Instrument is awesome, but I don't count it as an album.
And I'm not sure I know what this thread means either.
Just basically that Fugazi had a better self-renovation in the 90's than Radiohead, who's considered the best-of-the-best (not just by mainstream, but by underground standards as well) while Fugazi is unknown to at least 70% of American now-grown alt-rock kids who think OKC was the most dynamic shift of the decade.
Red Medicine threw everyone off, and challenged absolutely everything. It was a complete distortion, and it was fucking awesome.
All Radiohead did with OK was get better at what they started on the Bends... they learned to conceptualize better. Kid A isn't a 90's album, so it's another story. But Red Medicine changed Fugazi front-to-back, and reanimated their music completely.
Nobody else took bigger risks and saw less reward in the 90's than Fugazi.
