A POLL IN A CAGE ON ANTIBIOTICS - ILM Artist Poll #56 - RADIOHEAD - RESULTS THREAD

has The Bends ever been remastered? the CD i have is shockingly quiet and muffled.

The Bends sounds brilliant on CD as far as I'm concerned.

Don't think I voted for this but really, really wish I had in hindsight.

come now too low

I thought this would be a #1 contender

the Kid A version is obv better but i do have a soft spot for /Amnesiac and my vote was kinda for both

Kid A version >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amnesiac version

Same here. I think of Amnesiac's as the hungover Sunday morning version.
xpost

OK Computer is really going to run away with this poll in the top 10

Just one #10 vote for Morning Bell/Amnesiac.

I really like Amnesiac for the most part but the amount of ill-will "Morning Bell Amnesiac" generates in me colors my reaction to every song on the album after it with searing, intense dislike, to the point where I had to put the album on shuffle in order to appreciate "Life In A Glass House"

Let Down has surely got to be in the Top 50 Radiohead songs?

let down
exit music
airbag
par and
lucky

these will all place i should imagine. what is left off of bends, fake plastic trees?

yep

"Bones" won't make it :'(

14. Exit Music (For a Film) [23 votes | 2 #1 votes | 529 points]

drum fill -> synth = classic, obviously

And I guess Bulletproof won't make it ether?

I like that photo. Thom as Slender Man.

did not make my original 20 but i slipped it on the end in recognition of it being a big deal for me and my favourite radiohead song between the ages of 20 and 23

My favourite section is the 'breathe, keep breathing' part, gorgeous.

such a great way to hear it for the first time; the end credits of Romeo And Juliet. seemed like a long time until OKC came out after.

There was almost a year between R+J and the release of OKC. Ah, the mid-'90s!

How did Radiohead get so attached to that movie as to have two songs connected with it?

I'm reading Wikipedia right now and this is mind-blowing: "In August 1996, Radiohead toured as the opening act for Alanis Morissette"

Not keen on FPT, just sounds boringly straightforward to me. Was unsurprised when David Cameron named it his favourite Radiohead song.

XP ha yeah me too.

re R+J ..
Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann commissioned Radiohead to write a song for his upcoming film Romeo + Juliet. Luhrmann gave the band footage of the final 30 minutes of the film, and Yorke said "When we saw the scene in which Claire Danes holds the Colt 45 against her head, we started working on the song immediately." Soon afterwards, the band wrote and recorded "Exit Music (For a Film)"; the track plays over the film's end credits but was not included on the soundtrack at the band's request.

it was my favorite off The Bends in high school

CLIMBING UP THE WALLS IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GREAT

had it #5 but wish I'd placed it higher now

jmm dont forget Clueless!

11. Karma Police [24 votes | 557 points]

a good spot for it. so no lotus flower, huh?

karma police was my #1 music video

a good spot for it. so no lotus flower, huh?

I don't suppose it's giving too much away at this point to say there's no King of Limbs songs in the top 50.

yeah, I'd guessed by now. it is still surprising, though! I expected lotus flower to be in the back 25 at least.

No. 65, highest placed KoL song.

That's really too bad. All of who don't like the album should try just skipping the songs that pull you of it and focusing on the better ones (like seperator, which is a top 10 radiohead song imo)

My KOL is still in the shrinkwrap.

separator is another good one, yes

Actually, my mistake, Separator was no. 54.

i really did not expect karma police to place, certainly not this high

I thought it would be perfect ilm challops for it not to place

No #1 place votes though. It's the highest placed song without any #1 votes.

I think I know the top 10 tracks at least. But it hinges on worrywort being top 10, which seems like wishful thinking?

"Karma Police" is pretty much the only song besides "Creep" that i still occasionally hear on US rock radio, and has become really tiresome to me (especially since i love most of The Bends singles that used to get airplay).

my top 3 (Just/Morning Bell/Subterranean) have just been dispensed with but i'm happy how high they all got.
