Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. RadioheadOK Computer

To me, Radiohead carried on the tradition of bands like Yes. They are always adventurous and challenging and yet they have remained ahead of the game, really. I love the way they blend old and new…including contemporary beats and instrumentation. But again, and like Yes and Genesis, they still have great songs at the heart of it. Especially on OK Computer, which completely fired me up and gave me hope for the future. Great music in every sense of the word.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Andy Burnham, , Meemo Comma, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Tom Chaplin, Alan Wilder
