Pixies bracket: Myxomatosis (8) v The Bends (9)
"Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner)"
Hail to the Thief
(8)
Myxomatosis can sure do a number on rabbits; any guesses as to what Thom is implying about human population control? Any guesses as to why this song is told from the point of view of a cat and backed by some of the rudest synths I've ever heard?
VS
"The Bends"
The Bends
(9)
This is about as close to a "fun" song that Radiohead seems to get, not to mention about as close to classic rock as well (three guitar attack!). Something about the CIA, something about the Marine Corps, something about decompression sickness, something about the sixties, a couple breakdowns, and one kick ass solo.
