No Surprises
Magazine editors love annotated lists -- Cosmo's perpetual 101 ways to drive your man wild, AFI's 100 top movie quotes, or Spin's Top 100 albums of the last 20 years -- because they're cheap, easy and sure to cause controversy. Usually. While some bloggers are quibbling over the albums' rankings, most hipsters have seen the list, topped by Radiohead's 1997 masterwork "OK Computer," and said, "well, sure."
Infinitely listenable, OK Computer gave us such hits as "Paranoid Android," "Let Down" and "Karma Police," and is the subject of this fascinating analysis, one of many out there on the Web. Even though they've gotten Spin's top honor, however, the Oxford boys have remained predictably mum.
