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

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..

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.

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

Isn't that funny, I chose the same three.

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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...
