POLLD LIKE SARDINES IN A CRUSHD TIN BOX - ILM Artist Poll #56 - RADIOHEAD

No they're not, sorry.

No prob, just checking. Want to vote in this.

As a 35 year old I like In Rainbows most.

That's my age and favourite also.

OkC is monolithic in how important it was to me when I was 17 but I've over listened to it now and I'd be more tempted to listen to a later one. I don't think aby one post OKC album is perfect but I could make a killer comp that would blow any of OKC out the water from these albums.

I've re-listened to In Rainbows a bit this week and maybe would have voted for more off it had I done so earlier

In Rainbows is their last record that mattered and i will vote for tracks from it.

i'm getting close, only have two albums to go through and listened to In Rainbows twice.

Is this rolling out Monday?

Yeah that's the plan. Albums and 50 - 41 on Monday, then 20 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

this still cracks me up re Harry Patch

In an interview with AOL's Spinner.com, Matthew Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces criticized the song's release, saying of Radiohead: "Fuck you! You brand yourself by brazenly and arbitrarily associating yourself with things that you know people consider cool. That is bogus. That's a put-on. That's a branding technique, and Radiohead have their brand that they're popular and intelligent, so they have a song about Harry Patch."
The Fiery Furnace's publicist said that Friedberger confused Harry Patch, the war veteran, with Harry Partch, the microtonal composer. Indeed,
in the interview Friedberger mockingly asks "Is it 48 notes to the octave?" in reference to Partch's just intonation 43-tone scale. Friedberger defended his reference to the composer as deliberate "fooling around" rather than genuine confusion.

Voted!

I always say 'debilitating'instead of 'deliberating'

Argh wrong thread

12 hours to go, 46 ballots received.

pisces: the best thing about that was in response to that beck put out a 10 minute song about harry partch. (and it's pretty good, although it's not actually just intonated.)

Voted.

voted

haha is that true about Beck?? that's amazing if so.

voted. God that was really hard. new found love for Weird Fishes as a result.

does that live 'arpeggi' version with the orchestra count in this or only tangibly released songs/singles? cos if so i need to ass that. the album version on IR is such a turd by comparison.

tangible*

voted anyway fuck it yolo

new found love for Weird Fishes as a result.

It's amazing, so cinematic. The building layers, the sort of sparkly breakdown, then the dive into that deep dark coda. Took me a good 5 plus listens to get my head round it.

voted

That's 51 ballots, amazing turnout!

Yeah terrific, think I barely scraped 30 for the one I did.

Spent three days agonizing over making a shortlist but once I did, pulling together the ballot was surprisingly easy

ballot in

voted. ballot ended up surprisingly rocktastic.

Sent! Didn't have time to do all the necessary listening, so my ballot looks like something I would have drafted in 2003.

Nice. Who knows with all of these ballots!

I don't think it's gonna be a particular surprise or spoiler to say everything on my ballot spanned The Bends to Hail to the Thief

you missed their best album, imo.

I honestly don't understand the In Rainbows hate.

as an album, I find it to be incredibly boring

More like In RainBLOWS, amirite?

i was kind of pleased that it's the one album not on Spotify so i didn't even have the option of easily revisiting it along with the rest of their catalog. still voted for the one song off it that i liked, though.

I feel like RH have done those songs better on other albums, or Paul McCartney has (faust arp, obv). I like body snatchers and bangers and mash from the bsides disc a lot tho, on my ballot.

rdio has in rainbows up for free in US btw

DJP, do you like 'A Wolf at the Door '? It seems like it could almost be on In Rainbows to me. A perfect segue.

I do like "A Wolf at the Door", which is helped immensely by not being on a boring album

lol

In Rainbows has "15 Step," "Bodysnatchers," "Nude," "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," "Reckoner" and "House of Cards." you guys are nuts!

Only two songs on IR I don't outright love are the last two.

reckoner sounds like a fuckin chili peppers song

also some of thom's worst vocals on that record tbh, just lazy meandering falsettos.

I disagree so hard but goddamn I lol'd

There are probably Philip Glass songs that sound more like RHCP
