Knives Out
2+2=5
Sit Down Stand Up
Where I End and You Begin
There There

Same rules as last time.  Pick five that you don't want on the finished best-of album and we'll tabulate the results.  As promised, if any given album gets down to one track, then that track will be on the finished phorum Radiohead best-of album so that it does span their career as a band.  

(Hopefully, "Blow Out" and "Creep" don't tie near the top.  I might have to become a ruthless dictator if that happens, but vote what you want regardless).

Anyway, I hope we get some more voters on this round...

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.

haha.  It's obviously a conspiracy.  Knives Out definitely shouldn't have made it this far when there are much better songs on Amnesiac that were kicked much earlier (LIAGH...I have to say it).

Well, if we had done this two years ago, "Knives Out" would've been one of my first picks.

And conspiracies are what these Survivor-type games are all about. Though it wasn't a conscious conspiracy against "Creep" in this case.

If you're wondering why I went ahead and picked "Blow Out", it was my dummy fifth vote because I knew "Creep" would get more votes than it and there was no way "Blow Out" could be kicked off at this point. I really didn't feel like picking a fifth song this time around... too stressful of a decision.

We'll probably go to the next round tonight.  

I think we all really like songs that were kicked off at this point, anyway.  I like "Life in a Glasshouse", mainly because I'm a trumpet player and I like the guest musician in that song (Humphrey Lyttelton is solid).  

Really, jazz is the direction I want Radiohead to go because they haven't really explored it all that much and I think they could put their own spin on it.  For my brassy needs, though, at least "The National Anthem" is still around...
