(xpost at this point I hope _Kid A_ wins because it is hands down a better album than _Discovery_, which is yet another example of ILM taking a decent album and elevating it to undeserved godhood)

I can understand people respecting it but liking it? Eh. LOVING it? Double eh.

I do take Jamie's point though, I'm not an 'albums person' and maybe thats why I put Discovery as my #1.

xpost "Music Sounds Better Than You" is a great lost title for someone.

They released a fucking blinder of a tune under a different name, then went on to record multiple infeior versions of it and released it under the Daft Punk moniker and people went batshit insane over it and I never really understood why.

Er, this is embarrassing (in a persistent lurker defends Radiohead even though I didn't vote for it that high, honest kind of way) but...
The album itself takes you on the ol' personal>political journey that Tommy took. Quietude and withdrawal from the world ('I'm not here') to a kind of wake up call ('This is really happening'). The ambient one sits bang in the middle while they think about it all. Kind of symmetry to it all. (The National Anthem should have come in the second half, though.) Anyway, while not being a *fan*, by any means, it is one of the very few 00s records that I actually listen to the whole thing every time I listen to it.

er, i don't recall posting 100 times to this or any other thread with variations on "i've never heard that one"/"i heard that one once in a friend's car, i didn't like it"/"i can't bring myself to care about this"/etc. i dunno, it reminds me a bit of ned's popping up on springsteen/strokes/etc. threasd to offer 1800 chipper variations on "meh."
