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

isn't it ironic

I still dont like the chorus on Let Down, and I feel like everything I like about the song is deployed way better in SHA. OKC is p much my least favorite Radiohead anyways; there's only 3 maybe 4 songs on there I have any time for anymore

It's beautiful and probably the prototype for muse's 'starlight', no?

I'm just here to see how high "Everything in its Right Place," er, placed.

and then you will be frozen in a euphoric dream of your choosing?

Ha! just tried to submit my #1 and here's the awesome SNL performance

think i was 13 when i saw that snl performance

"this is my favorite band" i thought

OTM

some snl board i found the next day was full of "wtf is this garbage" posts

It took me a little while to warm up to this song, but the SNL performance sold me on it.

(That said, I do prefer the studio arrangement.)

Idioteque was my #1.

haha. I can remember replaying it for my best friend's dad (who actually has an awesome but entirely different taste in music), and he basically reacted that way.

i'm so out of touch with radiohead that when i see 'reckoner' i still think 'PAH PAH PAH'

It would be awesome if 'There, There' took #1

Never seen that SNL clip before, that was fucking great. Still love love love Idioteque.

the I Might Be Wrong cd version recorded at Oxford is pulverising.

Wow, that SNL performance, they're totally outside themselves.

Also, is Thom Yorke a tiny little guy or did he just look like he was 5'1" via camera angles?

xp - Pyramid Song, boom, there's my #1.

that snl clip was great

<3 pyramid song

"'Pyramid Song' is me being totally obsessed by a Charlie Mingus song called Freedom and I was just trying to duplicate that, really. Our first version of 'Pyramid' even had all the claps that you hear on Freedom. Unfortunately, our claps sounded really naff, so I quickly erased them."

"Pyramid Song" is the song who rating on ILM is most out of sync with mine. I think it's sewage, easily the worst Radiohead song. I just get it. It sounds like I feel when I'm gonna barf.

When it came out a friend asked me what I thought of OK Computer. "I like the sparkly one," I said. He knew exactly which one I meant. Let Down is the song that made me love that album.

03. Paranoid Android [37 votes | 4 #1 votes | 965 points]

Wow, thought it was a lock for #1.

Love it.

Both "Idioteque" (that SNL performance was amazing, I remember watching it thinking "last time I felt this way about an SNL musical guest, it was The Sugarcubes") and "Pyramid Song" (stately escalation done to perfection; this band really understands crescrendo) are easily among Radiohead's best work. Both were in my top 10.

I am actually shocked "Paranoid Android" wasn't #2!

Whoa.

I didn't even turn in a ballot.

oh man there is an outside chance that the top 4 of the poll will be the top 4 of my ballot in a slightly different order

Oh, horror, does this mean There There is gonna win? It does, doesn't it??

I really really hope so!

i didn't vote for "there there" but i think it'd be kind of neat if it won!

i cant even work out what the other one is

I'd also be cool with a shocking "We Suck Young Blood" or "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" upset

(other one is "Everything In Its Right Place", no?)

ah yes

hope it's 'there there'

though it'd be a good meta joke if there there didn't show at all now
