Kraftwerk Bracket: Subterranean Homesick Alien (5) v. the Trickster (12)
"Subterranean Homesick Alien"
OK Computer
(5)
This is the most Bends-y of all the OK songs, while there are hints of experimentation, the hook is straight guitar-paced rock. It's kind of like a reverse "I'm Only Sleeping"; rather than predicting the direction the band will be going, it's a send off to its past successes.
VS
"The Trickster"
My Iron Lung
(12)
I can't prove it, but I'm quite certain that Radiohead pilfered this song's entire guitar part from an NES game. Possibly one of the later levels of Mega Man.
