The British band Radiohead's album, OK Computer, was chosen the top album of the past 20 years by Spin magazine, beating Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" and Nirvana's "Nevermin" on the list of the 100 top albums since 1985 currently featured in the July issue.

"OK Computer not only forecast a decade of music but uncannily predicted our global culture of communal distress."

Writer Chuck Klosterman said the album "manages to sound how the future will feel.

"It's a mechanical album that always feels alive, even when its words are spoken by a robot."

The magazine's editorial says: "Between Thom Yorke's orange-alert worldview and the band's meld of epic guitar rock and electronic glitch, ("OK Computer") not only forecast a decade of music but uncannily predicted our global culture of communal distress."
