Hey guys, I couldn't help noticing the follow exchange in the last thread:

Anybody else think the participation's gonna go way down when we start getting into all those non-album tracks?

Probably not. Most of us voters are hardcore fans and are at least vaguely familiar with the tracks.

I'm curious to see what wins that draw, to be honest.

I think I was able to download about half of those tracks. Guess it's time to start giving them another listen. They didn't make an impression on me the first time I heard them.

If it's not Gagging Order, I will personally make it my life's goal to hunt down each and every person who votes against it.

Cuttooth Cuttooth Cuttooth Cuttooth Cuttooth

Based on these quotes, it appears as though perhaps I didn't make my intentions with the non-album tracks clear enough....each EP will have it's own draw...so, My Iron Lung will have its own draw, and then Airbag/How Am I Driving will have its own draw, and then Com Lag will have its own draw, and then the IR Bonus Disc will have its own draw. All b-sides which did not appear on any EP(most of which came from singles) will be put together, but it will take two draws for that because there are so many(one for 1993-1996, the other for 2006-2007 - the latter had far fewer b-sides than the first). I have updated the results section at the bottom of the intro post to reflect all of this - before I had all the EPs on one line, now each EP has its own line, and the two Misc B-sides draws each have their own line:

8.My Iron Lung EP - 2 songs in the final draw
9.Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP - 2 songs in the final draw
10.Com Lag EP - 2 songs in the final draw
11.In Rainbows Bonus Disc - 2 songs in the final draw
12.Misc B-sides draw #1 - 3 songs in the final draw
13.Misc B-sides draw #2 - 3 songs in the final draw

So, going back to the original quotes...Gagging Order and Cuttooth would never even be in the same draw together unless they both make it the final draw, because Gagging Order would be in the Com Lag draw, while Cuttooth would be the second 'Misc B-Sides' draw.

Finally, since we are nearing these draws, if anyone is not familiar with all of these non album tracks, post your e-mail and I will send you a zip file with all of the non-album tracks(all EPs, all other b-sides).

to Ruckman's b-sides compilation. The only thing missing is the IR Bonus disc (although I got it before the bonus disc was released so maybe they've been added now). Highly recommended if you don't have the tracks.

Voted for Nude.

 

[lazarus]

Why are EPs getting 2 songs? I don't understand that. You're giving them equal weight with Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, and In Rainbows?

I think 1 song per EP is enough.

 

[phanan]

Nude, again.

 

[impy13]

Agreed.


And here's a vote for the wildly overrated All I Need. Better than 15 Step? Of course not.

thirded.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

And here's a vote for the wildly overrated All I Need.

 

[Canadiens1131]

This album is all about the down tempo.
Fuck Bodysnatchers.

 

[LMP]

Nude, again.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I'm going to have to vote defensively to save Nude for one-more round.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm going to have to vote defensively to save Nude for one-more round.

Me, too.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Woohoo, B-Snatch is going downnnnnne.

 

[LemonMelon]

Bodysnatchers? Really?

Best uptempo song on the album by far.

Voted Reckoner because it's overrated and I enjoy screwing with Nam's mind.

[lazarus]

So, namkcuR, you're not going to comment on the EP thing?

 

[joyfulgirl]

Bodysnatchers? Really?

Best uptempo song on the album by far.

...on a record dominated by excellent down tempos.

These remaining songs are the best on the record, imo. I don't know how I'm going to vote after this round since all the remaining songs have quickly become some of my all-time favorite Radiohead songs.

 

[LMP]

I'm gonna keep voting Nude until it's gone, even though I see people voting Reckoner or All I Need to "save" their precious.

 

[LemonMelon]

...on a record dominated by excellent down tempos.

15 Step
Bodysnatchers
Jigsaw

Of those, Bodysnatchers is definitely the best.

Don't be a whiny biatch, LMP.

Nude's going to survive another round.

 

[LMP]

It's part of my little bastardly duties.

 

[joyfulgirl]

15 Step
Bodysnatchers
Jigsaw

Of those, Bodysnatchers is definitely the best.

I agree.

 

[phanan]

While I like the song, there is no way Nude is better than anything remaining here.

 

[angelordevil]

15 Step
Bodysnatchers
Jigsaw

Of those, Bodysnatchers is definitely the best.

Bodysnatchers still gives me a chill every time I hear it. Easily the best song on the album, for me. Chilling, intense, full of melancholy--and it just flat-out rocks. An incredible song.

I vote Nude.

I vote for Nude.

 

[namkcuR]

So, namkcuR, you're not going to comment on the EP thing?

If we give the EPs only one song per, we're making them equal with Pablo Honey...I believe all of the EPs are better than Pablo Honey.

 

[djerdap]

Out of those, Arpeggi is my least favorite.

A great record indeed.

 

[If you shout...]

I have been confused by the love for "Arpeggi" for more than three years, now.

 

[lazarus]

If we give the EPs only one song per, we're making them equal with Pablo Honey...I believe all of the EPs are better than Pablo Honey.

That may be so, but the ratio of qualifiers to total songs is way out of whack. Some of these EPs have 5 songs on them, even 4.

 

[Lancemc]

Bodysnatchers FTL.

 

[Dalton]

Finally, since we are nearing these draws, if anyone is not familiar with all of these non album tracks, post your e-mail and I will send you a zip file with all of the non-album tracks(all EPs, all other b-sides).

Zip that shit up, please.
