Radiohead-surrealist,stream of consciousness and oblique in the manner of David Byrne and Michael Stipe.I get the impression the music was written first on a lot of tracks.

The Verve and Oasis: pseudo-profound anthemity

ABC and The La's: One brilliant debut with very strong lyrics,but hardly a sustainable and enduring body of work open to infinite interpretation.

Pulp and The Smiths:Amongst the best songwriters of their respective generations, yes.But "Better Than Dylan" is a massive stretch.

The Thrills:
