On 21 May 1997, Radiohead released their third studio album, 'OK Computer'.
OK Computer received acclaim from critics and has been cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. The album initiated a stylistic shift in British rock away from Britpop toward melancholic, atmospheric alternative rock that became more prevalent in the next decade. In 2014, it was added by the US Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
