Round of 64: (1) Radiohead - OK Computer vs. (64) Foxing - Nearer My God Bracket

Round one is here. 62 years of albums with 2 convenient ties. What album will come out on top?

For this matchup, we start with:

(1) Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)

vs.

(64) Foxing - Nearer My God (2018 tiebreaker)

 

The Foxing hive is huge here but this one is obvious

 

OK Computer easily.

 

This one makes me sad lol obviously Radiohead has it here but it will hurt to see the Foxing album go out so early

 

Considered voting against OK Computer because I still think Third Eye Blind should have won 1997, but I'm not that petty.

 

it was lucky to even make it

 

easiest choice

 

no brainer here (dont let my avatar fool you)

 

Radiohead OK Computer obviously.

 

Easy choice

 

easy

 

I love Foxing but yeah it’s OKC

 

Haven't ever really been able to get into Foxing and OK Computer is amazing so.. pretty easy choice for me

 

I gave NMG a pity vote lol. OKC is only like the…5th or 6th? best Radiohead album for me, where I think NMG is pretty easily Foxing’s best work.

 

their best album would be radiohead’s worst

 

Neither of these are personal favorites of mine, but I like both. OK Computer clearly has been more influential and has "Karma Police" so definitely going with that.

 

Love Nearer My God and it's their best album but OK Computer is a stone-cold classic (not their best, but the weird revisionary stuff about it not being a landmark piece of music is wrong)

 

Just thought this was funny since we’re also comparing them today.

 

Would love to know which one he'd vote for

 

looking at the tracklist, karma police is like my eighth favorite haha. i think me and @cshadows2887 might just be looking to radiohead for different things haha

 

It is and yet

 

I also enjoy their ambitious and complex stuff. But I’ll always value a memorable song the most.

 

with 79% of the vote, Radiohead's OK Computer moves onto the Round of 32

 

Are new rounds posted whenever the poll is finished? Are they linked in here, or do I have to keep an eye out?

 

for the first few weeks until we get to the smaller rounds, it's gonna be mondays and thursdays. they're posted! just peep the music forum
