Radiohead - Kid A
Radiohead's Kid A, released in 2000, marked a departure from the band's earlier guitar-driven sound, incorporating electronic music, ambient textures, and experimental structures. Kid A was critically acclaimed and won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album, while also receiving a nomination for Album of the Year. The album's impact on popular music was significant, influencing a wide range of artists by demonstrating that mainstream rock bands could successfully integrate experimental and electronic elements without alienating a broad audience. Kid A challenged conventional album promotion strategies by initially foregoing singles and music videos, further contributing to its status as a groundbreaking release in the digital age.
1997's OK Computer turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a britpop format. Consequently, Kid A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era, especially since Nigel Godrich, the man behind the mixing desk for the previous album, was again on hand for this outing.
