I didn't realize how much I love this album until this draw started. I have had the thought 'I can't believe you eliminated that song' after that last four eliminations, and I will have that same thought after every elimination for the rest of the draw except for Go To Sleep and Sit Down Stand Up.

I think it is unbelievable that Go To Sleep hasn't been eliminated yet. Somewhat catchy song, fun to sing along to, but not of the quality of the rest of what's left(or the last four that were eliminated).
 
You're all insane if you think Backdrifts is a better song than Sail to the Moon.
 
"Myxamatosis," in the best interests of "Backdrifts." Gotta be "Go to Sleep," next time, for the very same reason.
 
"I'm rotten fruit, I'm damaged goods, what the hell I've got nothing more to lose..."

---- I have been a silent participant in these spirited Radiohead survivors since the 'Kid A' round and have yet to give myself a voice in the matter...

However, I feel it is time to break my silence.

'Backdrifts' deserves to stay and is, IMO, a fucking gorgeous and impossibly catchy song that rates as probably my 2nd favorite track on the album behind '2 + 2 = 5'

In other words...it owns.

I have been absolutely baffled by the negative reaction toward this song throughout this entire poll.

Here's one for 'BACKDRIFTS' and for all who support its badassity...

Myxamatosis
