Pink Floyd Bracket: Karma Police (1) v. Blow Out (16)

Karma Police

OK Computer (1) I suppose its mere luck that some homicidal teen hasn't left behind a videotape quoting Thom saying, "This is what you get when you mess with us." Maybe it's not the lyrical content, but the anger in the music, that attracts our disaffected youth. Instead, the lyrics of this simple and elegant song are perhaps invoked, unironically, when Enron-like traders gleefully talk about bilking Grandma Millie.

VS

Blow Out

Pablo Honey (16)

This is the song -- whose opening sounds a bit like Sleater-Kinney's "Jumpers" -- that will lose to Karma Police.
