1997 was another Year Zero for me and new music (1983 & 1991 being previous epiphanous years) and OK Computer was the main reason for this.

Britpop was finally over (if it ever really started) and I began to discover some really interesting bands. OK Computer was the clear leader but Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, When I was Born For The Seventh Time, F#A#oo & Dig Me Out where close behind. What a flippin' year!
