Radiohead have topped a poll by the readers of Q Magazine to find the greatest album ever – narrowly beating themselves to the No1 spot.
The band’s 1997 record OK Computer won the vote, with 1995′s The Bends grabbing second position. Their more experimental follow-up Kid A also made the Top 10, The Sun reports.
Almost one third of Q’s 100 Greatest Albums Ever were recorded in the 1990s, making it the best ever decade for music. There was some success for older bands – The Beatles came fourth with Revolver – but landmark records like The Clash’s London Calling and Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds had to make do with the outer reaches of the Top 20.
