Roxy Music bracket: Paranoid Android (1) vs Optimistic (4)
Paranoid Android
OK Computer
(1)
Sporting equivalent: 2006-2007 New England Patriots. It's well known that Bill Belichick is a coaching genius. Nowhere was this more apparent than when the Patriots played the Minnesota Vikings in 2006. The Vikings were (are?) a substandard team that just happened to do one thing well (stop the run). So what did Belichick do? He had Tom Brady pass and pass and pass to a 31-7 victory. That's what "Paranoid Android" does. It does what is necessary to win, and it does it well, no matter what structure it requires.
VS
Optimistic
Kid A
(4)
Sporting equivalent: Acie Law IV - Texas A&M point guard. All heart. Throughout the song, you don't think that much of it. But when it comes times to send it home, it won't let you. It wants to win too much.
Listen to the songs, after the jump

I really, really like "Optimistic", but I gotta vote for the better song.
