Radiohead have come up trumps in a readers' poll to find the best album released in past 25 years since Q magazine was launched.

Their album 'OK Computer' topped the list -- but the band also saw 'The Bends' and 'Kid A' feature in the Top 30, reports The Sun.

At second place comes Nirvana's 'Nervermind' whilst '(What's The Story?) Morning Glory' by Oasis ends up in third place. Also in the Top 10 are Arctic Monkeys with their debut 'Whatever People Say I Am,' 'The Joshua Tree' by U2 and Muse's 'Black Holes and Revelations.'

Elsewhere in the Top 30, Blur loses out on the Oasis battle by coming a relatively lowly No. 13 with 'Parklife,' whilst Guns N' Roses'' 1987 effort 'Appetite for Destruction' lands at No. 27.

Speaking about the winning album, Q editor-in-chief Paul Rees said, "Our readers see 'OK Computer' as the benchmark against which all other albums continue to be judged." See the full list below, plus read our list of the 30 Best Albums of 2010.
