Spotlight favorite

One of my favorite albums has always been Radiohead's OK Computer. It's such a transitional album, as it bridges the gap between sweeping, album-based releases to the present day scene of downloaded songs that aren't consumed in the framework of a larger piece. Rolling Stone once called it the "last great album," and they might have been right!
