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

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.

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

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

01. There There [39 votes | 5 #1 votes | 1097 points]

Thanks to everyone who voted!

BALLER

YOU MADE THE CORRECT CHOICE, ILM

WOOT

signed, one of the ppl who voted "There There" at #1

Not sure my ballot would've been enough to push EIIRP up to #1, but still awesome it ranked that high.

cool ass no. 1

generally try to play three drums at once

Love TT when it's playing; can't remember a fucking thing about it when it finishes.

It's not an awful song, but I always found it pretty underwhelming, like a muted but slightly faster "Optimistic," but without any of that song's mystery, tension, or energy.

There There was my number 3, everything was my number 6. This is a great top ten, even if my number one placed back in te 20s.

Too bad True Love Waits couldn't make the cut

Almost did!

weird but cool winner. the tense recorded version slightly disappointed me having experienced the heavy as hell live version, but i came around

And if it wasn't for the one specific vote for True Love Waits (original live version with the keyboards) it would've.

Love the #1. Great job ILM
