cool. thanks for that!

Going to start the tracks now. Hope I don't embarrass myself with the graphics, never done anything like that before. There's no rhyme or reason to the pictures used. Also, credit is due to whoever did the amazing pictures for the Madonna poll, whose style I've shamelessly stolen.

Appreciate the use of classical pieces in songs such as 'Butterflies and Hurricanes', and 'Space Dementia'. Understand that Bellamy is a genius and has many classical influences.

Oh nate I could have helped with the banners! Should have told me! I did a quick one for a past tribute event we had at one of my bars, it would've been easy to adapt to your poll:

Ah man they would've looked amazing! I wish I had subbed it out.

48. Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2) [10 votes | 1 #1 vote | 208 points]

damn, these #1 votes are interesting

oh polyethylene would've totally made my ballot if it hadn't apparently totally slipped my mind by the time I dashed it off

i listened to the airbag ep mowing the lawn every week, true story

'Videotape' is one of those tracks for me that works better in the context of the album than in isolation. I don't mind it, and the effects towards the end sound great on headphones, but there's much better from In Rainbows to come in this poll, I suspect.

'Palo Alto' is fucking great, though. That vocal melody is so Michael Stipe it hurts.

Yeah these images you have, Nate, are really fitting with the band's aesthetic either way! They look really nice.

xxxp: two bars so far, and a club coming up sometime next year.

also started a geocities fan website in 1997 that didn't go anywhere, truly loved underscores and clinical fonts

polyethelene popped into my head out of nowhere about 6 months ago.

part 2 of polyethylene is awesome. I completely overlooked this one.

'Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2)' is pretty decent, and have always enjoyed the way it starts with just Thom and acoustic, before he gives up and the band come in and start rocking. It's definitely a B-side though, in my opinion.

3 of my votes have showed up already

'Fog' on the other hand, is definitely NOT B-side material, and really should have made it onto Amnesiac. The second half of that album could definitely been improved by having more tracks of this calibre on there. Beautiful track.

this is the perfect aesthetic for a radiohead poll

Heh, well did a quick experiment with the template I already had but I think I ended up liking yours better.

1997 is where it all began, we are now in 17 AD

It's definitely a B-side though, in my opinion.

Compared to the other OKC songs, maybe...but it feels too substantial for a b-side.

"Palo Alto," on the other hand, is definitely a b-side, but more of the "Old Brown Shoe"/"The Inner Light" variety (i.e., a b-side you actually come back to).

I voted specifically for the live version of fog on I think the comlag ep, which is just gorgeous as anything

feel there is at least a 60% chance I browsed matt p's site back in the day

Fog is too low! I'd rate it as a top 5 song in a B-sides poll and top 30 overall.

yeah I like 'fog (again)' as well. were votes split between 'fog' and 'fog (again)'?

46. Jigsaw Falling Into Place [10 votes | 1 #1 vote | 220 points]

think I felt guilty for placing 'worrywort' so high that I left 'Fog' and 'Cuttooth' out

Videotape TOO LOW (even though i didn't vote for it).

not so keen of this one

'Jigsaw Falling Into Place' too low, the guitar work on this is just sublime, particularly in the outro.

There was only one vote for Fog (Again).

"JUST AS YOU DANCE DANCE Dance Dance dance dance..." *gorgeous guitar part*

Videotape is too low indeed.

45. House of Cards [10 votes | 224 points]

...and there it is, my least favourite track on In Rainbows. I find it pleasant enough while I'm passively listening to it, but have always found it a bit of a snoozer otherwise. Next!

i like the key parties reference.

very excited for your next summary xp

forgot how good Palo Alto was good, actually better than half of OKC imo.

it's cool they're doing this weekly thing for the pandemic... though it's all (so far) stuff they already put out on their "public library" site. I'd probably be more enthused to check it out if not for that... even though I haven't gotten around to much of it yet! Oh well.

About this poll.... I just recently did my first ilm artist ballot and I may have misunderstood about albums. Are you only supposed to list the ones you really like (or, i guess, "rate")? I'm just surprised at the low number of votes for Pablo Honey. I doubt that few of the voters ever heard Pablo Honey. They just didn't even bother to put it last on their list?

the rules for polls vary a fair bit, the underworld poll is definitely a huge outlier in ballot size. i'd imagine for this one people were only allowed to vote for a maximum of 5 albums.
