I'd say airbag and homesick alien or paranoid android

why so much climbing up the walls support? that's probably
my least favorite

Let Down would definately be a song from the soundtrack to
my life..

'Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around '

Yes, yes and yes!

I'm the only person I know who doesn't feel that this is
the
album of a lifetime, but it's nice enough. "


> no, you're not the only one! : )
i find it good but overrated (lots of "classic" releases are
good but overrated!)...

hard to say which one is my favorite.
my favorites are Paranoid Android, Electioneering, Airbag
and Climbing Up The Walls... since no one mentioned
Electioneering i'd say this one ^^;

...i hate Karma Police. mostly because of the lyrics. yet i
don't skip it, i don't even really feel like skipping it. i
kinda like it even though i hate it, do you know what i
mean? i don't like the music that much and i definitely hate
the lyrics and the idea of the track, yet i feel like
listening to it sometimes just to stare at this enemy track
in its eyes. you know what i mean?

Never skip any track on a good album. Every song makes an
album what it is for me. Most (if not all) albums have
lesser songs (and those lesser songs can be other ones for
anyone), but in the end, they make the album whole. Kinda
hard to explain maybe, but I never skip any track when
listening to a good album.

For albums of which I only realy like 2 or 3 songs, I do
skip the others.

meeting in the aisle is excellent, as is a reminder. but ok
computer is one of the only albums i have heard (and theres
plenty out there i haven't heard) that i consider to be note
for note, perfect.

it's a toss-up between airbag, paranoid android, lucky, or
electioneering.

i like Karma Police now... though it's not my favourite.

(same thing with Lucky)

my favourites are still Airbag & Paranoid Android, i can't
decide between those two... : )

(about albums i still prefer Kid A and Amnesiac - but
Radiohead is great anyway ^^)

I think Let Down is just about perfect, their finest song.
Pretty much every track on there is 5-star, except
Electioneering and the last two tracks.

Thom, on 'no surprises': "We wanted it to have the
atmosphere of Marvin Gaye. Or Louis Armstrong's 'Wonderful
world'."

their best song that is like half ok computer and half the
bends, is a song called Talk Show Host. Its a b-side and was
the romeo theme in Baz Lurhmans romeo and juliet. They also
composed exit music for that film. Get it!

because its the best song on the album

Points: 3346 Status: Regular



rereading this thread, i realize that i havent answered my
own question....

i think 'paranoid android' is the best song off this album.
it's a masterpiece. all the different sections in this song
are amazing, and complement eachother perfectly. it kind of
gives all the different 'styles' that you'll hear later in
the rest of the work. brilliant.

and the video!

is it true that they thought of making a video for every
track?
