I guess I was reading different magazines in the late nineties, but I remember Stereolab being almost universally revered. They have got some great songs, but they can also take the plodding to extremes. I saw them play in the late 90’s and the club was packed. I remember them jamming on the same chord for about 20 minutes, at one point. When I was leaving, I heard some guy say, “man, people don’t even understand what was going on up there.”
