I'm just prepared to accept that there's good music in everything, except possibly, march band music, but there's basically good forms of everything. Like country and western I once decided was all terrible, and then I found these early songs from the 40s and 50s that are basically all about cocaine and women and people dying and very grim and hard core, and some of the music is great. So, I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Int - So what's it like when people say OK Computer is a progressive rock album?

JG - I don't really care what people say, very much. Progressive rock, I don't think so. If you mean it's a progression, I think The Pixies are a progression, in this kind of music, but that doesn't really mean that they sound like Genesis.

Int - It's got a lot of the same sounds and instruments that progressive rock can...

JG - [interrupting] Yeah, we stole instruments and textures, but we just don't sing about unicorns and wander off for twenty minutes on each song. If we can find new colours in records, we'll take them.
