good catch, Paul... Tortoise IS older than Sigur Ros. But Rachel's started in 1991, and the first Tortoise record ("Tortoise") didn't come out till 94. I suppose it's possible they were doing stuff as far back as 90, but I guess I can't help thinking of them as a mid/late 90s band.
John states that without bands like Rachel's or Sigur Ros you probably wouldn't have a band like Tortoise, but Tortoise has been around since 1990, which I believe is longer than either of the other two bands.
