Radiohead recorded their third album in the mansion of actress Jane Seymour
while she was filming Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. OK is where the band
began pulling at its sound like taffy, seeing what happened, not worrying
if it was still "rock." What results is a slow, haunting album
with unforgettable tracks such as "Karma Police." Said guitarist
Jonny Greenwood, "I got very excited at the prospect of doing string
parts that didn't sound like 'Eleanor Rigby,' which is what all string
parts have sounded like for the past thirty years. . . . We used violins
to make frightening white-noise stuff, like the last chord of 'Climbing
Up the Walls.' " (Rolling Stone)
Total album sales: 1.9 million
Peak chart position: 21
