It was on this side of the Atlantic in terms of bands that emerged here.Britain and Ireland didn't spawn much along the lines of Nirvana.

Nevermind and Ten (Pearl Jam) spawned an infinite number of boring guitar rock bands. Are you guys, like, ignoring the 90's? All that bad guitar rock that existed then? You can thank Nevermind and Ten for that.

I know Nevermind isn't their best work, I don't like it at all. I like In Utero.

I'm not comparing how the music sounds against each other, I'm comparing the influence.

Totally agree with that one

I'm not British...

Getting back on topic, I haven't heard In Rainbows yet. Does it sound similar to any of their other albums? Or is it completely different?

No, but The Gloaming is the best track on that album.

it's definitely more laid back then their previous ventures. make sure to get the second disc too! the production is probably the best of any of their albums... it's hard to describe. definitely more listen-able than kid A (although i still believe kid A and amnesiac was the musical high point of radiohead). there's a sleuth of live performances of songs from the album on yotuube, and RH continue to release songs and post them on their website.

"nude" is one of my favourite's from in rainbows,


as well as reckoner and bodysnatchers, and, well **** i love it all.
