Perhaps you should not judge them by only one album. Their next (Kid A,
which is their best IMHO) is of a very different style than OK Computer.

I don't hear King Crimson in Radiohead at all. To me, 'OK Computer,' which
I flat out adored from the first listen (whereas 'Kid A' and "Kid B" are
taking a bit more time to absorb), suggested Pink Floyd as led by a very
paranoid Jeff Lynne.

<P>Most commonly for Stereolab people would recommend Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I also like Dots & Loops. I think It takes alot of listens of steeolab to appricate it more. What a like about it is the mellow sound and the could noises they make, really good electronics, and good sining too. Its fairly standard sounding, but Its good listening.</P>
<P>My favorite Sonic youth is Daydream Nation, but That is the one I,ve listened to the closest. I also would recommend the goodbye 20th century just because there are many cool covers like Steve Reich,s pendelum music. and other experimental composers.</P>
