Best-Of Radiohead

[bloop]

lock round 3

OK, PH is still easy since I'm the only one voting.  "Stop Whispering" and "Ripcord" are both gone per my orders.  Yay!

Now, the problem.  We've got ties just about everywhere else, and here they are:

The Bends
Nice Dream
Planet Telex, both with 3 votes

OK Computer a 3-way tie
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Let Down
The Tourist, each with 2 votes

Kid A
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Kid A, each with 4 votes

Amnesiac
Pull/Pulk
Dollars & Cents
Life in a Glasshouse, each with 2 votes

Hail to the Thief
Backdrifts
Sail to the Moon
A Punchup at a Wedding

Now, I said that we were going to try to kill two off each one other than Kid A for that round, so that's what we should try to do.  The Bends is already done for us, so we needn't worry about that album for this round, nor do we need to be concerned about Pablo Honey.  What I want you to do is rank the songs from your least favorite to your favorite on the 4 albums we have to decide about.  

Your least favorite will get 3 points assessed against it, your second choice 2, and your favorite of the three 1.  If you really want to keep a particular track do not vote for it at all and it will not get any points against it at all.  Use your judgement, strategize a little, and let's kill off these ties.  Two songs in each of these albums should go (and one from Kid A).

OK Computer
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Let Down
The Tourist

Kid A
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Kid A

Amnesiac
Pull/Pulk
Dollars & Cents
Life in a Glasshouse

Hail to the Thief
Backdrifts
Sail to the Moon
A Punchup at a Wedding

Remember, rank them, put them in order from least favorite to favorite (or just list it as your list favorite, whichever), and don't vote for a particular song if you really think we should keep it around for the next round.

I shall model

OK Computer
Subterranean Homesick Alien (-3)
The Tourist (-2) (I decided I love Let Down and was crazy to try to vote it off in the first place, so I am not ranking it (-0))

Kid A
Motion Picture Soundtrack (-3)
Kid A (-2)

Amnesiac
Pull/Pulk (-3)
Life in a Glasshouse (-2), probably a little too different for a best-of compilation...I love it nonetheless, but I don't mind seeing it off.

Hail to the Thief
Sail to the Moon (-3) (both other tracks, I want to see stick around)

[bloop]

Oh, and just for fun, comment on this:

It's funny...trust me.

[DvChWi]

The Tourist(-3)
Letdown(-2)

Kid A(-3)
Motion Picture Soundtrack(-2)

That is a great link.  It is always funny what kids pick up on.  I did find it slightly sad that they all wanted rap over Radiohead, though.  At least some of the kids seemd to like it at the end, so thats good.  

[Emericana]

Backdrifts (-2)
Sail To The Moon (-1)
You will not eliminate Punch Up. That's just foolish.

[Josh]

The Tourist- 3
Sub. Homesick Alien- 2

Kid A- 3

Life in a Glass House- 3
Dollars and Cents- 2
Push/Pulk- 1

Backdrifts- 3

[latinchic]

Just to annoy the Phorum Pholks...

Soooo...who's Radiohead?  I've never heard their music before.

latinchic  =D  

[bloop]

vote you f-ers vote you f-ers
don't - you get the flan in the face

[murlough23]

Sorry this is late... I was out of town for the weekend.

The Bends
Planet Telex -3
Nice Dream -0

OK Computer
Let Down -3
Subterranean Homesick Alien -2
The Tourist -1

Kid A
Motion Picture Soundtrack -3
Kid A -0

Amnesiac
Life in a Glasshouse -3
Dollars & Cents -2
Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors -1

Hail to the Thief
Sail to the Moon -3
A Punchup at a Wedding -2
Backdrifts -1

[Josh]

Arrgh... David, you're really pissing on my parade today.  

[bloop]

The votes so far:

Subterranean Homesick Alien  7
The Tourist  9
Let Down  5

Motion Picture Soundtrack  8
Kid A  8

Pull Pulk  5
Life in a Glasshouse  8
Dollars & Cents  4

Sail to the Moon  7
Backdrifts  6
Punchup  2

Maybe Andree will come in here and be the deciding vote on some of these (it is entirely unjust to see Kid A go before Motion Picture Soundtrack...and LIAGH before Pull/Pulk, ugh) . . . anyone really could effect this quite a bit.

As of right now, it looks like we're eliminating:
Subterranean Homesick Alien
The Tourist
??? (some song on Kid A)
Life in a Glasshouse
Pull/Pulk
Sail to the Moon
Backdrifts

brutal.

[Josh]

Actually, with the exception of "Sail to the Moon," I'm VERY happy with this round.  

[murlough23]

Can I change my vote and give "Kid A" a -0 instead of a -2? That would tie it with MPS, and then maybe Andree would tip the scales in the other direction.

NP: "In the Wonder", Matthew

[DvChWi]

I'm not.  I WANT SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK ALIEN! :angry:

I think I like this song more than everyone else does, for some reason.  I think its because everyone else is crazy. =D

done and done.  I'll edit above.

[murlough23]

Hey bloop, sorry to be annoying, but I've also rethought my votes on The Bends and decided to give "Nice Dream" a 0 instead of a -2. I realized that while I'm not really tied to very many of the songs on The Bends, "Nice Dream" is probably my #2 favorite on the disc, and if only a few songs from each album are going to survive, and "Street Spirit" is most likely a given, I might as well do my best to lobby for my favorite of that album's underdog tracks.

NP: "Streams", Matthew

[bloop]

The Bends doesn't matter to this round.  I wanted to get rid of two songs and I managed to last round.  The albums that I needed tie-breakers on were OKC through HTTT.

[murlough23]

Oh, OK. Favor - when you're ready to start round 4, can you just put a dummy reply on this thread so I'll get a notification? The problem with these iterative games is that I don't always know when a new topic has started.

NP: "White Days", The Juliana Theory

[bloop]

ok.  new one is started now.  Go vote!  (you too, Andree...skraps I know you've gotta have a vote too somewhere)
