The Bends is a spectacular album...better than OKC IMO. Listen to Planet Telex, Just, My Iron Lung, and Black Star really loud and you might decide to wipe your ass with OKC...which is good too. But the Bends is a great record. Oasis did put out two great albums but that was all they had.

No more than any other British mid 90s rock album.
In fact The Bends was considered a flop sales wise after the success of Creep , especially in the US.

Interesting choice. I hadn't thought of them, and might actually agree with you, for once.
But otherwise I woulda said My Bloody Valentine in spite of their activity being confined to the early years of the decade. Or Portishead, even... And yeah, with regard to the Radiohead discussion, when I said "only striking achievement" I meant that in an artistic sense. The Bends is a not particularly great alt-rock album, and Creep, while a good track, is in the end just one song. |

And I agree with you about Radiohead. I mean, I enjoy The Bends and OKC but I would never go as far to call them a defining '90s band, especially when they never really achieved their trademark sound until '00.
