OK Computer is the album that established Radiohead as one of the most inventive and rewarding guitar rock bands of the '90s. It's a thoroughly astonishing demonstration of musical virtuosity and becomes even more impressive with repeated listens, which reveal subtleties like electronica rhythms, eerie keyboards, odd time signatures, and complex syncopations.

Stanley Donwood met Thom Yorke while they were both at studying art at Exeter University. Even at its most adventurous - such as the complex, multi-segmented 'Paranoid Android' - the band is tight, melodic, and muscular, and Thom Yorke's voice effortlessly shifts from a sweet falsetto to vicious snarls. The art of Radiohead sleeve designer Stanley Donwood Donwood has designed the cover art on everything from the band’s 1994 EP ‘My Iron Lung’ up to ‘In Rainbows’ in 2007. Radiohead have stripped away many of the obvious elements of guitar rock, creating music that is subtle and textured yet still has the feeling of rock & roll. The anthemic guitar heroics present on Pablo Honey and even The Bends are nowhere to be heard here. Using the textured soundscapes of The Bends as a launching pad, Radiohead delivered another startlingly accomplished set of modern guitar rock with OK Computer.
