In a year of musical diversity and standing amidst the boy bands and slim shadys, Radiohead proved to keep the masses in awe. As one of the last surviving rock bands, they continue to manifest themselves with the computer generated sound of Kid A. Tracks like "Optimistic," "The National Anthem," and "Idioteque" are among the albums finest, and the years best. Kid A upholds rock at its most ambiguous state.
