    The twist of this entire bracket is that I'm going to ban Pat for his insolence when it's done.

    It really feels like an elaborate long game Craig has been playing for our whole friendship somehow that I will be doing the same.

    can't imagine liking most albums in rock music more than ok computer, let alone a jimmy eat world one.

    i find radiohead as a whole to be wildly overrated and largely unmemorable

    My real long con was to get Futures and Born to Run into the final and then sit back and bask in the glory of knowing I’d be equally happy with either winner. I underestimated the love on this site for OK Computer.

    They are, for me, overrated, and I have felt that way on some level or another for 20 years. I wouldn’t call them unmemorable, but I’ve never quite been able to put my finger on what keeps them from fully clicking for me. My favorite Radiohead albums are not the two most feted classics, both of which I’ve been told are masterpieces for so many years, and both of which have always left me a little bit cold. I do like OK Computer more than Kid A, at least, but I’ve never quite wrapped my head around what makes it so special for so many other people. I go back to it every six months or so hoping this will be the time I “get” it, but that hasn’t happened yet. Maybe someday! For now, it won’t be getting my vote.

    Surprised myself how fast I chose born to run. I'd say it has my favourite two songs from either album which tips the scales in its favour. Both absolute 10/10s though.

    You must fix your heart Supporter

    I feel like Radiohead are one of the most deserving "best of all time" bands out there. Even an album like OK Computer where I don't like it nearly as much as most people seem to, I can see why it's such a beloved classic.

    I can think of few bands more interesting and talented than Radiohead. Absolute masters at their craft.
