The only Thom Yorke song that I really enjoyed. It's a nice, moody piece. I especially like the chorus.

Interesting that this is the second lowest single from In Rainbows. In fact, interesting that this and "Bodysnatchers" are the two lowest singles from In Rainbows. Not surprising, though.

So disappointed to see BS go, deserved top 10, but seeing FPL leave eases the pain a bit, their 2nd worst single

I'm actually pretty surprised that TT is still alive, and I'm ESPECIALLY surprised that "Lotus Flower" is still alive, especially ahead of some of the songs that have already been knocked out.
I knew I should have rated it lower.

Lotus Flower's position was the most surprising result on the rate for me  I shall say no more.
And I'm not shocked at all that There There is the highest from HTTT. It's one of their most universally liked songs. I heard it a lot on radio too.

Another one of my favorites out.
I see a lot of my lower scores are still here. I guess I have some wonky taste (no surprise there).

I'm more surprised that SO MANY PEOPLE like "There There" enough to place it this high, not necessarily that it's the highest from HTTT. It deserves it, though.

Really? I wasn't surprised by its placement at all, but then again it's always been one of my faves.

I guess I just remember being there at the time and remembering that there were plenty of people who didn't like it, but time HAS been kind to HTTT, though, so TT's persistent popularity could be a by-product of the staying power of Thief.
"2+2=5" is STILL way too low, though.

I agree completely.
Also, I'm not gonna do anything tomorrow. I literally have class all day. I'll be too exhausted to make graphics and writeups. I'll do six on friday, and then we'll be into the top 10.

No, I love this song! Also My Iron Lung, but I somehow knew it will not make the top 20. But seeing Fake Plastic Trees so low is a real disappointment
I hope at least Planet Telex, Street Spirit and Just will make the top 10

At least one of those tracks will not make the top 10.

I love how people are so confused by Lotus Flower's position.

Harrowdown Hill should have lasted to Top 15. Not too saddened by anything else here.
Reckoner, Just, and Lotus Flower can leave next.
