The eliminated:

We were to get rid of 1 from The Bends, and we had a clear winner, er, loser
My Iron Lung (currently out of breath)

I wanted to kill off two from OK Computer, but with two tieing with 3 points, I can only kill the top:
Let Down (yes, I'm sad too, but I would be sad with any track here)

Kid A lost
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Optimistic

we mourn their loss.  If you don't, excuse yourself from this thread (j/k)

Amnesiac lost
You and Whose Army?

two tied for second, so we'll just get rid of 1

Hail to the Thief, in a sign from the Heavens that tells me this method might actually work, lost three tracks as desired.
The Gloaming
Go To Sleep (a nice single and video, btw, but oh well)
Myxomatosis (you people kill me)

Now, to see if democracy really works.  Those left standing...

The Bends (5 tracks left 1 more to eliminate for finals)
The Bends
High and Dry
Fake Plastic Trees
Just
Street Spirit

OK Computer (6 tracks left  1 [= x [=2 more to elimate)
Airbag
Paranoid Android
Exit Music (for a film)
Karma Police
Climbing Up the Walls
No Surprises

Kid A (5 left with 1 to eliminate)
Everything In Its Right Place
The National Anthem
How to Disappear
Idioteque
Morning Bell

Amnesiac (6 left with between 1 and 2 more to eliminate...depends on this round)
Pact Like Sardines...
Pyramid Song
I Might Be Wrong
Knives Out
Dollars & Cents
Like Spinning Plates

Hail to the Thief (5 left with 1 more to eliminate)
2+2=5
Sit Down Stand Up
Where I End and You Begin
There There
A Punchup at a Wedding

Again, remember to download my arbitrated picks for Pablo Honey:  "Creep", "Blow Out", "Anyone Can Play Guitar", and "Lurgee" so you'll be informed when we get to semi-final rounds, which will be after this round.

Also, if you have any odds and ends (such as b-sides) to add, then please do so in this round.  I nominated "Talk Show Host", "Fog", and "Like Spinning Plates (live)"

Vote TWO from each album, and rank which one you'd rather see go.  We will eliminate according to the above.

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:

Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

You mean "Pablo Honey" aka the lost U2 album?

"The Bends" has its place in rock history and deserves it IMO.  It did break a certain mold for what was popular with British bands at the time, and has done well critically and deserves much of it, even though it is an album of its time in many ways.  I just see "Pablo Honey" as a pretty standard, average alternative record with a few tracks that only hint at future greatness.  Still, for what it is, it's better than Kutless.

Since you didn't give a second choice, I'm going to count each as -2
