I brought OK Computer with me to work today. I think it'll be the first time I've listened to it this year.

I think my favorites might be (also no order):

Talk Show Host
Palo Alto
Paranoid Android
Let Down
Karma Police
No Surprises
High and Dry
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Everything in It's Right Place
Optimistic

Or I could just say every track from OKC other than "Fitter Happier" and "Electioneering".

why do so many people hate "electioneering"? i've always really liked it. is it just that it doesn't seem to fit with the character of the greater album?

I don't hate it. It was one of my favorite tracks when I first bought the album. I thought the rest of it was too slow.

I think in retrospect I just find the chorus kinda tiresome.

If I was a sleepy baby I would think 'No Surprises' was great. But I am, in fact, a 31 year old man and therefore think it's a lot of sucky thumb tosh-bollocks.

But don't call me a hater just yet. I like 'Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box'.

"no surprises" is on this list entirely for the ending chorus when that little tinking harmony vocal comes in. pretty much the same for the double tracked vocal on "black star".

I do hate "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box".

That and "Morning Bell (Amnesiac)" are what seriously hurt that album, IMO.
