'A Reminder' ftw, if not, then something off HTTT

Pop is dead.

this would be a really good idea to do with a band with more than one good song! PAGING TOM

Lex: no - don't see what purpose it wd serve that the canon polls don't already really!

What is Radiohead's good song?

'lucky'!

i also really love the opening bar of 'everything in its right place', those descending electric piano chords, before yorke starts singing

I don't understand the Roxy Music reference. For me, Radiohead don't sound much like Roxy Music at all. They did at times sound a lot like Pink Floyd though, so I can see that one.

And how about the U2 bracket?

Or the Jeff Buckley bracket?

I think the Roxy Music bracket is their "glam" side? There is a reason they played as Venus In Furs on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack.

championship game: Just, National Anthem
champion: National Anthem

Bracket winners:
A Wolf at the Door v. Idioteque
Exit Music (For A Film) v. There There

ultimate champion: Exit Music (For A Film)

I don't bother with the first knockout rounds, as other than "Creep" all their best stuff was either on "OK Computer" or "The Bends".

So, here's straight to the bracket winners:
Subterranean Homesick Alien Vs. Let Down
Exit Music (For a Film) Vs. Airbag

Final
Let Down Vs. Exit Music For a Film

Exit Music (For a Film) wins

What kind of Radiohead poll doesn't consider "Paranoid Android" one of their 65 best songs?

omfg the wool has been pulled over all of our eyes :(

ok, kick out 'how do you' and rep. with 'paranoid android', then vote for it.

I didn't notice that one missing either. Would have if it had been my favourite (it isn't), but it would have gone very far. Didn't fit into any of those categories, I guess.
