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.

a good spot for it. so no lotus flower, huh?
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:39 (eleven years ago)
karma police was my #1 music video
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:40 (eleven years ago)
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.
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:45 (eleven years ago)
yeah, I'd guessed by now. it is still surprising, though! I expected lotus flower to be in the back 25 at least.
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:47 (eleven years ago)
No. 65, highest placed KoL song.
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:48 (eleven years ago)
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)
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:48 (eleven years ago)
My KOL is still in the shrinkwrap.
― You and Dad's Army? (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:49 (eleven years ago)
separator is another good one, yes
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:50 (eleven years ago)
Actually, my mistake, Separator was no. 54.
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:50 (eleven years ago)
i really did not expect karma police to place, certainly not this high
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:51 (eleven years ago)
I thought it would be perfect ilm challops for it not to place
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:51 (eleven years ago)
No #1 place votes though. It's the highest placed song without any #1 votes.
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:53 (eleven years ago)
I think I know the top 10 tracks at least. But it hinges on worrywort being top 10, which seems like wishful thinking?
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 22:56 (eleven years ago)
"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.
― some dude, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:02 (eleven years ago)
I can think of nine tracks that I'd be surprised not to see. The tenth will either be Motion Picture Soundtrack or True Love Waits.
― jmm, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:07 (eleven years ago)
yeah, the tenth is the hard one. I think it's a battle between those two, worrywort, and a non-There,There hail to the thief track.
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:09 (eleven years ago)
lurgee
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:10 (eleven years ago)
i think i know what the top ten is and that "Motion Picture Soundtrack," "True Love Waits," "Worrywort" and "Electioneering" are all going to be left out.
― some dude, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:13 (eleven years ago)
so it's a surprise Hail to the Thief track?
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:14 (eleven years ago)
oh wait, I forgot that people really like Faust Arp. I have no idea anymore.
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:16 (eleven years ago)
i dunno what 9 ones you've thought of but i really think you're forgetting a big one
― some dude, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:16 (eleven years ago)
I fully expect "There There" to be top 10
― stacked as fuck & imposing (DJP), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:18 (eleven years ago)
oh, definitely. I'm talking about another sleeper Hail to the Thief track
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:18 (eleven years ago)
Let's hear it for the stealth "We Suck Young Blood" posse
― stacked as fuck & imposing (DJP), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:19 (eleven years ago)
I'd bet I'm missing an amnesiac track that people love now
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:20 (eleven years ago)
I dunno, I have trouble getting into the minds of HTTT fans. Is Go to Sleep a contender?
― jmm, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:20 (eleven years ago)
I voted for backdrifts, but I also fully expected it to not place
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:21 (eleven years ago)
I'm wondering about 'Dollars & Cents' and 'Like Spinning Plates' now
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:22 (eleven years ago)
but I also think that maybe some dude expects 'Lucky' to place?
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:23 (eleven years ago)
oh i absolutely think "Lucky" will place
― some dude, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:24 (eleven years ago)
hahaha and why are there 45 In Rainbows polls?!
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:24 (eleven years ago)
Really happy to see '15 Step', 'Optimistic', 'Talk Show Host', 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi', 'Subterranean Homesick Alien', 'Climbing Up The Walls', 'Morning Bell', 'Exit Music (For A Film)' and 'How To Disappear Completely' place.
Very surprised to see 'Planet Telex' place quite highly, although no complaints.
'Street Spirit (Fade Out)', 'No Surprises' and 'Karma Police' are three tracks that I used to love but kinda got spoiled with overplay while kicked-to-death songs such as 'Creep' and 'High and Dry' still do it for me.
― Welcome To (Turrican), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:24 (eleven years ago)
haha oh you missed that delightful phase in ILM history (xpost)
― some dude, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:25 (eleven years ago)
Lucky better place, it's my #1
― The Velvet Fog called me a motherfucker (Sandy), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:31 (eleven years ago)
well there you go. Lucky is a great track, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Past ILM polls don't really give an accurate temperature of current ILM wrt radiohead tracks.
― Bitterer than Bitter (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 23:33 (eleven years ago)

I've had a look at songs have placed, and came up with a list of 11... 10 of which I think will make the Top 10, as for which one won't, I've no idea!

out of that list i'd guess that motion picture soundtrack won't make it
