Morning Bell/Amnesiac

I prefer Kid A Morning Bell by a country mile.

 

[Zoots]

Hunting Bears was eliminated last round.

What a disgusting result!

 

[LMP]

Pull/Pulk or Dollars and Cents, flip a coin really.

Which version of Morning Bell do you all prefer? I think I've made it clear I like this version more, but it doesn't seem like popular opinion.

 

[Aygo]

My vote goes for "Dollars & Cents". I prefer to vote "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" and "Morning Bell" for other rounds although i'm conscious that the first one of these two is gonna lose.

 

[phanan]

Pulk/Pull

 

[lazarus]

Dollars and Cents, but I don't think it's a bad track like many others seem to.

And it surprises me that so many people strongly dislike this version of Morning Bell. While I prefer the Amnesiac version, I don't have animosity towards the one on Kid A. I just find this one less paranoid, more of an epiphany.

 

[sniggirb]

I used to skip over the Amnesiac version for the longest time. But I've come to appreciate it.

I think what I like so much is the "walking walking walking walking walking...." part of the Kid A version.

 

[the tourist]

Pulk.

 

[Lancemc]

D&C.

 

[the tourist]

"Why don't you quiet down?" in Dollars and Cents is one of the prettiest moments in a Radiohead song.

 

[lazarus]

It's clear now that the philistines have taken over. Pulk/Pull? I don't know what the fuck you people are listening to but it sounds pretty damned cool coming out of my speakers. What are you looking for, a catchy chorus?

If anyone really was behind Radiohead on this album, Knives Out would probably be on the chopping block right now.

Pretty pathetic.

 

[Lancemc]

Knives Out sucks my rod. Not as much as Dollars and Cents, but it's close. Everything else it ace though. I drink it up.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pulk

D&C rocks my world.

Pretty pathetic.

For once we agree with something...

Absolute corker of a song. Radiohead are at their best when they are at their most obscure (which probably explains my disenchantment with Bends).

Intriguing lyrically, with some catchy little video game noises and a fabulous groove that is immensely moving.

Doors in the rudder of big ships....

 

[Zoomerang96]

knives out is pure garbage. that song better not make it. the lyrics are the only redeeming part.

You sure do get worked up over these meaningless polls...

I agree with this. People seem to be afraid of what runs away from the usual friendly structures and sound walls.

calm down.

 

[Bonochick]

calm down.

I agree.

It's just an informal poll that's supposed to be fun, lazarus. Don't get so worked up.

Oh please. Get a life.

 

[Bonochick]

Let's just get back to the topic...and remember that different people like different songs, and there's no reason to get down on someone for preferring different songs.

 

[Dalton]

Knives out

 

[sniggirb]

"Why don't you quiet down?" in Dollars and Cents is one of the prettiest moments in a Radiohead song.

Agreed. I love that line.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I know I'm going to get stoned-to-death for this, but:

Life In A Glass House


I've ALWAYS hated this song.

Me too, actually. But I'm voting so save others at the moment.

*Pulls out stone*

It actually took me a while to get into it. I personally prefer the extended version.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have love for Packt Like Sardines and I'm not afraid to admit it.

 

[FitzChivalry]

*Pulls out stone*

It actually took me a while to get into it. I personally prefer the extended version.

* Crouches with shield and healing drought +3 *

To me the song is the sonic embodiment of a drunk . . . and not a happy, fun drunk who is the life of the party, but a mean, nasty, annoying drunk who hurls insults and vulgarities.
