OK Computer is overrated imo, it has a few filler tracks.
I tend to think that The Bends is the really overrated album in their catalog. I mean, sure, it has "Street Spirit" and "High and Dry", but it also has a LOT of filler compared to many other Radiohead albums.
Of course, I've also always had a soft spot for OK Computer, so I may be biased.

The Bends is even more overrated.
Planet Telex is the ****, but the rest is... good to decent.
63. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (often shortened to Ziggy Stardust) is a 1972 concept album by English musician David Bowie. In 1987, as part of their 20th anniversary, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #6 on "The 100 Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years." In 1998, Q magazine readers placed it at number 24 and Virgin All-time Top 1000 Albums ranked it at number 11. It was named the 35th best album ever made by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2000 Q placed it at number 25 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2004 it was placed at number 81 in Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of the 1970s.
There's one that would have made at least the top 40 of my own list. God, what a great album. So many classics. "Suffragette City", "Ziggy Stardust", "Moonage Daydream", "Starman", "Rock & Roll Suicide"...all awesome.
Fallen is the debut studio album by American rock band Evanescence released on March 4, 2003. It is commercially the band's most successful album to date, selling more than 7 million copies in the United States alone, and more than 17 million worldwide.

Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in October 2000. Despite the lack of an official single or music video as publicity, Kid A became the first Radiohead release to debut at number one in the United States. This success was credited variously to a unique marketing campaign, the early Internet leak of the album, and anticipation after the band's 1997 album, OK Computer. The album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. It also received praise for introducing listeners to diverse forms of underground music. Despite the band's new direction alienating some fans and critics, Kid A received generally positive reviews from notable music publications. It was subsequently listed by multiple publications as one of the best albums of recent years, and in 2009 was ranked No. 1 in lists of the best albums of the 2000s by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The Times. In the updated version of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, it was ranked number 67.
