OK Computer

This should be, without exception, in everyone's collection.  From the moment the opening burst of Airbag kicks in to the final chords of The Tourist, this is sheer genius.  Sublime highlights include Paranoid Android, a six-minute part-angry, part-angelic sprawl ("When I am king/You will be first against the wall"); Let Down ("Don't get sentimental/It only ends up drivel"); Karma Police, which has an ending that makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand to attention; and No Surprises, a gentle beauty about suicide ("I'll take the quiet life/A handshake/Of carbon monoxide").  All in all, an absolute classic.  10/10
