Best Closing Song on a Radiohead Album

hahahahahahahaha Blow Out XD

Street Spirit, pretty easily.

As much as I'd like to avoid a "Street Spirit" massacre, it probably deserves as many votes as all the other tracks combined. Voted accordingly.

Street Spirit for me too.

"Street Spirit."

Life in a Glasshouse

The version of "Videotape" they were playing during their 2006 tour is one of their best songs.

BUT we're talking albums here, so: As much as I love "Wolf At The Door" and, yeah, "Street Spirit," my vote goes to "Motion Picture Soundtrack."

Videotape circa 2006

street spirit is more of a grabber but videotape is pretty epic. tough one.

^ dammit the time hack didn't work out on my youtube embed... just skip to 17m58s on the vid.

If they had released that version of Videotape instead of the one they did release, In Rainbows might have had the best Radiohead closing track after "Motion Picture Soundtrack."

Wolf at the Door though I love Glasshouse and Motion Picture...

Nobody likes The Tourist :(

It's the best album closer ever.. even if you think Street Spirit is a better song, the album still could have been sequenced differently, whereas The Tourist could not have shown up anywhere else..

I like the tourist. Just not as much as street spirit or videotape :-)

The Tourist is my favourite track on OK Computer and easily edges out Street Spirit.

"Street Spirit" just ahead of "The Tourist". Nothing else is even worth considering.

Wolf At The Door.

all deez fuckin gay ass songs are off da hook coz when itz endz: yo ass aint listen no more to a GAY ASS GUFF radiohead album full o' tom yorke's bitchin and whinin

btw i fuckin would smash da azz of dat moka babe up dat thread, nigga i hear she is feisty and spanish

life in a glass house OBVIOUSLY c'mawn guys. actually all these songs are incredible, blow out excluded.

BLOW it OUT yer ass

Blow out = air guitar heroics
Street Spirit = enabling guitarsturbation since 1995
The Tourist = #1 anticlimactic album closer of all time

and then I got off the radiohead bus

"The Tourist". "Street Spirit" means nothing to me.

The Tourist, Street Spirit is a drudge.

Life In A Glasshouse

The Tourist = #1 anticlimactic album closer of all time

The Tourist vs Wolf at the Door.

The Tourist Street Spirit, Street Spirit The Tourist is a drudge.

You must have accidentally mixed these up. No worries, I fixed it all up for you.

The Tourist = #1 anticlimactic album closer of all time

DIE

OK Computer should've ended with "No Surprises."

wtf. That song is just the perfect closer to a dystopian album about the pressures brought to bear by work and technology. It's vast, glacial, heart-stopping. Idiot, slow down....

^ This is right.

I love "The Tourist" A LOT but the ending of LIAGH destroys me.

Is he saying "only only" or "lonely lonely"?

Or just being completely fucking inarticulate!

voted for the Tourist, but I am glad this poll made me revisit Blow Out. What a great track.

xpoist
no bb.
He's saying "ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wow I though Kid A would do better in this one.

all that silence on the track hurt it in the poll imo

Yeah, probably.

plus the fact it's schmaltzy and kinda not very interesting

"The fact."

word is law

Blow Out is so underappreciated!

all deez fuckin gay ass songs are off da hook coz when itz endz: yo ass aint listen no more to a GAY ASS GUFF radiohead album full o' tom yorke's bitchin and whinin

huh?

you had to be there really...

OK Computer should've ended with "No Surprises."

That would be weird.. Regardless as to whether or not it's a better song, it doesn't build to a finale like "The Tourist" does.. and there's even a "ping" at the end!
