I don't care what people say about Kid A and it's influences and whether it was supposed to break new ground or whatever... that is all pretty meaningless to me when i evaluate it as an album. Sure there may have been a billion artists out there doing that sound, and they're probably great and wonderful and all that... the fact for me remains that Radiohead took all their influencing elements and melded it into the dark, broody canvas that was Kid A... I probably still should seek out Radiohead's influential groups, as they probably do alot of stuff I'd love, but for me, regardless of who did what or this or that first... the synthesis that is Kid A just works, plain old works as an album, a piece, a consistent concept... that's why I love it so much.
