Radiohead Survivor - OK Computer - Round 4

[lazarus]

Lucky may be straightforward, but it still pwns. With lyrics that good and a vocal that powerful, you don't need fucking left-field.

^ I didn't say it wasn't great; I just said it's not very "left-field" as had previously been stated.

Everyone I've ever discussed OK Computer with has always mentioned Let Down and Airbag as the best songs on the album. I thought that was the popular opinion.

Airbag is overrated...

Airbag is overrated...

Overrated as in the best music ever made by men on Earth, then

Overrated as in the best song off of OK Computer, then

Lucky may be straightforward, but it still pwns. With lyrics that good and a vocal that powerful, you don't need fucking left-field.

It's just nothing special, really. Nice song and all, but it's nothing compared to Airbag, Paranoid Android, Subterranean, Let Down, etc...

 

[the tourist]

no .

Let Down is regarded as one of the best tracks on OK Computer.

It always comes up high in top 20 lists.

1. Paranoid Android
2. How To Disappear Completely
3. Idioteque
4. Let Down
5. Pyramid Song
6. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
7. Fake Plastic Trees
8. There There (Boney King of Nowhere)
9. Everything In its Right Place
10. Karma Police
11. Exit Music (For a Film)
12. Reckoner
13. Nude
14. Lucky
15. 2+2=5 (The Lukewarm)
16. No Surprises
17. Climbing Up The Walls
18. Airbag
19. National Anthem
20. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
21. Jigsaw Falling Into Place


not that it matters...

It would make it into my top twenty favourite tracks off of OK Computer!

I like Lucky better than 3 of the 4 songs you've mentioned.

 

[lazarus]

Lucky and Airbag finish with only 1 vote each.

I think the people have spoken...

:finalists:

I honestly don't get it's one of the best songs on OK Computer, I mean it is great, I guess it just shows how good that album is. I'd rank 6 of the other songs on the album above it any day. Excluding Fitter Happier, the only song I constantly prefer it to is Electioneering, some days it feels like the third least amazing song on the album.

Airbag is pure genius. It may very well be my favorite Radiohead song other than Gagging Order.

Musically and lyrically interesting, Thom does a good job with the vocals... what more can you ask for?
