Radiohead win greatest album accolade
Radiohead's album OK Computer has knocked The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band off the top spot as the greatest of all time.
About 400,000 people voted in a poll conducted by Britain's Channel 4 for its programme, 100 Greatest Albums. In a similar poll five years ago, the fab four's Sgt Pepper won the accolade, but this time it slipped to number seven.
Also in the top 10 were U2's The Joshua Tree, Nirvana's Nevermind, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, Definitely Maybe by Oasis, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Like A Prayer by Madonna, and Appetite For Destruction by Guns N'Roses.
With regard to Radiohead's winning 1997 album, REM singer Michael Stipe described it as a "classic, brilliant record", while Johnny Marr from The Smiths said it "is pretty much a landmark record".
Despite losing the top spot, The Beatles are the only band to claim two albums in the top 10: Revolver also made the cut.
