Listen to Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, amazing album, and it has Radiohead written all over it.
IMO, Flaming Lips' best album was released in 93, long before Radiohead's influence could be felt.

And going year by the year the way you did, for me it would go like this...

1950s = US
1960s = UK
1970s = US
1980s = Tie
1990s = UK
2000s = US

Urban, like I said, Liars' new album is FAR more experimental than anything they've done so far. I still like the first two, though.

Hobojesus, all you've really said this whole time is that mainstream British music is better (which it is), which is silly since popularity doesn't decide how good a band is.
