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

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.

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.

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.

lurgee

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.

so it's a surprise Hail to the Thief track?

oh wait, I forgot that people really like Faust Arp. I have no idea anymore.

i dunno what 9 ones you've thought of but i really think you're forgetting a big one

I fully expect "There There" to be top 10

oh, definitely. I'm talking about another sleeper Hail to the Thief track

Let's hear it for the stealth "We Suck Young Blood" posse

I'd bet I'm missing an amnesiac track that people love now

I dunno, I have trouble getting into the minds of HTTT fans. Is Go to Sleep a contender?

I voted for backdrifts, but I also fully expected it to not place

I'm wondering about 'Dollars & Cents' and 'Like Spinning Plates' now

but I also think that maybe some dude expects 'Lucky' to place?

oh i absolutely think "Lucky" will place

hahaha and why are there 45 In Rainbows polls?!

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.

haha oh you missed that delightful phase in ILM history (xpost)

Lucky better place, it's my #1

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.

Sandy are you also fond of

faust arp for number one. you heard it here first.

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!

Airbag
Paranoid Android
Lucky
Let Down
Everything In Its Right Place
The National Anthem
Idioteque
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Pyramid Song
You and Whose Army?
There There

*songs that have placed

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

I'm fairly confident 'Bones', '(Nice Dream)', 'Electioneering', 'Like Spinning Plates' or 'Go To Sleep' won't make it. Kinda unsure about 'Reckoner', but thinking it probably won't make it either.

I think motion picture soundtrack is out and 'Reckoner' is in over 'You and Whose Army?'

I'm betting "Reckoner" over "Soundtrack" and "Army" too, was basically my prediction for the 10

yep. I would love to be surprised, though.

Pretty sure none of my #3, #4, or #5 are going to make it:

#3 True Love Waits (with the keyboard part)

#4 Kinetic

#5 Worrywort

"Kinetic" and "Worrywort" suggest Radiohead started being not that great at culling their albums and sequencing them starting with album #4. That 'Amnesiac,' essentially an album of leftovers and alternate cuts, was issued that these two didn't make the cut for either album. "Worrywort" is great because it's proof that Thom could do electronic/repetitive and melodic together.

Worrywort my #6. It could happen!

Just need 20 more voters!

I voted for Reckoner and 2 of Turrican's 11. No Worrywort, sorry SS

jesus how did i never hear worrywart before...THIS SONG IS THE SHIT retroactively voting this #0.1 which is good for 400 points

"Karma Police" is a perfect song. Too low.

i feel like a crazy person itt, karma police is a markass sexy sadie ripping bore to me, yalls favs are based on weird criteria

I think I'm the only one itt who's repped for it.

I doubt it would have made a big difference, but I forgot to vote for "Bangers + Mash."

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

― Karl Malone

I'll be disappointed if that doesn't make the list. That chorus is just so incredibly moving. It was my number two behind Weird Fishes.

I didn't really get "Motion Picture Soundtrack" til I heard the OKC-era acoustic version.

fuck yeah karma police, that's an amazing song

It looks like Kid A may have the highest average point total per track after all of the beans are counted. If this is the case, I'm going to argue that ILM actually voted Kid A best album. I will then collect the highest average flag point total.

Oh for a second I thought you meant the song "Kid A" and I was all like "yessss."
