The "OK Computer" poll

The transcendentally ridiculous, overblown last 20 seconds or so of Climbing Up The Walls are pretty much my favourite on the record. But I still voted Airbag.

"Climbing Up The Walls" to me sounds more like a somewhat ill-advised attempt to sound like Portishead or Tricky.

Regardless of who Radiohead are "attempting" to sound like, even assuming that they are, "Climbing up the Walls" is nonetheless devastating. So, that's my vote. Just ahead of "Lucky" and "Airbag". Actually, now that I'm listening to it again, I don't get the hate for "Exit Music (For a Film)" either.

Let Down? Really? That's the second worst track! I went for Karma Police, Paranoid Android a close second.

Electioneering. The only one that runs rather than crawls. They're a rock band, not fucking Eno.

obviously "no surprises". was it used in a film/tv show/advert or something? i dont remember over playing it when the album came out, but when i listened through this album the other day for the first time in years it seemed much more familiar to me despite the time since i had last listened to the album than any other tracks.

let down is certainly not one of the worst tracks.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Let Down? Seriously?

Let Down better than Paranoid Android? 'Tae fuck!

How did "Fitter Happier" get more votes than "Climbing Up The Walls"? That is ridiculous.

RECOUNT.

I totally prefer Fitter Happier to Climbing Up The Walls

havent listened to this since i was 17, in bed, with headphones on, but i really find it hard to believe anyone on earth could like fitter happier more than pretty much any other song ever

also karma police + paranoid android should = letdown x2 at least

awesome......let down finally getting the praise it deserves.

NOT

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.

hey I love repeating myself!

"Nude"

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

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.

THEY opened...
