I honestly think Once in a Lifetime is one of the best pop singles ever made: the music sounds simple but seems to offer new layers on every listen, the lyrics are accessible without seeming to dumb down their ideas (and there's social relevance if you want it) and it's brilliantly structured.
The music always incorporates a lot of diverse influences, they were never afraid of changing their style or taking risks and their lyrics were distinctive, eccentric and often very funny. They drop off a bit after 'Remain In Light' but that's four very, very good albums IMO. Brilliant stuff!
