Roxy Music bracket: Street Spirit (5) v Sit Down. Stand Up. (12)
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
The Bends (5) I suspect more people like this than don't, but I think the world is pretty well divided on whether this song is underrated or overrated. Most like the video. Falling around in trailer parks. The song is tender.VS
Sit Down. Stand Up.
Hail to the Thief (12) I suppose this isn't as much of a slam dunk statement as I think it should be, but this song sort of provides the perfect unintentional Radiohead parody. The song, piano-anchored, progresses well enough despite the limited choice of options and repetitive melody, but you know, like 2+2=5, that there will be a buildup. And it does. Jungle-breakbeat and Thom robotically chanting "the raindrops."
