Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 10: Radiohead's OK Computer (plus Achtung Baby results) |
ChainLTTP 05/09/21 4:58:16 PM #12: | The greatest album of all time. This is hard to rank because I feel differently about the songs individually vs how they fit into the album. But here goes nothing: 12. Electioneering - would be a better song on The Bends, but even with Jonny's shredding it's still a weak part 11. Fitter Happier - I absolutely adore this interlude, but it's not really a song so... 10. Climbing Up the Walls - the climax of this hits so fucking hard 9. Exit Music (For a Film) - see above, god damn this song got me through my moody freshman year of college 8. Paranoid Android - probably in your casual fan's top 2, and for good reason. This is where it starts getting REALLY hard for me to rank them 7. No Surprises - such a perfect juxtaposition of lovely melody with dark lyrics that came to define this era 6. Karma Police - it feels disgusting putting Karma Police of all things in the middle, but this album is the fucking GOAT so here we are 5. Lucky - this takes me back to college so much. The Pink Floyd track of the 90s 4. Subterranean Homesick Alien - this song is lyrically perfect and makes me more introspective than anything besides the #1. I love it so much 3. Airbag - the perfect opener: "in an interstellar burst, I'm back again to save the universe." Fuck me, it's so good 2. Let Down - Radiohead firing on all cylinders. This is a band that is clicking. You only see this once a generation, friends 1. The Tourist - The best closer next to the Abbey Road Medley and A Day in the Life. Sums up the entire point of OK Computer in a single track and god damn if it can still get to me 15 years after I first listened to the album straight through. I will be playing this song when I'm on my death bed, looking back at my life, and I will be at peace. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
