    OK Computer or Kid A are the only Radiohead albums that could make this kind of close, but it's still the Cure for me here and the Cure for me overall as a band

    The best Cure album hands down. Nothing on OK Computer comes close to the 1-2 punch of Plainsong and Pictures of You. Ditto for Lullaby into Fascination Street.

    Another frustrating matchup but I have to go with the one I feel is truly better (but just barely) OK Computer.

    OK Computer. The first two songs on Disintegration are unbeatable, but I like OK more as a complete album.

    For me it’s Disintegration, but couldn’t be mad at either of these advancing

    I’d just be mad at The Cure losing. Top 3 album left for me

    If it was Kid A or In Rainbows I'd be more conflicted, but I went with Disintegration

    Already know my vote but still want to listen to both. Also I’m just afraid to see how everyone else is voting, this would be a rough loss for me.

    Picked The Cure. Two killer albums but Disintegration hits me emotionally much stronger.

  23. Yeah, this is the toughest of the Radiohead matchups. I adore Disintegration, but I still think it's Radiohead for me. Don't understand this revisionist history where OK Computer isn't just an incredible record from front to back. Which, Disintegration is too, but...fuck.

    Had no idea this was going on, i'm rarely in the music forum!

    OK Computer for me, I remember being 15, my parents divorcing and I discovered this album. It was PERFECT for the brooding teenager I wanted to be.


    Is there a photo of the full bracket by any chance? Just wanna see what's on there and maybe check some of the albums out that I have never heard before.
