I like how the slow songs won this poll. They are the only reason I like OK Computer.

LET DOWN? That's one of their worst songs. I like the Radiodread version a lot though. Best? Karma Police.

i know let down seems like a boring song but to me it has a beautiful ambivalence, like it's in between happy and sad emotions....

maybe im biased by my own feelings and memories of that song...been listening to okc since 4th grade

actually i think thats why let down won....its the song that has the most room for the listener to put his own emotions into the song, if that makes sense

nine years pass...

the Let Down demo on the new white cassette is incredible... i hope more of thom's 4-track demos come out, double tracked guitars + vox, more intense singing

I read somewhere recently that the slightly out of time guitar on Let Down was a happy accident. I still find it extraordinary, the way it blurs and melts without losing an epic feel

The opened with Let Down when I saw them in Manchester the other week, surprisingly.
