According to an announcement made this morning by the National Recording Registry, Radiohead's 1997 smash OK Computer will be preserved in the Library of Congress alongside the Doors' eponymous 1967 debut, Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Joan Baez' Joan Baez, Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate from 1949, and more.

According to the press release:

Under the terms of the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000, the Librarian, with advice from the Library’s National Recording Preservation Board (NRPB), is tasked with annually selecting 25 recordings that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and are at least 10 years old. The selections for the 2014 registry bring the total number of recordings on the registry to 425, a small part of the Library’s vast recorded-sound collection of nearly 3 million items. 

Also making the annual list were Sly and the Family Stone's Stand! (from 1969), 20 songs compiled in 1995's Sesame Street: All-Time Platinum Favorites, and other spoken-word recordings including Steve Martin's second comedy album A Wild and Crazy Guy.»
