And I Sit to Read

When I think about my one hundred twenty-fourth pick, I smile from ear to ear.  Here it is, one of many albums that takes me to a happy place:

Artist - Radiohead
Album - OK Computer
Released - 1997
Label - Parlophone/Capitol
Genre - Alternative Rock

Tracks:
Airbag
Paranoid Android
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Exit Music (For A Film)
Let Down
Karma Police
Fitter Happier
Electioneering
Climbing Up The Walls
No Surprises
Lucky
The Tourist

Radiohead are one of those bands that you either you get or you don't.  You either like or don't like, or even you can like one song.  Regardless of that, this album is such a sensational album.  Why did I use sensational you might ask?  Well it's a bit of experimental, a little bit of rock and a little bit mellow.  So many combinations in one with the sensitive sound of Thom Yorke's voice.  I really miss music from the 90's, a lot. I know we must grow and evolve our musical horizons, but it doesn't get better than this album.  So many memories are tied into this album.  Some good ones, some not so good ones.  I think one song on this album that triggers those memories is Karma Police.  Maybe some people can relate, but to me, that song really gets me all emotional.  Not emotional in a sense that I get sad, just thinking about everything that ties into that song, those lyrics.  Another song I feel like that about is Lucky, but I feel that song is a lot deeper than anyone can know.  But it could just be me.

Enjoy!
