OK Computer
 

Pick your three favorite songs off of Radiohead's OK Computer.

Mine are Let Down, Karma Police and Climbing Up the Walls.

Re: OK Computer
 

Letdown is an almost ineffably great song.

I would pay for the CD again and again just for that song.

Re: OK Computer
 

It is great, but IMO Climbing is clearly the best song on the album. OOT is disappointing me.

Also, Electioneering is probably #4 for me. Damnit OOT!

Re: OK Computer
 

Airbag/Paranoid Android/Let Down

Re: OK Computer
 

excellent poll

Re: OK Computer
 

Paranoid Android / Climbing Up the Walls / Airbag

Re: OK Computer
 

Can't believe nobody mentioned Exit Music. I chose exit music/paranoid android/lucky.

Re: OK Computer
 

Paranoid Android/Karma Police/Electioneering.

Electioneering is the most underrated song on the whole album, by far. I think maybe people don't like it because of the tinny and spastic lead?

Re: OK Computer
 

Electioneering rocks.

Re: OK Computer
 

How does Electioneering only have three votes? That's definately my favorite song.

Re: OK Computer
 

Paranoid Android/Let Down/Lucky.

Can't decide the order. Lucky is especially awesome at the end of SFU Season 4 episode 3 I think.

Re: OK Computer
 

It's really hard to pick any particular tracks that I like more than others, as they are all very beautiful.

I really tried to find 3 that I like more than the others. All I can say is that Paranoid Android is my favorite track, but I can't make any more distinctions.

edited for this note:
For all the people who were able to answer this poll (people who have listened to OK Computer at least a few times), what albums do you like better than OK Computer? Not just Radiohead albums, any albums.

Re: OK Computer
 

Electioneering does kick all sorts of ass, yes.

Re: OK Computer
 

I would rank Radiohead albums as follows:

OK Computer
The Bends
Kid A
Pablo Honey
Hail to the Thief
Amnesiac

Juust a little bit of work... and there, perfect.

Re: OK Computer
 

Nobody likes Pablo Honey [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: OK Computer
 

I like it better than most but never listen to it really. I could be convinced it's better than Amnesiac, but not HTTT.

Re: OK Computer
 

1. Let Down
2. Paranoid Android
3. No Surprises

People really don't like Subterreanean Hoemsick Alien? That song cuts right to the center of Radiohead's main themes.

Re: OK Computer
 

Karma Police is the one I wish I had written, but Lucky is my fav....

I actually thought it would work in a coffeeshop env. so I worked up an acoustic version and sang it sometimes -

Of course, the all time fav. HAS to be Fake Plastic Trees - but that's a different album...

I just haven't connected to anything since albums 2 and 3 - hmmm..

The fact that "Fitter Happier" has a vote is sad.

Re: OK Computer
 

I used to write quips of that on a whiteboard in our office in 1999 when I was an NT/Windows 2000 consultant...

I was axed in layoffs months later with a bunch of other people - to be fair, we were losing money, but people who played the system stuck around...

But I'm still happy I wrote it..

Re: OK Computer
 

Good poll. People who like Radiohead should definitely check out Brad Mehldau's recordings of several of their songs - Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Knives Out (especially this one!!! from Day is Done). I don't know how easy it is for people these days to find free music, but this is all available on Napster, 30 second samples for free, or a buck a track, or $10 per month to RENT music (or keep it if you're clever) as long as you subscribe. Anyway, definitely check it out.

FWIW, Subterranean Homesick Alien is easily my favorite song on the album.

Re: OK Computer
 

I picked Exit Music/No Surprises/Airbag.

EDIT: I don't get the Electioneering love. I used to have my CD player programmed to skip it. And I would actually listen to Fitter Happier. I don't think it fits on this album at all.

Mehldau rocks. We went to high school together (though he was 2 years ahead of me and I didn't know him then).

There are few.

Albums I like better than OK Computer (In no particular order):

The White Album - The Beatles
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement
Wowee Zowee - Pavement
Nevermind - Nirvana (I haven't listened to this in way too long).


These are about it. The list probably changes a little from day to day.

It's a uniquely pretty, graceful song. I'm always surprised that most people either dislike it or ignore it.. :/

But it was super super close.

Side note, why does everyone hate on amnesiac so much? I think if it was released before Kid A it would have a lot more fans. If Kid A was never released it would be considered a true classic imo. My favorite 3 albums ever are:

Kid A
Amnesiac
OK Computer

FWIW, I dont really consider Pablo Honey to be a Radiohead album. Its not a bad album, just...

Re: OK Computer
 

Lucky, The Tourist, and Let Down. I think.

Re: OK Computer
 

this forum is not giving no surprises enough love... my fave songs are 1. no surprises 2. let down 3. paranoid android

i agree w/ several of you that amnesiac is underrated... i might be wrong, but didnt radiohead produce the songs from amnesiac and kid a around the same time and just indiscriminately put some tracks in one album and some in another?

I'm not gonna get into albums that I prefer to OK Computer, as the list would be quite long, and that's given Radiohead is in my top 5 bands. I just thought I'd recognize this great choice. Wowee Zowee = 10.0 album.

If by 'indiscriminately' you mean, "put all the good ones on Kid A, and left the garbage (with a few exceptions) for Amnesiac," then yes, you are correct.

Also, points for the "I might be wrong" reference.

Re: OK Computer
 

Exit Music, Karma Police, Climbing Up The Walls.

Climbing Up The Walls is clearly the best song ever.

Re: OK Computer
 

More love for Electioneering and No Surprises please.

I still enjoy OK Computer and Radiohead in general, but they are not the be all, end all. They do nicely fill their niche in the music spectrum.

My favs - Airbag, Paranoid Android, Electioneering.
