To all who allowed IMBW to advance while eliminating YAWA so thoroughly:

xinfinity

And I voted for The Gloaming.

 

[the tourist]

I Will, though it was close between that and a few of the others. I think I'm for A Wolf at the Door and Sail to the Moon for the win.

I Will is fucking gorgeous and there is no way in hell that it should go before The Gloaming and We Suck Young Blood, at the VERY LEAST.

Final 5:

There There
2+2=5
I Will
A Punchup At A Wedding
Sail To The Moon

Final 4:

There There
I Will
A Punchup At A Wedding
Sail To The Moon

Final 3:

There There
I Will
A Punchup At A Wedding

Final 2:

There There
I Will

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I seriously love this album now…

I think I’ll start with We Suck Young Blood…

 

[DaveC]

I Will.

[LMP]

I love I Will. It works as a great interlude or exitlude to There There.

Surely better than We Suck Young Blood.

My picks to finish:
There There
Sail to the Moon or Where I End and You Begin

I'm glad I'm not the only who feels totally disgusted seeing these people so eager to vote a piece as gorgeous as I Will.

I love his shy smile at the end.

We Suck.

It's a little annoying but I came to love it. Still, I have to start somewhere.

 

[phanan]

Also going for We Suck Young Blood.

 

[the tourist]

We Suck Young Blood is going to be this round's Dollars and Cents. Beautiful, brilliant song ravaged by everyone here. Easily in the top 5.

And I voted for The Gloaming.

You had all my support with being sad for YAWA - which is on my top 3 of Radiohead - but you lost it by voting "The Gloaming" which is in my top 3 of this album.

My vote goes to "We Suck Young Blood" - this song irritates me a lot.

 

[djerdap]

You and Whose Army? eliminated?! One of the finest Radiohead songs ever? Damn.

We Suck Young Blood, which is the worst post-Pablo Honey song by far.

 

[Zoomerang96]

no. dollars and cents a beautiful piece of work.

we suck... is similar to knives out in that the lyrics are a bit comical, but the music is absolutely abysmal.

it's a terrible song, really.

i hope you liked the way i stated my opinions as fact.

 

[sniggirb]

I voted I Will just to be a dick.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

i hope you liked the way i stated my opinions as fact.

i know i did

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I like I Will a lot. And agreed about You and Whose Army, it's brilliant and I'm sorry to see it go -- but that's Survivor, and the tribe has spoken!

Gonna have to put this album on for a few spins to refresh my memory of all the songs.

I love 2+2=5.

 

[lazarus]

I Will, The Gloaming, and We Suck Young Blood are b-side or EP material. There's something telling about I Will sounding better backwards on Like Spinning Plates.

Regardless of the order, these three should be the first to go. Shall we organize a double or triple elimination?

Winners: There There, A Wolf at the Door

Also, is it necessary to reprint the pretentious alternate titles of the songs? Not really.

You're just plan wrong about I Will being b-side or EP material.

It is a brilliantly gorgeous, beautiful song, both musically and lyrically.

 

[the tourist]

I find it so amazing that we can all differ so much as to the songs. What I find boring, other people find amazing. What they find has bad music, I find has amazing music. Etc.

 

[impy13]

There There and Backdrifts FTW

 

[LMP]

I prefer the LA Version of I Will with the longer intro over the album cut; there's little difference, but it's pretty good.

Wolf at the Door is in my Top 5 for this album as well. The chorus is bliss.

[joyfulgirl]

Backdrifts should go next, imo.

 

[martha]

We Suck whatever

 

[LMP]

Backdrifts should go next, imo.

I'd agree, but The Gloaming is still there, too.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'd agree, but The Gloaming is still there, too.

I love Gloaming. I know I'm in the minority but I really love it.

 

[LMP]

That's cool, I wish I could really like it. For me though, it's one of those songs that validates any "Radiohead crawled up their own ass after OK Computer theory."

Your Time Is Up.
