OK Computer is a Progressive rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of The Beach Boys, Miles Davis, Elvis Costello, R.E.M. and PJ Harvey. Those roots explain a lot about how OK Computer arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Kid A, Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Altogether the chart holds 11 connections around OK Computer, reaching back through The Beach Boys. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

OK Computer is the third studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 May 1997. With their producer, Nigel Godrich, Radiohead recorded most of OK Computer in their rehearsal space in Oxfordshire and the historic mansion of St Catherine's Court in Bath in 1996 and early 1997. They distanced themselves from the guitar-centred, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, The Bends. OK Computer's abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and eclectic influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work.
