Yep. Pretty much the worst outcome of any poll/survivor ever

I think Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason not only beating out The Joshua Tree in 1987 to get the finals, but tying with Appetite for Destruction for the win, is the biggest WTF thus far, but this is right there with it.

Shitty result. This poll fails miserably. It's just as bad as Queensryche beating NIN.

Just because everyone has (or is entitled to) an opinion doesn't mean their's is right... which includes the posters just above.  So you disagree with the majority of participants, that's why there's a vote.  Personally, i think Tool winning '96 is a fail with great albums like Beware of Darkness, and Christmas Eve & Other Stories.  But, this is a democratic vote.  Majority rules.  Suck it up sisters.

Just to show website demographics differences, on Rate Your Music OK Computer is #1 of 1997 and ALL TIME and Divine Wings is #54 for 1997 and #2717 all time.

#1 of all time for one Website that's probably a VERY different demographic.  Neat.  Your point?

Mainstream pop rock band vs. underground symphonic power metal band.

Gee I wonder which one is going to be #1 hurrrrrrrrr

Because Divine Wings is an album full of cheesy power metal(nothing wrong with that though) and OK Computer is an amazingly crafted album about sadness and society

This so fucking hard.  Also, I don't like Radiohead.  Seriously just deal with it.  You still have your opinion, so just disagree and move on.
